Bridging the AI context gap with MCP 🌐

Ever ask your AI coding assistant to optimize a query only for it to generate bugs because it cannot see your actual database size or infrastructure state? Missing context is the real enemy.

By tunneling a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server into your Upsun cloud environment through the CLI, you can bridge this gap safely.

How it improves your workflow:

  • Connects local tools like Cursor or Claude Code to live, isolated preview environments.
  • Grounds AI suggestions in real schemas and environment variables without manual credential handling.
  • Uses secure, encrypted connections so production data replicas remain protected.

Check out the full article to see how to set it up in minutes:

Local AI IDEs see your code but not your cloud. Host an MCP server on Upsun to give Cursor, Claude Code and more real infrastructure context
