Operate with your preferred AI workflow

The MCP server exposes platform capabilities through a standard interface, so your MCP-capable client can work with Shard Cloud resources in context.

Explore capabilities

Copy the connection details

The integrations screen provides the MCP endpoint and API key, plus a direct setup command for Claude and Codex.

Authenticate with your API key

Use the bearer token from the API settings when configuring a compatible MCP client manually.

Work with platform resources

Once connected, the client can use the MCP tool surface for your authorized applications, databases, virtual machines, and projects.

Built to operate

Explicit tools, real context, and controlled access.

Each tool maps to a real platform action, not a generic wrapper, so your client's requests translate directly into the same operations available from the dashboard.
