Give your coding agent the OVHcloud API: the MCP server to search, read and call its operations, and the agent prompt with its own documents. Pick an agent below to get started.

Preview: the OVHcloud MCP server is to be confirmed

Nothing answers at `https://mcp.eu.ovhcloud.com/mcp` yet. Its URL and its tools are this page's proposal, the way the guides below will read once it does.

## Understanding agents

- **MCP server**: A server your agent calls for tools. The OVHcloud one searches the API's operations, reads their reference and calls them: [MCP server](https://developers.eu.ovhcloud.com/ai/mcp.md).
- **Agent prompt**: One prompt that hands an agent the API's own documents, for an agent without MCP: [Build with AI](https://developers.eu.ovhcloud.com/ai.md).
- **OpenAPI documents**: Every section's OpenAPI 3 document, v1 and v2: what this hub, the prompt and the server all read.
- **Token**: Every call carries yours, in the Authorization header: [Authentication](https://developers.eu.ovhcloud.com/authentication.md).
