How to Set Up and Use Alibaba Cloud Ops

Alibaba Cloud Ops MCP Server is a Python-based CloudOps gateway that lets AI assistants manage Alibaba Cloud infrastructure through natural language. It supports ECS instance management, VPC and RDS operations, OSS bucket administration, application deployment via OOS CodeDeploy, and real-time monitoring of CPU, memory, and disk metrics. Teams already using Alibaba Cloud can use it to orchestrate multi-resource operations and deployments without leaving their AI assistant.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10 or higher and the uv package manager installed
  • An Alibaba Cloud account with an Access Key ID and Access Key Secret
  • Sufficient IAM permissions on your Access Key for the resources you want to manage (ECS, RDS, OSS, VPC, OOS)
  • An MCP-compatible client such as Cursor, Cline, or Claude Desktop
1

Install the uv package manager

Alibaba Cloud Ops MCP Server is distributed as a Python package run via uvx. Install uv first if you don't have it.

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
2

Obtain your Alibaba Cloud Access Key

Log in to the Alibaba Cloud console and generate an Access Key ID and Access Key Secret under your account security settings. Store these securely — they grant access to your cloud resources.

3

Configure your MCP client

Add the server to your MCP client configuration, providing your Alibaba Cloud credentials as environment variables. The server is run via uvx with no local installation step required.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server": {
      "timeout": 600,
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}
4

Restart your MCP client

Restart Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Cline to load the new server configuration. The Alibaba Cloud Ops tools will appear in your AI assistant's tool list.

5

Deploy an application

To deploy an application to ECS, first have the AI analyze your project stack, then trigger deployment. The server handles OSS artifact uploads automatically.

Alibaba Cloud Ops Examples

Client configuration

MCP client configuration for Alibaba Cloud Ops using uvx. Replace the placeholder values with your actual Alibaba Cloud credentials.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server": {
      "timeout": 600,
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["alibaba-cloud-ops-mcp-server@latest"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_ID",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Example prompts for ECS management, application deployment, monitoring, and OSS operations.

- "List all my ECS instances in the cn-hangzhou region"
- "Show me the CPU and memory usage for instance i-xxxxxxxx over the last hour"
- "Create a new VPC with CIDR 192.168.0.0/16 in cn-shanghai"
- "Deploy my Node.js application from /path/to/project to my ECS cluster"
- "List all OSS buckets in my account and show their storage usage"
- "What is the current status of my RDS instance rm-xxxxxxxx?"

Troubleshooting Alibaba Cloud Ops

Authentication error: InvalidAccessKeyId

Verify that ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID and ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET are set correctly in your MCP config. Ensure there are no extra spaces or newlines in the credential values, and that the Access Key is active in the Alibaba Cloud console.

uvx command not found

Install uv by running 'curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh' and then restart your terminal. On some systems you may need to add ~/.cargo/bin or ~/.local/bin to your PATH.

Operations fail with permission denied errors

The Access Key must have sufficient RAM (Resource Access Management) permissions for the services you are trying to manage. Attach the appropriate system policies (e.g., AliyunECSFullAccess, AliyunOSSFullAccess) to the RAM user associated with your Access Key.
