Our assessment of ovhcloud-mcp
ovhcloud-mcp scores 74/100 on our quality scale, 2345th of 3,356 Development & Engineering skills we index.
Its MCP Server is 6.1 KB long, well organised into 23 sections with 8 code examples: a thorough specification that gives an agent plenty to work with.
It has 3 GitHub stars, so there is little community track record yet; judge it on its content.
Maintenance, license and trust
- The repository was last updated about 7 months ago. That is recent enough to be usable, but agent tooling moves fast, so check the instructions against your agent's current version.
- Our last check on 2026-09-18 found the source still online.
- It is released under the MIT license, a permissive license that allows use, modification and commercial use with attribution.
- Its trust signals score 86/100, with 2 cautions from licensing, adoption, age or documentation. These come from repository metadata, not a code audit — read the skill file before letting an agent act on it.
