Claude Desktop

Set up the OVHcloud MCP server in Claude Desktop.

Agent setup

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.

Prerequisites

  • Claude Desktop installed
  • Node.js 22+ installed
  • An OVHcloud API token (see Authentication)

Configuration

Method 1: Custom connector

  1. Available on the Claude Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans. Open Claude Desktop, then Settings › Connectors.
  2. Click Add custom connector.
  3. Enter the server's URL:
    Text

    https://mcp.eu.ovhcloud.com/mcp

  4. Authorize your OVHcloud account. No token or configuration file needed.

Method 2: Configuration file

  1. Open the configuration file:
    macOS

    ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

    Windows

    %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

    Linux

    ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  2. Add the OVHcloud server under mcpServers, and replace YOUR_OVHCLOUD_TOKEN with your token:
    JSON
    { "mcpServers": { "ovhcloud": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "mcp-remote@latest", "https://mcp.eu.ovhcloud.com/mcp", "--header", "Authorization:${OVH_AUTH_HEADER}" ], "env": { "OVH_AUTH_HEADER": "Bearer YOUR_OVHCLOUD_TOKEN" } } }}
  3. Save the file and restart Claude Desktop.

Verification

  1. Ask Claude:
    Text

    Which OVHcloud API operation reboots a dedicated server?
