The IONOS CLOUD MCP Server is now generally available (GA). It lets AI assistants and autonomous AI agents connect to your IONOS CLOUD account using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard for connecting AI clients to external tools. It provides read-only access to tools across Compute Engine, IONOS CLOUD Object Storage, Cloud DNS, Certificate Manager, Billing, and Activity Log. The server runs locally on your machine and is compatible with Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code (GitHub Copilot), and any MCP-compatible client. The server is also discoverable on the Official MCP Registry, mcp.so, and the Cursor Directory.

The IONOS CLOUD DBaaS In-Memory DB v2 API is now in General Availability (GA). The v2 API is available across all nine IONOS CLOUD regions: Berlin, Frankfurt, Paris, Logroño, London, Worcester, Las Vegas, Lenexa, and Newark.
Any IONOS CLOUD contract can provision In-Memory DB v2 clusters without prior activation. The v2 API introduces a redesigned resource model, renaming the primary resource from ReplicaSet to Cluster, and adds dedicated Versions and SnapshotLocations endpoints, inline snapshot restore through restoreFromSnapshot, configurable snapshot retention and scheduling, SHA-256 prehashed password credentials, and observability controls (logsEnabled, metricsEnabled). For detailed opertaional scenarios and examples, see In-Memory DB v2 API Workflows.
Important: The In-Memory DB v1 API will be deprecated in an upcoming release. Existing v1 clusters will be automatically migrated to v2—no user action is required. We recommend creating new clusters using In-Memory DB v2 endpoints to leverage the new capabilities.
