Yandex Cloud MCP: VMs and Object Storage

yandex-cloud-mcp

MCP server for basic Yandex Cloud operations: virtual machines, Object Storage buckets and serverless functions from an agent chat

MCP server

Medium risk

We rate an entry medium when the tool runs code, makes network calls or reads project files. Check what exactly it does before installing.

Why this level

  • Can start and stop real virtual machines
  • Invokes serverless functions with an arbitrary payload

Install

In your terminal, with SkillFoxx CLI

npx skillfoxx add mcp/yandex-cloud-mcp

Detects the agents on your machine, checks the risk and pins the version.

Other ways to install

Run in a terminal

claude mcp add --transport stdio --env 'YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN=<your YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN>' --env 'YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID=<YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID value>' yandex-cloud -- npx -y @theyahia/yandex-cloud-mcp

Or add to the file .mcp.json, in the project

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "yandex-cloud": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@theyahia/yandex-cloud-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN": "<your YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN>",
        "YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID": "<YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID value>"
      }
    }
  }
}

If the file already exists, add the server inside the mcpServers key.

You will need: Node.js

Checked against the repository on Sep 25, 2026, commit 885a319.

Text for your agent

Add the MCP server: claude mcp add yandex-cloud -e YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN=... -e YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID=... -- npx -y @theyahia/yandex-cloud-mcp. Get the IAM token and folder id from console.cloud.yandex.ru.

Other ways from the author
claude mcp add yandex-cloud -e YANDEX_CLOUD_TOKEN=your-iam-token -e YANDEX_CLOUD_FOLDER_ID=your-folder-id -- npx -y @theyahia/yandex-cloud-mcp

IAM token and folder id from the Yandex Cloud console.

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-vm

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.

README in short

The README gives ready npx configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code and Cursor, a table of eight tools and Russian-language demo prompts. The server is named as part of WWmcp, the author's series of 46 MCP servers, under the MIT license.

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.
