Provision TiDB Cloud Serverless clusters and related resources. Use when creating, deleting, or listing clusters/branches, or managing SQL users via the console.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# TiDB Cloud Provisioning (TiDB X)

Provision TiDB Cloud Serverless (now branded as TiDB X) clusters and related resources using the workflows below. Use the command patterns in the references file as implementation details, but keep the focus on the provisioning outcome and required inputs.

Note: TiDB Cloud Serverless has been renamed to TiDB X. Keep both terms in user-facing guidance for clarity.
Note: Many users say "instance" when they mean "cluster." Treat "instance" as a synonym for "cluster."

Reminder: Use the CLI for TiDB Cloud (TiDB X) auth/setup, listing regions/projects, and cluster/instance CRUD (Create, Read/list, Update, Delete). Before any CRUD action, ensure the user completes ticloud setup and authentication (see Provisioning Setup below).

## Provisioning Setup

Complete setup before any provisioning or lifecycle operations.

Setup Status (TiDB Cloud component)  
- ○ ticloud installed  
- ○ authenticated  

When verifying setup, remind users to follow this order: install → login → verify with `ticloud auth whoami`.
Use the checklist to show users what they should do next and where they are in the setup flow.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add pingcap/agent-rules/tidbx@sha256:a7754fb23621bae5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20251225.070b1b1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
