# coolify-mcp

MCP server for managing Coolify instances (**v4.3+ API**). Control applications, databases, services, servers, and more directly from Claude or any MCP-compatible client.

**121 tools | 7 resources | 4 prompts**

Requires Coolify **v4.3.0** or newer (`/api/v1`); **v4.3.23 is recommended** and is the integration-test target for MCP **4.1.0**. New preview and instance-email features were verified on v4.3.23. Legacy GET-based state-changing endpoints are not supported.

See the [4.1.0 API audit](docs/api-audit-4.1.0.md) for pinned upstream sources, compatibility changes, and unreleased endpoints.

## Log Filtering

The `coolify_get_logs`, `coolify_get_application_preview_logs`, `coolify_get_database_logs`, and `coolify_get_service_logs` tools support:

- `level`: Minimum log level (debug, info, warn, error, fatal)
- `since`/`until`: ISO 8601 timestamps for time range
- `search`: Case-insensitive text search
- `lines`: Server lines to fetch (defaults to `limit`, up to 10000; `"all"` or `-1` fetches all)
- `show_timestamps`: Include server timestamps (default true)
- `limit`: Max filtered entries returned (default 100, max 1000)
- `tail`: Get most recent logs

## API Compatibility Notes for 4.1.0

- Storage creation/update no longer accepts `host_path`. Calls supplying it receive a migration error before contacting Coolify. Use a named `type: "persistent"` volume, or create `type: "file"` with `fs_path` and either `is_directory: true` or `is_host_file: true`. Existing mount sources cannot be changed through the update endpoint.
- `coolify_create_database_backup` now requires `frequency` and creates a schedule; set `backup_now: true` to also execute it immediately. The result includes the schedule UUID. Create/update support retention, S3 (`s3_storage_uuid`), timeout, and `missing_backup_notification_days` (0 disables alerts). The unsupported update fields `s3_storage_id` and `database_name_prefix` have been removed.
- Preview-domain updates replace the entire domain configuration. Supply exactly one of `domains` (regular app; `null` clears it) or `docker_compose_domains` (Compose app; `[]` clears it).
