How do I use mcp-komodo?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcp-komodo list all servers in my account" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

MCP Komodo

MCP server for the Komodo DevOps platform. Manage servers, stacks, deployments, builds, and more through natural language in Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop.

Features

53 tools across 13 categories covering the complete Komodo DevOps API
Three access tiers (read-only, read-execute, full) for granular control
Category filtering via KOMODO_CATEGORIES to expose only the tools you need
Zero HTTP dependencies -- uses the official komodo_client SDK
Docker images for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 on GHCR
Remote MCP via HTTP transport (MCP_TRANSPORT=http) using the Streamable HTTP protocol
TypeScript/ESM with full type safety

API Compatibility

Built for Komodo 1.19.5.

Quick Start

Run the server directly with npx:

KOMODO_URL="https://komodo.example.com" \
KOMODO_API_KEY="your-api-key" \
KOMODO_API_SECRET="your-api-secret" \
npx -y @samik081/mcp-komodo

The server validates your Komodo connection on startup and fails immediately with a clear error if credentials are missing or invalid.

Docker

Run with Docker (stdio transport, same as npx):

docker run --rm -i \
  -e KOMODO_URL=https://komodo.example.com \
  -e KOMODO_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  -e KOMODO_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \
  ghcr.io/samik081/mcp-komodo

To run as a remote MCP server with HTTP transport:

docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
  -e MCP_TRANSPORT=http \
  -e KOMODO_URL=https://komodo.example.com \
  -e KOMODO_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  -e KOMODO_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \
  ghcr.io/samik081/mcp-komodo

The MCP endpoint is available at http://localhost:3000 and a health check at http://localhost:3000/health.

Configuration

Claude Code CLI (recommended):

# Using npx
claude mcp add --transport stdio komodo \
  --env KOMODO_URL=https://komodo.example.com \
  --env KOMODO_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  --env KOMODO_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \
  -- npx -y @samik081/mcp-komodo

# Using Docker
claude mcp add --transport stdio komodo \
  --env KOMODO_URL=https://komodo.example.com \
  --env KOMODO_API_KEY=your-api-key \
  --env KOMODO_API_SECRET=your-api-secret \
  -- docker run --rm -i ghcr.io/samik081/mcp-komodo

# Using remote HTTP (connect to a running Docker container or HTTP server)
claude mcp add --transport http komodo http://localhost:3000

JSON config (works with Claude Code .mcp.json, Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor .cursor/mcp.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "komodo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@samik081/mcp-komodo"],
      "env": {
        "KOMODO_URL": "https://komodo.example.com",
        "KOMODO_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "KOMODO_API_SECRET": "your-api-secret"
      }
    }
  }
}

Docker (stdio):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "komodo": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "--rm", "-i",
        "-e", "KOMODO_URL=https://komodo.example.com",
        "-e", "KOMODO_API_KEY=your-api-key",
        "-e", "KOMODO_API_SECRET=your-api-secret",
        "ghcr.io/samik081/mcp-komodo"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Remote MCP (connect to a running Docker container or HTTP server):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "komodo": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "http://localhost:3000"
    }
  }
}

Access Tiers

Control which tools are available using the KOMODO_ACCESS_TIER environment variable:

Tier	Tools	Description
`full` (default)	53	Read, execute, and write -- full control
`read-execute`	52	Read and execute -- no resource creation/deletion via write tool
`read-only`	36	Read only -- safe for exploration, no state changes

Tier details:

full: All 53 tools. Includes komodo_write_resource for creating, updating, and deleting Komodo resources.
read-execute: 52 tools. All read tools plus execute tools (deploy, pull, lifecycle, run, etc.). The komodo_write_resource tool is hidden.
read-only: 36 tools. List, get, logs, inspect, stats, summaries, and operation history only. All execute and write tools are hidden.

Tools that are not available in your tier are not registered with the MCP server. They will not appear in your AI tool's tool list, keeping the context clean.

Set KOMODO_ACCESS_TIER to read-only, read-execute, or full (default: full).

Available Categories

servers, stacks, deployments, containers, builds, repos, procedures, actions, builders, alerters, resource-syncs, updates, write

Tools

mcp-komodo provides 53 tools organized by category. Each tool's Access column shows the minimum tier required: read-only (available in all tiers), read-execute (requires read-execute or full), or full (requires full tier only). The Hints column shows tool behavior: read-only (no state changes), destructive (modifies existing state), idempotent (same result if called twice).

Verify It Works

After configuring your MCP client, ask your AI assistant:

"What servers are connected to Komodo?"

If the connection is working, the assistant will call komodo_list_servers and return your servers with their current state and region.

Usage Examples

Once configured, ask your AI tool questions in natural language:

"List all my servers and their status" -- calls komodo_list_servers to show every server with its current state and region.
"What's the CPU and memory usage on server prod-01?" -- calls komodo_get_server_stats to show real-time resource utilization.
"Show me the logs from the production stack" -- calls komodo_get_stack_log to retrieve recent log output from all services in the stack.
"Deploy the frontend stack" -- calls komodo_deploy_stack to redeploy the stack with its current configuration.
"Why did the frontend stack deploy fail?" -- calls komodo_list_updates to find the failed deploy, then komodo_get_update to show the full logs with stdout/stderr.
"Pull the latest images for the monitoring stack" -- calls komodo_pull_stack to download updated images without redeploying.
"Create a new deployment called api-staging with image myapp:latest" -- calls komodo_write_resource to create a new Deployment resource in Komodo.

Troubleshooting

Connection refused

Check that KOMODO_URL is correct and that Komodo Core is reachable from where the MCP server is running. The server validates the connection on startup, so if it started successfully, the URL was valid at that time.

Invalid credentials / 401 Unauthorized

Verify your API key and secret are correct. Check that the key has not been revoked or expired in the Komodo UI under Settings > API Keys.

Tools not showing up

Check your access tier setting. In read-only mode, only 36 tools are registered. In read-execute mode, 52 tools are registered. Use full (or omit KOMODO_ACCESS_TIER) for all 53 tools. Check KOMODO_CATEGORIES -- only tools in listed categories are registered. Also verify the server started without errors by checking stderr output.
