NPM package ibmcloud-mcp-server
Claude Code 
claude mcp add ibmcloud -- npx -y ibmcloud-mcp-server@1.0.1
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "ibmcloud": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ibmcloud": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/ibmcloud-mcp/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}

Architecture

The server wraps the ibmcloud CLI binary, parsing JSON output from each command into structured MCP tool responses. Authentication state is managed by the CLI itself.
