One command
Add GCP to any Ashlr Stack project with a single command. Stack runs the auth flow, verifies the credential, and writes every secret slot into Phantom.
stack add gcp
Or describe what you're building and let Claude pick it up via stack recommend:
stack recommend "raw cloud infrastructure for scale" Auth flow
Paste a long-lived API key once. Stack verifies it against the provider's API before writing to Phantom.
How-to: Download a service-account JSON key from GCP → IAM & Admin → Service Accounts and paste the full JSON.
Secret slots
stack add gcp writes these 2 secret
slots into your Phantom vault:
GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSONGCP_PROJECT_ID
The values never leave Phantom in plaintext. Your .env file references slot
names, and stack exec -- <cmd> swaps them in at process-spawn time via
Phantom's local proxy.
Related providers in Cloud
- AWS — S3, Lambda, RDS. IAM access keys stored in Phantom.
- DigitalOcean — Droplets, Kubernetes, managed databases. Personal access token verified via /v2/account.
- Hetzner — Affordable European cloud servers. API token verified via /v1/locations.
v1 notes
v1 validates JSON shape and project_id field only — live project endpoint verification requires an OAuth2 token exchange; deferred to v0.2.
FAQ
Do I need a GCP account to use it with Stack?
Yes — Stack provisions GCP on your behalf, but it authenticates as you. Paste a long-lived API key once. Stack verifies it against the provider's API before writing to Phantom. If you don't have a credential yet, create one at https://console.cloud.google.com and paste it once.
Where does Stack store my GCP credentials?
In Phantom Secrets, an E2E-encrypted local vault. Stack writes the secret slot names (GCP_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_JSON, GCP_PROJECT_ID) into .stack.toml — the actual values live only in Phantom and never touch disk in plaintext.
Can I rotate or revoke this integration later?
Yes. Run `stack remove gcp` to pull the GCP service back out (Phantom secrets deleted, MCP entry removed, .stack.toml cleaned up). Rotate the underlying GCP credentials in their dashboard — https://console.cloud.google.com — and Stack's next `doctor --fix` will pick up the new values.
