This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.
What it does
The server gives the agent eight tools over the Yandex Cloud API: list and fetch a VM, start and stop it, list Object Storage buckets, list serverless functions, invoke a function with an arbitrary payload, and check an async operation's status. Every request carries an IAM token and folder id from environment variables. The server is part of the author's WWmcp series of 46 small MCP servers, each installed as its own npm package.
Who it is for. For people who run a handful of VMs and functions in Yandex Cloud and want to control them with short agent commands instead of the console.
Good fit when
- You want to quickly start or stop a test VM
- You want to list buckets or functions in a folder without the console
- You want to invoke a serverless function with a test payload and check an operation's status
Not a fit when
- You need networking, disk, database cluster or billing management: none of that is here
- You need an official tool from Yandex Cloud itself
Example request
Show all VMs in my folder and start the one named test-vmMCP
- Transport
- stdio
- Authentication
- API key
Environment variables
YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKENrequired, secret- Yandex Cloud IAM token
YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_IDrequired- Yandex Cloud folder id
Limitations
Only four areas are covered: Compute VM, Object Storage, Serverless Functions and operation status. No networking, disks, managed databases or billing. Needs an IAM token that must be refreshed manually; there is no auto-refresh. Community project, not a Yandex Cloud product.
How to disable. Run claude mcp remove yandex-cloud in Claude Code or delete the yandex-cloud block from your MCP client config.
FAQ
How long does the IAM token last?
Yandex Cloud IAM tokens are short-lived, and the README does not describe auto-refresh, so you reissue it via the console or the yc CLI yourself.
Can it manage disks or networks?
No, the server only covers VMs, Object Storage and serverless functions.
