【Background of the Service】
VPS servers (virtual private servers) have become an essential part of today’s digital society, serving as infrastructure for operating websites and applications, building development environments, and supporting corporate systems. Traditionally, managing VPS servers via a WebUI (Web User Interface) is intuitive and easy to use, but it lacks integration with other tools, making it difficult to automate the management of multiple servers. On the other hand, while command-line operations enable automation and scripting, they require complex command structures and specialized knowledge.
To address this, as a new approach that combines the ease of use of WebUI with the flexibility and automation capabilities of the command line, GMO Internet, Inc. has developed a beta feature for “ConoHa VPS” that supports MCP, enabling server operations through natural language interaction with AI agents—an industry-first initiative among domestic cloud providers. This feature will be released as open source on GitHub ( https://github.com/gmo-internet/conoha_vps_mcp
). With MCP, natural language instructions can be translated into server operations, allowing even complex configurations to be executed interactively. As a result, efficient server management becomes possible even without specialized knowledge.
【About MCP Support for “ConoHa VPS”】
With this MCP support, the main features enabled for building server environments with “ConoHa VPS” are as follows:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Full Japanese Language Support | Enables intuitive operation of “ConoHa VPS” resources in Japanese. |
| Improved Efficiency through Integration with AI Agents | Supports integration with major AI agents such as Claude and GitHub Copilot, assisting with operations and configuration proposals. |
| Centralized Management via API | Allows unified management of server and network configurations through a standardized API. |
| Support for a Wide Range of Development Environments | Supports startup via npm packages and Docker. |
| Security Measures | Equipped with security features compliant with OpenStack standards. |
These features enable more intuitive server operations—such as creating and deleting servers—by leveraging AI agents. For example, if a user inputs “Create one server with 4 cores,” the AI will automatically build a new server on the user’s behalf. This mechanism allows for intuitive server management without requiring traditional command-line operations or API knowledge.
Furthermore, if a user requests “Recommend an optimal server configuration,” the AI analyzes the best combination of CPU, memory, and storage based on the intended use and proposes an optimal setup. Users can then seamlessly proceed to server creation using the recommended configuration.

【Future Developments】
With MCP support for “ConoHa VPS,” users can now achieve highly flexible utilization without being constrained by traditional operation methods. Going forward, we will expand support to more APIs and operational targets, further advancing the implementation of more intelligent server management features.
GMO Internet, Inc. will continue to actively engage in the development and provision of next-generation server infrastructure suited for the AI era, while continuously enhancing functionality and sharing information.
【About “ConoHa VPS”】
“ConoHa VPS” is a VPS service provided by GMO Internet, Inc. under “ConoHa by GMO,” which has over 750,000 registered accounts (*4). It delivers a high-performance server environment by utilizing the latest CPUs and ultra-fast NVMe SSDs (*5) in data centers located in Japan. In addition to adopting a distributed storage architecture (*6), it comes standard with an automatic failover function (HA function) (*7), ensuring a highly available environment. Furthermore, there are no initial costs, and there are no charges for data transfer.
Two pricing options are available: a “pay-as-you-go” hourly billing plan and the “Matome-Toku” plan, which offers discounted rates for long-term contracts, allowing users to start with minimal costs as needed. Users of the “Matome-Toku” plan also benefit from free provision of the “Alpha SSL” server certificate issued by GMO GlobalSign K.K., which holds the No.1 share in the domestic SSL market (*8), as well as enhanced DDoS protection (*9), contributing to improved security.
Additionally, from June 16, 2025, in collaboration with Beyond Co., Ltd., the “ConoHa VPS by GMO Managed Pack” (*10) has been launched, enabling users to fully outsource server operations, including migration, setup, and maintenance.
(*4) As of July 23, 2025.
(*5) NVMe SSD is a storage device with extremely fast read/write speeds. By adopting the NVMe communication protocol optimized for SSDs, it enables lower latency and higher throughput access compared to conventional SATA SSDs.
(*6) A system that distributes and stores data across multiple nodes to prevent data loss in the event of hardware failure.
(*7) Even if a physical failure occurs in the host server running the virtual server, it automatically migrates to another host server and reconstructs the same environment, minimizing the impact of failures and ensuring stable server operations.
