Control Plane MCP Server
io.cpln/control-plane
Deploy and operate containerized workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI under one unified API with AI assistance.
What is the Control Plane MCP server?
The Control Plane MCP server integrates Control Plane's multi-cloud workload platform with Claude, Codex, and Antigravity CLI, enabling AI assistants to deploy, troubleshoot, secure, and migrate containerized workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and on-premises infrastructure. It provides domain knowledge, production guardrails, and live MCP tools that execute verified cpln commands.
Control Plane is a multi-cloud container orchestration platform that lets you run workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and your own hardware under a single API. This MCP server brings that capability into AI assistants, allowing you to ask natural-language questions about deploying, troubleshooting, securing, and migrating workloads. The plugin includes domain skills, guided agents for troubleshooting and Kubernetes migration, and built-in safety guardrails for production operations.

Tools & capabilities
Tools this server exposes to the agent.
Workload troubleshooting agent— Diagnose and resolve issues with containerized workloads, including restart loops and performance problems.Kubernetes/Compose/Helm migration agent— Convert and migrate workloads from Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or Helm to Control Plane.Access control and RBAC management— Configure credential-free access and fine-grained permissions for workloads.Networking and DNS— Set up DNS records, TLS certificates, and load balancing for workloads.Autoscaling configuration— Define and manage autoscaling policies for workloads.Observability and logging— Access logs and monitoring data for workloads.Stateful storage provisioning— Provision and manage persistent volumes and databases like Postgres with HA and backups.Security and secrets management— Manage secrets and security policies without exposing sensitive values.CLI command execution— Execute verified cpln CLI commands for CI/CD, Terraform, and Pulumi workflows.
Use cases
- Troubleshoot why a containerized workload is crashing or restarting repeatedly.
- Migrate existing Kubernetes, Docker Compose, or Helm deployments to Control Plane.
- Set up DNS, TLS, and load balancing for web applications across multiple clouds.
- Provision production-grade databases with high availability and automated backups.
- Grant workloads credential-free access to cloud resources like S3 buckets using RBAC.
Control Plane MCP server FAQ
It's an AI plugin that connects Claude, Codex, or Antigravity CLI to Control Plane's multi-cloud workload platform, letting your AI assistant deploy, troubleshoot, secure, and migrate containerized workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and on-premises infrastructure.
The README does not specify pricing. Visit controlplane.com for current pricing and free-tier details.
Use `/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/controlplane-com/ai-plugin.git`, then `/plugin install cpln@controlplane`, and `/reload-plugins`. Alternatively, install from Anthropic's community plugin marketplace.
Use OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. In Claude Code, run `/mcp`, select `cpln`, and sign in. You grant the assistant access to specific Control Plane organizations, and tokens are scoped server-side.
Yes. Destructive actions require explicit confirmation, secrets are never exposed, and access is scoped to your RBAC permissions. MCP access is treated as production access to the orgs you grant.
Set optional environment variables like `CPLN_TOKEN`, `CPLN_ORG`, `CPLN_GVC`, and `CPLN_PROFILE` to enable CLI workflows that the plugin generates.

Control Plane AI Plugin
Run containerized workloads across AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI, and your own hardware under one API. It loads Control Plane's domain knowledge, production guardrails, and live MCP tools into Claude Code, Codex, and Antigravity CLI so your assistant can deploy, troubleshoot, secure, and migrate workloads with verified cpln commands.
Installation
Claude Code
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/controlplane-com/ai-plugin.git
/plugin install cpln@controlplane
/reload-plugins
Update with /plugin marketplace update controlplane then /reload-plugins (third-party marketplaces don't auto-update unless you enable it in /plugin → Marketplaces).
Alternatively, install from Anthropic's community plugin marketplace, where every listing has passed Anthropic's review:
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install cpln@claude-community
/reload-plugins
Codex
codex plugin marketplace add https://github.com/controlplane-com/ai-plugin.git
Start Codex, open /plugins, and install cpln. Guardrail injection needs plugin hooks, which Codex gates off by default — enable them in ~/.codex/config.toml and restart:
[features]
plugins = true
plugin_hooks = true
Update with codex plugin marketplace upgrade controlplane, then restart Codex.
Antigravity CLI
Install the plugin with Antigravity CLI (agy):
agy plugin install https://github.com/controlplane-com/ai-plugin/plugins/cpln
Generic MCP client
Point any other MCP client at the hosted server:
{
"mcpServers": {
"cpln": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.cpln.io/mcp?toolsets=full"
}
}
}
Authentication
MCP uses OAuth 2.1 + PKCE. Sign in to let the assistant act on your Control Plane organizations — you choose which orgs it may operate on, and the token is scoped to those orgs and enforced server-side on every call. Sign in again to change the grant. Treat MCP access as production access to the orgs you grant. How to sign in:
- Claude Code —
/mcp, selectcpln, sign in (orclaude mcp login cpln). - Codex —
codex mcp login cpln. - Antigravity CLI —
/mcp, selectcpln, authenticate.
Environment variables
Optional — only for the cpln CLI workflows some skills generate (CI/CD, Terraform, Pulumi). See .env.example.
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
CPLN_TOKEN | Service-account token for cpln CLI calls (sensitive). |
CPLN_ORG | Default organization. |
CPLN_GVC | Default GVC. |
CPLN_PROFILE | Local cpln CLI profile. |
Usage
Ask in natural language — the assistant routes to the right skill or agent:
- "Troubleshoot why my
payments-apiworkload inproductionkeeps restarting." - "Put
app.example.comin front of mywebworkload with auto-TLS." - "Give my
analyticsworkload credential-free read access to S3 bucketprod-event-logs— no IAM keys." - "Provision a production Postgres with HA failover and S3 backups."
- "Convert this
kustomization.yamlto Control Plane and apply it tostagingafter I confirm."
Two workflows also have slash commands in Claude Code — /cpln:troubleshoot WORKLOAD and /cpln:migrate-k8s FILE; in other clients, ask for the same workflows by name.
What's included
- Domain skills across CLI usage, access control, autoscaling, networking, observability, migration, templates, stateful storage, and security.
- Two guided agents: workload troubleshooting and Kubernetes / Compose / Helm migration.
- An always-on guardrail rule the assistant applies in every session.
- Pre-configured access to the hosted Control Plane MCP server.
Security
- MCP access is production access — scoped to the orgs you grant and your own RBAC.
- Destructive actions (deleting resources, shrinking/deleting volumes, replacing workloads, applying to production) require explicit confirmation.
- Secret values are never exposed through the MCP tools — secrets surface as metadata only.
- The plugin stores no logs, secrets, prompts, or telemetry; your AI client and model provider process prompts per their own policies.
Report vulnerabilities per SECURITY.md.
