## Prerequisites

- Node.js 18+ 
- A running Coolify Self-hosted instance
- Coolify API token with appropriate permissions

## Installation

1. **Clone or download this repository**
   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
   cd coolify-mcp-server
   ```

2. **Install dependencies**
   ```bash
   npm install
   ```

3. **Configure environment variables**
   ```bash
   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your Coolify instance details
   ```

4. **Build the project**
   ```bash
   npm run build
   ```

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

Create a `.env` file with the following variables:

```env
# Required: Your Coolify instance URL
COOLIFY_BASE_URL=https://your-coolify-instance.com

# Required: API token from Coolify
COOLIFY_API_TOKEN=your-api-token-here

# Optional: Team ID for scoped access
COOLIFY_TEAM_ID=your-team-id
```

### Getting Your API Token

1. Log into your Coolify dashboard
2. Go to **Settings** → **Keys & Tokens** → **API Tokens**
3. Click **Create New Token**
4. Choose permissions:
   - `read-only`: View data only
   - `read:sensitive`: View sensitive data
   - `*`: Full access (recommended for automation)
5. Copy the generated token to your `.env` file

⚠️ **Security Note**: API tokens are shown only once. Store them securely and never commit them to version control.

## Supported Coolify Versions

This MCP server is designed to work with:
- Coolify v4.x (Self-hosted)
- API version: v1

## Security Considerations

- **API Tokens**: Store API tokens securely using environment variables
- **Network Access**: Ensure your Coolify instance is accessible from where this MCP server runs
- **Permissions**: Use appropriate API token permissions based on your use case
- **HTTPS**: Always use HTTPS for production Coolify instances

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **Connection Failed**
   - Verify `COOLIFY_BASE_URL` is correct and accessible
   - Check that API token has proper permissions
   - Ensure Coolify instance is running

2. **Permission Denied**
   - Verify API token has sufficient permissions
   - Check if team ID is required for your setup

3. **Application Not Found**
   - Verify application ID is correct
   - Ensure you have access to the application

### Debug Mode

Enable debug logging by setting:
```bash
NODE_ENV=development npm run dev
```
