Ask an assistant

Vallic has a public connector for AI assistants. Add it to the assistant you already use and it can look up what Vallic sells, what a configuration costs and what this handbook says, and answer in a conversation.

It speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP), which Claude, ChatGPT, Le Chat and most other assistants support.

Connecting it

Address	https://vallic.com/mcp
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	None

In your assistant, add a custom connector (some call it a custom MCP server) and give it the address. There is nothing to sign in to and no key to paste.

What it can do

Seven tools, all read-only:

Tool	What it answers
vallic_configuration_options	The plans, shapes, applications, regions, machines and services you can choose between, narrowed by what you have already chosen
vallic_check_choices	Whether a plan, shape, application and region go together, and why not if they do not
vallic_prices	The published price list: every region with what a machine starts at, or one region's machines in full
vallic_estimate_machines	What a number of machines cost a month, in EUR, USD or GBP
vallic_estimate_configuration	A whole configuration, line by line: machines, disks, support, uptime, backups, previews, and the discount for the billing period
vallic_search_docs	The handbook pages that match a question
vallic_read_documentation	One handbook page in full

Things to ask

• What configuration choices are there for a Drupal application in Frankfurt?
• Which regions are there, and what do machines start at in each?
• Estimate a Drupal site with advanced support, quarterly billing and 30-day backups.
• Can I have the Dedicated shape on the Shared plan?
• What does Vallic recommend for backups?

What an estimate is

An estimate is the fixed monthly cost of what you described, before tax. It is the same arithmetic the console's configurator does, so the two agree.

• Tax is not in it. That depends on your billing address.
• Autoscale usage is not in it. It is billed by the day while a machine is scaled up; see Scaling.
• It is not an order. Nothing is reserved or bought. Whether the provider has the machine in stock, and your account's limits, are checked when you check out in the console.

vallic_estimate_machines is narrower still: machines only, without disks, support, add-ons or the billing discount. Ask for a full configuration when you want the number you would pay.

The published list is on the price list, and what the plans and shapes mean is on Plans and Shapes.

What it cannot do

The connector is public and reads only what is public. It has no access to any account: it cannot see your projects, machines or invoices, and it cannot buy, change or deploy anything. For your own projects use the console, the CLI or the API.

What it keeps

Nothing about what you asked. The questions and the answers are not stored.

A request is logged the way any request to the site is: the address it came from, which is normally your assistant's provider and not you, with the time and the result. One address may make 60 requests a minute. What you type into the assistant is handled by its provider, under their terms.
