Setup
Install Coolify MCP in your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, and others).
Repository: https://github.com/frndchagas/coolify-mcp
Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.
Targets theCoolify v4.1.2API. Types and schemas are generated directly from Coolify's official OpenAPI spec, so tool inputs always match what the API actually accepts.
- Full Deployment Workflow: Create projects, environments, servers, and applications from scratch
- 5 Application Types: onecreateApplicationtool covers public git, GitHub App, Deploy Key, Dockerfile, and Docker Image sources — plus Docker Compose deployments viacreateService(since Coolify v4.1, compose deployments are services)
- Environment Management: Full CRUD for environment variables with secret masking
- Deployment Control: Deploy (optionally waiting for the terminal status, with a log tail on failure), start, stop, restart applications
- Diagnostics:diagnoseAppfinds an app by UUID, name, or domain and aggregates status, recent deployments, failure log tails, runtime logs, and suggested next actions
- Docs Search:searchDocsruns full-text search across the official Coolify documentation from a bundled local index — no network needed
- Security: Write protection, secret redaction, and MCP annotations (readOnlyHint/destructiveHint) so clients can auto-approve reads and gate destructive calls
- Near-full API coverage: databases (8 engines, backups, envs), services, storages, scheduled tasks, teams, previews, servers, SSH keys, and GitHub Apps
- Token-efficient: 65 tools whose definitions cost ~9k tokens of context, with strict runtime validation against schemas generated from Coolify's OpenAPI spec
- Node 18+
- A Coolify API token (Settings > API in your Coolify dashboard)
Claude Desktop, one-click:downloadcoolify-mcp.mcpbfrom the latest release and drag it intoSettings → Extensions. You'll be prompted for your Coolify URL and token — no Node install, no JSON editing.
npm install -g @fndchagas/coolify-mcp # or npx -y @fndchagas/coolify-mcp
claude mcp add coolify \ --env COOLIFY_BASE_URL="https://coolify.example.com/api/v1" \ --env COOLIFY_TOKEN="<token>" \ -- npx -y @fndchagas/coolify-mcp
codex mcp add coolify \ --env COOLIFY_BASE_URL="https://coolify.example.com/api/v1" \ --env COOLIFY_TOKEN="<token>" \ -- npx -y @fndchagas/coolify-mcp
[mcp_servers.coolify] command = "npx" args = ["-y", "@fndchagas/coolify-mcp"] env = { COOLIFY_BASE_URL = "https://coolify.example.com/api/v1", COOLIFY_TOKEN = "<token>" }
{ "mcpServers": { "coolify": { "type": "stdio", "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@fndchagas/coolify-mcp"], "env": { "COOLIFY_BASE_URL": "https://coolify.example.com/api/v1", "COOLIFY_TOKEN": "<token>", "COOLIFY_ALLOW_WRITE": "true" } } } }
With this MCP, you can deploy an application from scratch:
1. listProjects / createProject → Get or create a project 2. listEnvironments / createEnvironment → Get or create an environment 3. listServers / createServer → Get or create a server 4. listPrivateKeys / createPrivateKey → Get or create SSH keys (if needed) 5. createApplication (type: public) → Create the application 6. applicationEnvs (action: upsert) → Configure environment variables 7. deploy → Trigger deployment
Docker Compose deployments are created withcreateServicepassingdocker_compose_raw— since Coolify v4.1 they are services, not applications.
Database and service env vars have their own tools:databaseEnvsandserviceEnvs.
Storages, Scheduled Tasks & Previews
- Environment variable values are masked by default
- Database credentials are redacted
- UseshowSecrets: trueonly when necessary
The HTTP transport binds to127.0.0.1by default. To expose it beyond loopback, setMCP_HTTP_TOKEN— every request to/mcpmust then carryAuthorization: Bearer <token>(checked in constant time) — and the bind switches to0.0.0.0(override withMCP_HTTP_HOST). Binding to a non-loopback host without a token logs a loud warning: anyone who can reach the port controls your Coolify instance.
