Can I see both serverless and dedicated clusters with this server?

Yes. Use `list_instances` to see TiDB X instances (Serverless/Starter/Premium) and `list_clusters` to view your Dedicated cluster infrastructure.

How do I get the ID of a specific project to query its instances?

You can run the `list_projects` tool first. It will return a list of all accessible projects along with their unique IDs, which you can then use in `list_instances` or `list_clusters`.

Does this tool allow me to delete or create new clusters?

No. The current version of the TiDB Cloud MCP server is focused on discovery and inspection (read-only operations) such as `list_projects`, `get_project`, and `list_clusters` to ensure safe infrastructure monitoring.
