| ---------- | ---- | ------ | -------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `instance` | body | string | —        | Instance binds a DEDICATED add-on to the app instance whose \<instance>-addons Secret receives the \<KIND>\_URL (e.g. "commerce"). |
| `name`     | body | string | —        | Name is the org-unique slug for the new resource, matching ^[a-z0-9](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/openapi)?$.                        |

## Response

| Field              | In   | Type            | Always | Description                                                                                                                               |
| ------------------ | ---- | --------------- | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `connectionString` | body | string          | —      | ConnectionString is the ready-to-use DSN, credential included.                                                                            |
| `database`         | body | string          | —      | Database is the logical database, collection, index or bucket this resource resolves to on its backend.                                   |
| `host`             | body | string          | —      | Host is the address that routes to this resource — a dedicated instance's own in-cluster Service, or the public gateway for a shared one. |
| `id`               | body | string          | —      | ID is the resource's server-minted handle, "rs\_"-prefixed.                                                                               |

| `password`         | body | string          | —      | Password is the minted credential, in plaintext, for the kinds that have one.                                                             |
| `port`             | body | integer (int64) | —      | Port is the port a client connects to on Host.                                                                                            |
| `status`           | body | string          | —      | Status is "ready", or "provisioning" while a dedicated instance is still being materialized by the operator.                              |
| `username`         | body | string          | —      | Username is the credential's user, for the kinds that mint one per resource.                                                              |

Failure carries the platform error shape — see [Errors](https://docs.hanzo.ai/docs/errors).

## Examples

**CLI**

```bash
hanzo provisioning vector create
```

**SDK**

**.ts**

```ts
import { Configuration, ProvisioningApi } from 'hanzoai';

const api = new ProvisioningApi(new Configuration({ accessToken: process.env.HANZO_API_KEY }));
const { data } = await api.postProvisioningVector({ instance: "<instance>", name: "<name>" });
```

**.py**

```python
from hanzoai.cloud import ApiClient, Configuration
from hanzoai.cloud.api import ProvisioningApi

client = ApiClient(Configuration(access_token=os.environ["HANZO_API_KEY"]))
result = ProvisioningApi(client).post_provisioning_vector(instance="<instance>", name="<name>")
```

**.go**

```go
cfg := hanzoai.NewConfiguration()
cfg.AddDefaultHeader("Authorization", "Bearer "+os.Getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"))
client := hanzoai.NewAPIClient(cfg)

resp, _, err := client.ProvisioningAPI.PostProvisioningVector(context.Background()).Execute()
if err != nil {
	return err
}
```

**.rs**

```rust
use hanzo_client::apis::{configuration::Configuration, provisioning_api};

let mut cfg = Configuration::new();
cfg.bearer_access_token = std::env::var("HANZO_API_KEY").ok();

let result = provisioning_api::post_provisioning_vector(&cfg, Default::default()).await?;
```

**.java**

```java
import ai.hanzo.cloud.ApiClient;
import ai.hanzo.cloud.api.ProvisioningApi;

ApiClient client = new ApiClient();
client.setBearerToken(System.getenv("HANZO_API_KEY"));

var result = new ProvisioningApi(client).postProvisioningVector();
```

**HTTP**

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/provisioning/vector \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "instance": "<instance>",
       "name": "<name>"
     }'
```

**MCP**

MCP reaches **provisioning** through the `provisioning` tool, which names its 28 operations with its own verbs — this one among them, under a name only MCP declares. `describe` explains any of them:

```bash
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
       "jsonrpc": "2.0",
       "id": 1,
       "method": "tools/call",
       "params": {
         "name": "describe",
         "arguments": {
           "op": "get_provisioning_datastore"
         }
       }
     }'
```
