Yandex Cloud MCP: Documentation

Connection

  • Local: npx -y @yandex-cloud/mcp -s <server> — auth via browser (OAuth, default) or the Yandex Cloud CLI (-p <profile>); pick an account explicitly with -S <id> / -u <email>.
  • Remote: Streamable HTTP with an Authorization: Bearer <IAM token> header. Get a token via yc iam create-token (valid up to 12 hours, then it must be rotated). Optional Cloud-Id / Folder-Id headers set defaults.
  • Requirements: Node.js 18+; yc installed for CLI auth.

Agent flow

"Start a VM in ru-central1 and create an S3 bucket for it", "describe my security groups and tell me if all VMs are running", "look up how to set up an Object Storage trigger in the docs", "deploy a serverless function and attach an HTTP trigger to it".

Limits

Several servers are marked Preview (Functions, Triggers, Workflows, API Gateway, MCP Gateway) — interfaces may change. The Toolkit has current restrictions: only serverless YDB databases can be created/updated, and access management works only at the folder level.

Pricing

The MCP is free (open source, Apache-2.0); cloud resources are billed at Yandex Cloud rates.
