**APIs profiled:** 1

Machine0 is a Y Combinator (S26)-backed infrastructure company, operated by Fundamental Software, that provides persistent, on-demand cloud virtual machines driven entirely from the command line and optimized for AI agents. The machine0 CLI ("Cloud VMs from the CLI") and a remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) server let you create, provision, snapshot, suspend and SSH into dedicated VMs — NixOS or Ubuntu, up to 60 vCPU / 240GB RAM with optional GPUs — across five regions (US East/West, UK, EU, Asia) with static IPs, HTTPS endpoints and per-minute billing. Suspend a VM to freeze its state and stop compute charges. Every CLI command supports JSON output and the MCP server exposes the same machine, image, SSH-key and remote-exec operations to agents.
