Northflank MCP by usefulapi missed one check this week

Everything else answered, so this is steady rather than shaky. We check every 15 minutes, which is how a one-off gets told apart from the start of a pattern, and how you hear about the next one within the hour instead of from your users.

northflank

northflank_create_combined_service

MUTATING: create a combined service that builds a connected GitHub repository and deploys it. May incur Northflank build/compute charges and expose the selected HTTP port publicly. Confirm the repository, branch, plan, port and inherited-secret access with the user, then pass confirm=true. Supply absolute Dockerfile/context paths. environmentSecretReferences maps runtime variable names to existing inherited variable NAMES (for example DATABASE_URL: DB_CONNECTION becomes ${DB_CONNECTION}); never supply secret values. Secret groups must already apply to this service through project scope, existing tags or stageId. This tool does not change secret-group restrictions. A successful creation is not proof of a successful build or healthy deployment: inspect the service and build history. Never blindly retry an uncertain creation; list services first. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/combined.

northflank_get_addon

Get details and status of a single addon. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/addons/{addonId}.

northflank_get_job

Get details of a single job, including build/deploy config and cron schedule. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/jobs/{jobId}.

northflank_get_project

Get details of a single project, including region, cluster and associated services/jobs/addons. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}.

northflank_get_service

Get details and current status of a single service. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}.

northflank_get_service_metrics

Get CPU / memory metrics for a service's containers. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/metrics. Use queryType=single (default) for a current snapshot or queryType=range with duration/startTime/endTime.

northflank_list_addons

List addons (managed databases / services) in a project with their status. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/addons.

northflank_list_domains

List custom domains for the account (or a team), with verification status. GET /v1/domains (team: GET /v1/teams/{teamId}/domains).

northflank_list_jobs

List jobs (manual / cron) in a project. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/jobs.

northflank_list_plans

List Northflank deployment plan IDs, CPU, RAM and vendor prices. Choose an explicit deploymentPlan for northflank_create_combined_service; these are Northflank infrastructure charges, separate from UsefulAPI. GET /v1/plans.

northflank_list_projects

List projects for the authenticated token (or a specific team). Good first call to discover project ids. GET /v1/projects (team: GET /v1/teams/{teamId}/projects).

northflank_list_repositories

List GitHub repositories accessible through Northflank's linked GitHub accounts, with repository URLs and account logins for northflank_create_combined_service. Does not connect a new GitHub account. GET /v1/integrations/vcs/repos.

northflank_list_secret_groups

List a project's secret groups — METADATA ONLY (id, name, type, priority, restrictions). Does NOT return secret values. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/secrets.

northflank_list_service_builds

List a build service's build runs / history (branch, sha, status, timestamps). GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/build.

northflank_list_services

List services in a project (build / deployment / combined) with their build+deployment status. GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/services.

northflank_pause_service

MUTATING: pause a service, scaling it to zero running instances. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/pause.

northflank_restart_service

MUTATING: restart all running containers of a service. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/restart.

northflank_resume_service

MUTATING: resume a paused service. Optionally set the instance count and CI/CD/autoscaling state to restore. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/resume.

northflank_scale_service

MUTATING: set the number of running instances (replicas) for a service. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/scale.

northflank_trigger_service_build

MUTATING: start a new build for a build/combined service. With an empty body it builds the latest commit on the linked branch; optionally target a branch, a specific commit sha, or a pull request. POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/services/{serviceId}/build.
