vultr

Enables Claude to access the Vultr dashboard to view and manage cloud compute instances, bare metal servers, Kubernetes clusters, and monitor usage and billing across Vultr infrastructure.

```bash

curl -sSL https://canifi.com/skills/vultr/install.sh | bash

```

Or manually:

```bash

cp -r skills/vultr ~/.canifi/skills/

```

Configure via [canifi-env](https://canifi.com/setup/scripts):

```bash

# First, ensure canifi-env is installed:

# curl -sSL https://canifi.com/install.sh | bash

canifi-env set VULTR_EMAIL "your-email@example.com"

```

Your credentials, your choice. Canifi LifeOS respects your privacy.

Option 1: Manual Browser Login (Recommended)

If you prefer not to share credentials with Claude Code:

1. Complete the [Browser Automation Setup](/setup/automation) using CDP mode
2. Login to the service manually in the Playwright-controlled Chrome window
3. Claude will use your authenticated session without ever seeing your password

Option 2: Environment Variables

If you're comfortable sharing credentials, you can store them locally:

```bash

canifi-env set SERVICE_EMAIL "your-email"

canifi-env set SERVICE_PASSWORD "your-password"

```

Note: Credentials stored in canifi-env are only accessible locally on your machine and are never transmitted.
