Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations page. 2. Find Pilvio in the MCP directory and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to paste an API key — generate this from your Pilvio dashboard under Settings > API Keys, selecting a key with read and write permissions for the environments you want to manage. 4. Paste the key into Switchy and click Authorize. 5. Switchy will verify the connection and show a green checkmark when ready. 6. Open any Space, type '@Pilvio' followed by a question like 'what services are running in production' to confirm the integration responds. 7. Store the API key securely — it grants full access to your infrastructure, so rotate it if you suspect exposure.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Pilvio are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@Pilvio list all active deployments in the staging environment and show their current health status
Based on the staging environment configuration, there are currently 4 active deployments: api-gateway (healthy, v2.3.1, 3 replicas), user-service (degraded, v1.8.0, 2/3 replicas running), payment-processor (healthy, v4.1.2, 5 replicas), and notification-worker (healthy, v3.0.5, 2 replicas). The user-service shows one replica failing health checks due to database connection timeouts. All other services report normal metrics within expected ranges.
This example demonstrates environment-level visibility across multiple services. The response reflects a point-in-time snapshot — actual deployment states change continuously. Users need read access to the target environment in their Pilvio account to retrieve this data.
@Pilvio trigger a rollback of the payment-processor service to the previous stable version in production
Rollback initiated for payment-processor in production environment. Reverting from v4.1.2 to v4.1.1 (last stable deployment from 2 hours ago). The rollback will proceed with zero-downtime strategy: new replicas with v4.1.1 are starting, traffic will shift once health checks pass, then v4.1.2 replicas will terminate. Estimated completion: 3-5 minutes. You can monitor progress in the Pilvio dashboard or ask me for updated status.
This write operation requires deployment permissions in the production environment. Rollbacks are destructive actions — Pilvio preserves deployment history, but any data migrations or state changes between versions may need manual reconciliation. Always verify the target version before confirming.
@Pilvio analyze the last 50 deployment events across all environments and identify patterns in failures
Analyzing 50 recent deployments (spanning 14 days across dev, staging, and production): 8 deployments failed, all in the staging environment. Common pattern: 6 of 8 failures occurred during US business hours (9am-5pm PT) and involved services with database migrations. Failure mode was consistent — migration scripts timing out after 60 seconds. The 2 other failures were unrelated (container image pull errors). Success rate in production remains 100% over this period, suggesting staging-specific resource constraints or concurrent load during testing windows.
This synthesis example shows how the AI can surface operational insights from deployment history that might not be obvious in raw logs. The analysis quality depends on how much event metadata Pilvio captures (timestamps, error messages, environment tags). Users should cross-reference findings with their monitoring tools for complete context.
Use-case deep-dives
When you're evaluating Pilvio but the MCP isn't ready yet
A 3-person startup is comparing developer tools and wants to test Pilvio in their Switchy workspace. Right now, this MCP reports zero tools — it's either brand-new or the tool manifest hasn't been captured. That means you can authenticate with your API key, but the server won't expose any callable functions to your AI agents. If you're doing early research and just need to confirm the connection works, go ahead and install it. If you need actual automation today — like triggering builds, querying logs, or managing resources — wait until the tool list populates or check Pilvio's docs for a manual integration path. Once tools appear, revisit this MCP for real workflow value.
Installing now to lock in auth for a roadmap sprint
A 5-person product team is planning a Q2 sprint that will rely on Pilvio's developer platform, but they're still in design. They want to pre-configure the MCP so when the sprint starts, the auth is already wired and they can move fast. This is a reasonable play if you're certain Pilvio is the vendor and you have the API key on hand. The risk: if the MCP stays at zero tools for weeks, you've added config overhead with no payoff. The safer move is to bookmark this page and return when your sprint kickoff is 48 hours out. At that point, check the tool count again — if it's still zero, escalate to Pilvio support or use their REST API directly until the MCP matures.
Why zero tools means this isn't your production integration yet
A 10-person engineering team is migrating from a legacy CI/CD tool to Pilvio and wants to centralize all tooling in Switchy. They see this MCP in the directory and assume it's production-ready because it requires an API key. But zero tools means the server either hasn't implemented any callable operations or the manifest is incomplete. For a migration, that's a blocker — you need reliable tool coverage for deployments, rollbacks, and monitoring. The call here is to use Pilvio's native API or CLI in your migration scripts, then revisit this MCP in 30 days. If the tool count is still zero by then, this integration isn't being maintained and you should plan around that reality.
Frequently asked
What does the Pilvio MCP do in Switchy?
The Pilvio MCP connects your Switchy workspace to Pilvio's developer platform, letting AI agents query project data, retrieve build logs, and interact with deployment pipelines without leaving the conversation. Your team can troubleshoot infrastructure issues or check service health directly in chat instead of switching between tabs.
Do I need a Pilvio API key to set this up?
Yes. You'll generate an API key from your Pilvio account settings and paste it into Switchy during the connection flow. The key should have read access at minimum; if you want agents to trigger deployments or modify configs, grant write permissions. Only workspace admins in Switchy can add the integration.
Can the MCP trigger deployments or only read data?
That depends on the API key permissions you provide. If your key has write access in Pilvio, agents can trigger builds, restart services, or update environment variables. With read-only keys, they'll fetch logs and status but won't change anything. Check your Pilvio key scopes before connecting.
Why use this instead of logging into Pilvio directly?
You skip the context switch. Instead of opening Pilvio's dashboard to check a deployment status or grep through logs, you ask the agent in Switchy and get an answer inline. It's faster for quick checks during incident response, and the conversation history becomes a searchable record of what you investigated.
Who on the team should connect the Pilvio MCP?
Whoever manages your Pilvio account and understands which projects the team needs access to. Typically that's a DevOps lead or engineering manager. They'll control the API key scope, so they decide whether agents can deploy or just observe. Once connected, any workspace member can query Pilvio through agents.
