The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Install

How do I install the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server?

RunCloud MCP by usefulapi is a hosted endpoint at https://runcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

Common questions

What is the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server?

RunCloud MCP by usefulapi is listed in the public MCP registry as io.usefulapi/runcloud. Read RunCloud servers, web apps, databases and logs; deploy, restart services, renew SSL. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://runcloud.usefulapi.io/mcp).

Is the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server safe to use?

RunCloud MCP by usefulapi scores 65 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server expose?

RunCloud MCP by usefulapi exposes 36 tools: runcloud_ping, runcloud_list_servers, runcloud_get_server, runcloud_get_server_stats, runcloud_get_server_hardware, and 31 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 3,759 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server require authentication?

Yes. RunCloud MCP by usefulapi asked us for credentials when we connected, so you will need to authorise it in your MCP client before it can do anything.

Is the RunCloud MCP by usefulapi server still maintained?

RunCloud MCP by usefulapi is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 17 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
