Summary
This is a comprehensive CLI wrapper that exposes 80+ IBM Cloud operations through MCP tools. It covers the full spectrum of IBM Cloud management: authentication and targeting, resource groups and service instances, Cloud Foundry app deployment, Kubernetes cluster operations, Container Registry namespace management, IAM user and access group administration, and billing usage queries. The server shells out to the installed ibmcloud CLI binary and parses JSON responses into structured tool outputs. Authentication state lives in the CLI itself, so you handle login via API key or SSO through the tools. Reach for this when you need an LLM to provision infrastructure, manage deployments, or query cloud resources across IBM's platform without writing custom integration code.
