xCloud AI Agent Skills bring your xCloud infrastructure directly into AI assistants such as Claude Code. Instead of manually navigating dashboards and API documentation, you can simply ask your AI assistant to perform tasks using natural language.

With xCloud AI Agent Skills, you can discover servers, inspect sites, check WordPress updates, monitor infrastructure, and perform actions through conversational commands powered by the xCloud Public API.

For example, the “xcloud:servers” skill lets you ask “find my servers” and get a clear list back, with the server name, status, public IP, and provisioning state. You do not need to know any API endpoints to get a useful result. The assistant makes the calls in the background and replies in plain language.

Follow this step-by-step guide to install the xCloud AI Agent Skills, connect them to your AI assistant, and start managing your xCloud resources with simple prompts. The entire setup process takes only a few minutes.

Collect the xCloud API Token #

Step 1: Generate an xCloud API Token #

First, go to your xCloud dashboard. Navigate to the left-hand sidebar menu, select Settings, and then click on the ‘Developers’ option from the left-hand menu and click on the ‘API Tokens’ option. Within the API tokens interface, click the Create New Token button.

Step 2: Configure Token Name and Permissions #

1. Full Access (all permissions)
2. read:servers
3. write:servers
4. read:sites
5. write:sites

Once configured, click Create Token.

Step 3: Copy and Store Your API Token  #

Install the xCloud AI Agent Skills #

Step 4: Access the Agent Skills Repository #

Then go to the Settings → Developers option from the xCloud dashboard. Now, click on the Agent Skills from the menu. 

You will be redirected to the xCloud Agent Skills documentation. You can go to the md file directly, download the md file of the skills, and use it according to your preferences.

Or, you can go to the repository; from here, you can visit our git repository to access the command to install on Claude Code. 

We are going to install it using xCloud’s Agent Skills Marketplace. So go to the GitHub repository and access the command for Claude code. Copy the installation commands. You will run them inside Claude Code in the next steps.

Configure the xCloud AI Agent Skills with Claude Chat #

First, go to the Profile from your Claude, then choose Settings, and click on the Capabilities option from the menu

Then, head over to the ‘Allowed Additional Domains’ and enter the ‘app.xcloud.host’ domain in the dedicated field and click on the ‘Add. button.

Next, download the agent skill (if you haven’t downloaded it already) zip file, then open The Claude Code and go to ‘Customize’ → ‘Skills’ and upload the downloaded file. It will automatically create the Skills in Claude.

Then go to the ‘Claude Chat’ and enter your xCloud Public API key. If you haven’t created it yet, visit here and create an API key.Go to the Claude Chat and start asking something like that ‘Give me a server and site lists”. 

Note: We recommend entering your xCloud API token in your env file rather than directly in your chat, since anything pasted into a conversation can persist in chat history. For the most secure experience, we recommend using Claude Code

 After that, you will see the Agent Skills start working and giving you the results according to your instructions.

And that’s it: this is how easily you can manage your xCloud site through AI Agents like Claude Code or Chat easily.

Configure the xCloud AI Agent Skills with Claude Code #

Step 5: Open Claude Code and Add Your xCloud API Key #

Launch Claude Code on your machine and open a new session. Then add the xCloud API key to your environment JSON file at ~/.claude/settings.json:

{ "env": { "XCLOUD_API_TOKEN": "your-token-here" } }

You can update the file manually, or simply ask Claude to add the xCloud API key to the JSON file for you.

Step 6: Install the xCloud AI Agent Skills #

Run the commands below to add the marketplace, install the plugin, and reload:

/plugin marketplace add xCloudDev/xcloud-agent-skills

/plugin install xcloud

/reload-plugins

Once you run these commands, Claude loads the skills and connects them to the xCloud API. Restart Claude Code so it picks up the token, then confirms the connection by asking Claude, “Check my xCloud API connection.” After it finishes, your AI assistant gains access to xCloud capabilities.

Step 7: Begin Interacting Using the AI Agent Skills #

Once the skills have been installed, you can begin interacting with your xCloud infrastructure.

Ask Claude:

/xcloud:servers, tell me my servers status

You can also just say “find my servers” in plain language, and Claude loads the matching skill for you.

Then the skill connects to the xCloud Public API and retrieves the servers available in your account.

Claude will return information such as:

• Server Name
• Server Status
• Public IP Address
• Provisioning Status
• Server Identifier

All data is retrieved directly from your xCloud account in real time.

And that’s it; this is how easily you can install and set up xCloud AI Agent Skills. In just a few minutes, xCloud AI Agent Skills puts your servers, sites, and WordPress installations a single prompt away. From here, you can manage your infrastructure with plain language instead of clicks and menus. Load the skill you need, ask your question, and let the assistant handle the API calls. You can keep chatting in the same conversation to refine any result.

If you have any questions or are facing issues, feel free to reach out to our support team.
