We are stoked to announce that we have released our very own hosted MCP that allows you to use natural language to interact with and control anything you have running on Cycle.io. Alexander Mattoni, CTO and co-founder of Cycle, shares a few scenarios where the MCP can be useful. With the MCP, Cycle users can communicate with the Cycle platform directly from their preferred AI tool. In minutes, users can provision a new server, deploy an application, or troubleshoot an issue directly from their AI assistant like Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT or Codex.

Cycle teamed up with bare metal service provider Cherry Servers to discuss how rising political tension and controversy involving the United States is pushing many European organisations to take a closer look at where their data is hosted and handled. Many companies have been forced to look into alternative options to ensure their data is not hosted in or accessible by anyone outside of Europe.

Alexander Mattoni, Head of Engineering and co-founder @ cycle.io shows Sanskriti Harmukh, Developer Relations Advocate @ Vultr, how the new MCP can spin up a full working application with all the required infrastructure, using Cycle's new MCP.

Cycle recently went through a System and Organization Controls (SOC) 2 Type 1 audit and we've got the report. It’s an important step in our continuous commitment to data security and system availability. But are we just checking boxes for the sake of boxes or is there more behind it? cycle.io/contact.

Your Infrastructure. Your Cloud. Anywhere. Introducing Virtual Providers—a powerful new way to turn any server or VM into part of your Cycle-managed private cloud. With just a bootable ISO generated from the Cycle platform, you can instantly bring bare metal or virtual machines online—no matter where they live. Cloud, colo, on-prem, edge, or even a server sitting in a closet. Once connected, Cycle handles the provisioning, updates, networking, and orchestration automatically.

Run Anything, Anywhere — Now Including Virtual Machines Cycle just got even more powerful. In this video, we're announcing full support for virtual machine workloads on the Cycle platform. That means containers, functions, and now VMs—running side by side, managed through the same automation, networking, and orchestration engine. Whether it's bare metal in a colo, VMs on a cloud provider, or hardware in a homelab, Cycle brings it all together into one global private cloud.

Cycle was built to be a powerful, security focused container orchestration platform that is a more user friendly alternative to Kubernetes. One way it achieves this is by making complex, yet secure networking easy to achieve. By combining Cycle's private networks, known as environments, with Cloudflare Tunnel, teams can further enhance their network security and reliability.

In the 5th episode of the Cycle Spotlight we sit down with Head of Engineering at Busify, Casey Dement, who uncovers key reasons why all businesses should strongly reconsider before they jump down the K8s rabbit hole.

We caught up with Alexander Mattoni, Cycle's Head of Engineering and Co-Founder. He unveils plans for and awesome resource for all of those in the DevOps community and what to expect from the Cycle team in the coming weeks.
