Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check Civo MCP by usefulapi every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Available tools 22

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

civo

civo_create_dns_record

Add one record to a Civo-hosted domain. Live DNS changes propagate to the world; undo by deleting the record in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.

civo_create_firewall_rule

Add one rule to a firewall — e.g. allow TCP 443 ingress from 0.0.0.0/0. This changes what is reachable on every instance, cluster and load balancer using the firewall, so prefer narrow CIDRs. Undo by deleting the rule in the Civo dashboard or CLI. Civo: POST /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.

civo_get_instance

Fetch one instance: status, size, CPU/RAM/disk, public and private IPs, network, firewall, tags, attached volumes and source image. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances/{id}.

civo_get_kubernetes_cluster

Fetch one Kubernetes cluster: status, readiness, conditions, version and available upgrade, pools and their instances, network, firewall, CNI and installed marketplace apps. The kubeconfig is redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters/{id}.

civo_get_quota

The account's limits and current usage: instances, CPU cores, RAM, disk, volumes, snapshots, public IPs, networks, firewalls and rules, load balancers, object storage and databases. Answers 'can I launch another one?'. Civo: GET /v2/quota.

civo_list_charges

List billable usage for a period: each resource's product code, label, region, time span and hours (size_gb for volumes). The range may be at most 31 days; defaults to the start of the current month until now. Civo: GET /v2/charges.

civo_list_databases

List the managed databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) in a region: software and version, size, nodes, IPs, port, network, firewall and status. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/databases.

civo_list_dns_domains

List the domains whose DNS Civo hosts for the account. Civo: GET /v2/dns.

civo_list_dns_records

List the records of one hosted domain (name, type, value, priority, TTL), optionally filtered by type or name. Civo: GET /v2/dns/{domain_id}/records.

civo_list_firewall_rules

List the rules of one firewall: protocol, port range, CIDRs, direction (ingress/egress), action (allow/deny) and label — the answer to 'what is exposed to the internet?'. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls/{id}/rules.

civo_list_firewalls

List the firewalls in a region with their network, rule count and how many instances, clusters and load balancers use each. Civo: GET /v2/firewalls.

civo_list_instance_sizes

List the sizes (plans) that can be launched — instances, Kubernetes nodes and databases — with CPU cores, RAM, disk, transfer allowance and GPU. Civo: GET /v2/sizes.

civo_list_instances

List compute instances in a region, optionally filtered by tags. Paginated: returns {page, per_page, pages, items}. Passwords are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/instances.

civo_list_kubernetes_clusters

List the Kubernetes (K3s/Talos) clusters in a region with status, version, node pools, API endpoint and installed applications. Paginated: {page, per_page, pages, items}. Kubeconfigs are redacted. Civo: GET /v2/kubernetes/clusters.

civo_list_load_balancers

List the load balancers in a region: algorithm, backends (IP, protocol, source/target ports), public IP, state and the Kubernetes service each fronts. Civo: GET /v2/loadbalancers.

civo_list_networks

List the private networks in a region: label, CIDR, whether it is the default network, status and nameservers. Civo: GET /v2/networks.

civo_list_regions

List the Civo regions available to the account, with which one is the default, whether each is out of capacity, and the features each supports (IaaS, Kubernetes, object store, load balancers, GPU, databases). A cheap way to confirm the API key works. Civo: GET /v2/regions.

civo_list_volumes

List the block-storage volumes in a region: size, status, type, and the instance or cluster each is attached to (unattached volumes still bill). Civo: GET /v2/volumes.

civo_reboot_instance

Reboot one instance. `soft` (default) asks the OS to restart cleanly; `hard` cuts power and boots it again, like pulling the plug — use only when soft does not work. Causes brief downtime. Civo: POST /v2/instances/{id}/soft_reboots or /hard_reboots.

civo_set_instance_tags

REPLACE the full tag list of one instance (tags are used for filtering and by load-balancer instance pools, so changing them can move an instance in or out of a pool). Pass the complete desired list; an empty list clears all tags. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/tags.

civo_start_instance

Boot a stopped instance. Undoes civo_stop_instance. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/start.

civo_stop_instance

Power off one instance. Anything it serves goes offline until it is started again with civo_start_instance. A stopped instance is still billed. Civo: PUT /v2/instances/{id}/stop.

Among them: civo_create_dns_record, civo_create_firewall_rule, civo_get_instance, civo_get_kubernetes_cluster, civo_get_quota, civo_list_charges and 16 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →

Is Civo MCP by usefulapi working right now?

We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 123 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.

Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.

Does Civo MCP by usefulapi need an API key?

No. Civo MCP by usefulapi completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 22 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.

How fast is Civo MCP by usefulapi?

It answers our handshake in 123 ms on average, which is faster than 77% of all working MCP servers we measure. That puts it in the quick quarter of the ecosystem. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
