Product Update: Welcome page, IP Restrictions, MCP Server, and CLI

Faster onboarding, tighter security, and expanded developer access.

This release introduces updates across the Nirvana control plane that streamline onboarding, strengthen security, and expand developer access.

What’s New

1. New Welcome Page (Dashboard)

After logging in, users are now taken to a dedicated Welcome page designed to orient quickly and make the control plane easier to navigate from day one.

The page includes:

Getting started tasks
SDK and documentation links
What’s new notes
Quick Actions for common workflows such as VMs, volumes, VPCs, RPC nodes, and API keys

2. Overview Pages (Cloud and Blockchain)

Cloud and Blockchain now each have an Overview page that summarizes active resources at a glance.

As more metrics and system statistics are added, these pages will evolve into higher-signal operational dashboards for day-to-day visibility.

3. Dashboard IP Filtering

We've rolled out Dashboard IP Filtering under Manage Account → Security.

This works similarly to API Key Filtering where you can define allowed and/or blocked IPs

It is live across:

Dashboard
API
Go SDK
TypeScript SDK (Terraform support is coming later.)

Because these settings can lock you out, confirmation steps are required. If misconfigured, restricted access may surface as load failures. UX improvements are planned to make this easier and safer to manage.

4. MCP Server

We now provide an MCP server that can be run locally to connect AI agents directly to the Nirvana API.

This enables:

Programmatic interaction via the Model Context Protocol
Local experimentation with agents managing Nirvana resources

Setup instructions are available through the NPM package and GitHub repository. If there is sufficient demand, we will explore offering a hosted version to simplify setup.

5. Nirvana CLI (WIP)

A new Nirvana CLI is now available, allowing you to manage resources directly from your terminal.

Example:

Before using the CLI, export your API key:

Notes:

Documentation is currently minimal and will improve
Homebrew installs may be flagged by macOS notarization for now
Go-based installation is also supported

6. API Key IP Filtering

API keys now support source IP restrictions through a new source_ip_rule field, giving teams finer control over where API requests can originate.

You can define:

Allowed IP CIDRs
Blocked IP CIDRs

This feature is available across:

Dashboard
API
Go SDK
TypeScript SDK
Terraform Provider

It enables tighter production security and scoped API access without requiring additional proxy or network layers.

Together, these changes move Nirvana closer to a control plane that scales cleanly from first deploy to production infrastructure.

Let us know how this release works for you, and if there are features or workflows you’d like to see next.

A 2026 update on cloud infrastructure for modern workloads The cloud is often described as “someone else’s computer.” At its core, the cloud is a system for renting compute, storage, and networking instead of owning physical hardware.
