What is Northflank?
The Northflank skill allows developers to manage their entire infrastructure directly through an AI coding agent. By leveraging the Membrane framework, this skill provides a unified interface to control projects, services, databases, and clusters without the need for manual API key management. It is a vital part of the Openclaw Skills ecosystem for teams looking to automate containerized application lifecycles.
Built for professional DevOps environments, this skill simplifies complex tasks such as secret management, image registry interactions, and audit log retrieval. It ensures that your AI agent can perform sophisticated cloud operations while maintaining high security standards and developer-friendly workflows.
Northflank Use Cases
- Automating the deployment of containerized services and databases on Northflank.
- Managing environment variables and secrets across multiple projects and teams.
- Retrieving and analyzing audit logs for security compliance and troubleshooting.
- Scaling infrastructure resources like clusters and registries through natural language commands.
- Integrating Northflank resource management into automated CI/CD pipelines managed by AI.
How Northflank Works
- The AI agent utilizes the Membrane CLI to establish a secure authenticated session with the Northflank platform.
- A connection is established using a normalized domain URL, which Membrane uses to handle OAuth or token-based authentication.
- The agent queries for specific actions based on the user's intent, such as 'list services' or 'create deployment'.
- Membrane provides structured schemas for inputs and outputs, allowing the agent to pass JSON parameters accurately.
- For specialized needs, the agent can proxy raw HTTP requests directly to the Northflank API while Membrane manages headers and credential refreshes.
Northflank Setup
First, install the necessary CLI tool:
npm install -g @membranehq/cli@latest
Next, authenticate the agent with your tenant:
membrane login --tenant --clientName=openclaw
Finally, ensure a connection to the Northflank service is active:
membrane connection ensure "https://northflank.com" --json
