Agent setup
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.

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.
- Agent prompt
- One prompt that hands an agent the API's own documents, for an agent without MCP: Build with AI.
- 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.
