Quick Start

Prerequisites

1. Get your AccessKey ID and Secret from the Alibaba Cloud AccessKey page
2. Enable the Edge Routine service

Configuration

Add to your MCP client config (e.g., Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json, Claude Desktop, Cline):

Pages (recommended) — deploy static sites to the edge in seconds:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-pages": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "mcp-server-esa", "mcp-server-esa-pages"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your AK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your SK"
      }
    }
  }
}

All-in-one — includes Pages, ER, and Site tools:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-mcp-server": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-esa"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your AK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your SK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_SECURITY_TOKEN": "optional, required when using STS Token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Modular — load only what you need:

Module	Binary	Best for
Pages	mcp-server-esa-pages	Frontend devs — deploy HTML/static files to the edge
ER	mcp-server-esa-er	Edge developers — full Edge Routine lifecycle
Site	mcp-server-esa-site	DevOps / SREs — DNS, certificates, IPv6, site config

Run a specific module: npx -p mcp-server-esa <binary> Pin a version: npx -p [email protected] <binary>

Edge Routine — full lifecycle management for serverless edge functions:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-er": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "mcp-server-esa", "mcp-server-esa-er"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your AK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your SK"
      }
    }
  }
}

Site — DNS, certificates, IPv6, and site configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-site": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "mcp-server-esa", "mcp-server-esa-site"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your AK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your SK"
      }
    }
  }
}

Multiple modules:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "esa-pages": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "mcp-server-esa", "mcp-server-esa-pages"],
      "env": {
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID": "your AK",
        "ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET": "your SK"
      }
    },
    "esa-site": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "-p", "mcp-server-esa", "mcp-server-esa-site"],
