cloud regions

mcp-server-cloud-regions

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing comprehensive cloud region data across all major providers. Query, filter, and compare cloud infrastructure locations worldwide.

269 regions across 14 cloud providers — query by location, compliance, sustainability, and GPU availability.

Quick Start

With Claude Desktop

Add to your config file:

macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cloud-regions": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-server-cloud-regions"]
    }
  }
}

With Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add cloud-regions -- npx -y mcp-server-cloud-regions

Then ask Claude questions like:

• "Which AWS regions have H100 GPUs?"
• "Find HIPAA-compliant regions in Europe"
• "What's the nearest cloud region to Tokyo with GPU support?"
• "Compare cloud provider coverage in Germany"

Why This Exists

Planning multi-cloud deployments requires answering questions across providers:

• "Which providers have regions in Germany with GDPR compliance?"
• "What's the nearest GPU-enabled region to my users in São Paulo?"
• "Which cloud has the most coverage in Asia Pacific?"
• "Where can I deploy with carbon-neutral infrastructure?"
• "Which regions support FedRAMP for government workloads?"

This MCP server provides a unified data model to answer these questions instantly.

Region Types

The server tracks different types of cloud regions:

Type	Description	Examples
commercial	Standard public cloud regions	aws-us-east-1, azure-eastus
government	Government-restricted regions (GovCloud, IL4+)	aws-us-gov-west-1, azure-usgovvirginia
sovereign	Data sovereignty regions with separate control planes	azure-germanynorth, oci-eu-frankfurt-2
china	China regions (separate operators/partitions)	azure-chinaeast, aws-cn-north-1

Filter by region type using list_regions with the regionTypes parameter.

Example Queries

{
  "tool": "find_compliant_regions",
  "certifications": ["HIPAA"],
  "countryCodes": ["US"]
}

Find the 5 nearest GPU regions to London:

{
  "tool": "find_nearby_regions",
  "latitude": 51.5074,
  "longitude": -0.1278,
  "limit": 5,
  "hasGpu": true
}

List regions with 3+ availability zones:

Find government regions:

{
  "tool": "list_regions",
  "regionTypes": ["government", "sovereign"]
}

Check when data was last updated:

{
  "tool": "get_data_info"
}

Data Model

Each region includes:

{
  id: "aws-us-east-1",
  provider: "aws",
  regionCode: "us-east-1",
  displayName: "US East (N. Virginia)",
  regionType: "commercial",
  location: {
    country: "United States",
    countryCode: "US",
    city: "Ashburn",
    latitude: 39.0438,
    longitude: -77.4874,
    continent: "north-america"
  },
  availabilityZones: 6,
  launchedDate: "2006-08-25",
  status: "ga",
  compliance: ["SOC1", "SOC2", "HIPAA", "FedRAMP-Moderate", "PCI-DSS"],
  sustainability: {
    renewableEnergyPercent: 100,
    carbonNeutral: true
  },
  services: {
    compute: true,
    kubernetes: true,
    gpu: true,
    gpuTypes: ["NVIDIA A10G", "NVIDIA A100", "NVIDIA H100"]
  },
  sovereignty: {
    dataResidency: "US",
    dataResidencyGuarantee: true

}

Data Updates

The server automatically fetches the latest region data from GitHub on startup, with fallback to bundled data if offline. Data is verified against official provider documentation:

• AWS Regions
• Azure Regions
• GCP Regions
• OCI Regions
• DigitalOcean Datacenters

A weekly GitHub Action checks the provider pages for changes and opens an issue when an update may be needed; the region data is then refreshed and released by a maintainer (the dataset itself is curated, not auto-generated from the provider pages).

Use Cases

• Multi-cloud strategy — Identify providers with presence in your target markets
• Compliance planning — Find regions meeting regulatory requirements (HIPAA, GDPR, FedRAMP)
• Latency optimization — Locate the nearest regions to your users
• Sustainability goals — Deploy on carbon-neutral infrastructure
• GPU/AI workloads — Find regions with specific accelerator availability
• Disaster recovery — Plan geographically distributed deployments
• Government workloads — Find GovCloud and sovereign regions

Installation

npm install mcp-server-cloud-regions

Disclaimer

This data is provided for informational purposes only. Cloud providers frequently add, modify, or deprecate regions and services.
