Report which Edgegap API this server talks to, its version, whether it is the local or hosted server, and the guardrails in force: read-only mode, application allowlist, max_duration ceiling, the agent deployment cap, the tag forced onto every deployment, and which tools support dry_run. Also says whether this session has a usable token and, if not, why and how to fix it. Call it first when unsure what this session is allowed to do, before anything billable, or when tool calls fail with a token problem. Makes no API call unless check_token is true, and never shows the token.

List the applications in the Edgegap organization. Start here before creating or deploying anything, so you reuse an existing application instead of making a duplicate. An "application" groups versions of one game server.

Create a new application to hold game server versions. Only call this after edgegap_list_apps confirms no suitable application exists. Creating an application does not deploy anything — follow with edgegap_create_app_version.

Set whether an application accepts new deployments. Turning it off stops new deployments of every version under it; running deployments keep running. Use it to pause an application without deleting anything.

List the versions under an application, with their container image, resources, ports (including whether TLS Upgrade is on, which browser/WebGL clients need for wss://) and whether a registry login is set for pulling the image. Use this to find the version name to deploy, to check a version is ready before deploying, or to copy the non-secret settings (image, resources, ports) of a working version when creating a new one. The registry login and secret env values are never readable: the API returns "This value is set and encrypted" for them, so get them from the dashboard's Container Registry page or the developer.

Read one version in full: image, resources, ports, max_duration, whether image caching (force_cache) and verify_image are on, restart policy, the Endpoint Storage its logs go to, and the names of its env vars (values are never shown). Use it before edgegap_update_app_version or edgegap_deploy to check what a version will do.

Register a container image as a deployable version of an application. The image must already be pushed to a registry that Edgegap can pull from (see edgegap_get_registry_credentials and edgegap_list_registry_tags). Resource units: 1024 cpu units = 1 vCPU; memory_mb must be at least 256 and at most double the cpu units. Set verify_image true on the first version so a bad image fails here rather than at deploy time. Refused, with nothing sent, for the "latest" or an empty docker tag (use a build ID so deployments are reproducible) and for a docker_image that also holds a registry host or tag. Env vars named like secrets (TOKEN, SECRET, PASSWORD, API_KEY…) are hidden in the dashboard. Images on registry.edgegap.com need no registry login: leave registry_username and registry_token out and the version gets the organization's own registry login (registry_profile "Edgegap"). When copying an existing version, copy only non-secret settings: the API returns "This value is set and encrypted" for its registry login and secret env values, and that placeholder is refused here.

Change settings on an existing version instead of creating a new one: point it at a new image tag, turn it on or off, change max_duration, set the registry login (the API cannot add registry_profile "Edgegap" to an existing version: create a new version for that), turn on image caching (force_cache: Edgegap pre-loads the image so deployments start faster), set the restart policy, or set the shutdown grace period. Only the fields you pass change. Deployments already running keep their old settings; new deployments get the new ones. Same refusals as edgegap_create_app_version: "latest" or empty tags, a docker_image holding a host or tag, and the API token in the registry login or env vars. ports and env REPLACE the version's whole list (per the API): read the current ones with edgegap_get_app_version and pass every port or variable to keep; secret env values are not readable, so get them from the developer. Refused, with nothing sent, for a registry login or env value equal to the API's "This value is set and encrypted" placeholder; leave the registry login out to keep it. cpu_units and memory_mb change together (both or neither); to try other resources for one deployment only, override them in edgegap_deploy instead.

List the cities Edgegap can deploy to. Pass application and version to see only the locations with capacity for that version right now. Use it to pick geo_coordinates for edgegap_deploy when you have no player IPs, or to tell a developer where their players can be served from. For the ping beacons game clients use to measure latency, see edgegap_list_ping_beacons.

List Edgegap's ping beacons: one host per region that a game client can ping (UDP or TCP) to measure its latency before matchmaking. The matchmaker's latency rules use these measurements. Read-only; the game client does the pinging, not this tool.

Start one authoritative dedicated game server from an application version, placed near the players you specify. This is the recommended way to host a multiplayer match: the server owns the game state, so no player hosts it. Returns immediately with a request_id; the server is still starting and has no connection details yet. Follow this call with edgegap_wait_for_deployment to get the address players connect to. Always stop deployments you started for testing. Every deployment is tagged "edgegap-mcp" in addition to any tags you pass, so edgegap_list_deployments with only_agent_deployments: true finds them all. Runs until stopped or until the version's max_duration, which the result reports. Refused, with nothing sent, if the API token appears in an env var or tag, if the version uses the "latest" docker tag, or when too many agent deployments are already running (EDGEGAP_MAX_AGENT_DEPLOYMENTS, default 5): stop finished ones first. Also refused when the version's max_duration is unlimited or above EDGEGAP_MAX_DURATION_MINUTES, unless allow_long_running is true (ask the developer first), and on the local server after EDGEGAP_MAX_DEPLOYS_PER_RUN deploys (default 20). Env vars named like secrets are hidden in the dashboard. Optional: webhooks Edgegap calls when the server is ready, errors or ends (instead of polling), require_cached_locations for faster starts, and private_host_ids to place it on your private fleet first.

Read the current status of one deployment, including connection address and ports once it is ready. For a deployment you just created, prefer edgegap_wait_for_deployment — it polls for you instead of making you call this in a loop.

Poll a deployment until it is ready, errors, or the timeout expires, then return the connection details. This is the tool to call right after edgegap_deploy. Do not build your own polling loop — this handles backoff and reports the container error detail if the server fails to start.

List active deployments, optionally filtered and sorted. Use this to find deployments left running from earlier sessions before starting new ones — orphaned servers cost money. Filter by status, application, version, tags, request_id, created_at, fleet_name or host_name, e.g. [{field:"application",operator:"eq",value:"my-game"},{field:"status",operator:"eq",value:"ready"}]. Operators: eq and neq on every field except created_at (eq, gte, lte); in and nin with an array value on request_id, tags, application, version, fleet_name, host_name; ilike with % wildcards on fleet_name and host_name. At most one filter per field. Sort by created_at or available_session_sockets. To find every deployment an agent started through this server, pass only_agent_deployments: true (the same as filtering tags in ["edgegap-mcp", "mcp"]).

Gracefully stop one deployment by request_id, sending SIGTERM to the container. Stop every deployment you started for testing before ending your task. This tool stops exactly one deployment, named by its exact request_id: empty IDs, wildcards and lists are refused, and bulk stop is deliberately not exposed.

Retrieve stdout/stderr and crash output for a deployment. Call this whenever a deployment errors or a server exits unexpectedly — the crash exit code usually identifies the problem faster than redeploying does. Logs for stopped deployments are only retained if Endpoint Storage was configured on the version beforehand.

Summarise a deployment's resource use over time: CPU, CPU throttling, memory and network, each as latest, average and peak, with the API's own labels. Use it to size a version (cpu_units, memory_mb) from a real match, or to check whether a crash was memory or CPU starvation before redeploying. Defaults to the whole life of the deployment.

Write a Dockerfile for this project's headless game server build, ready for Edgegap: linux/amd64 base, the build folder copied in, the binary made executable, the right headless flags (Unity -batchmode -nographics, Godot --headless), a non-root user where the engine needs it (Unreal refuses root), CRLF fixes for start scripts, and EXPOSE lines matching the ports. Call this when the project has no Dockerfile, before building anything. Look at the build output first so you can pass the real build folder, binary name and port; anything you omit is assumed and listed under assumptions, which you must confirm with the developer or the project files. Write the result to Dockerfile, then build. The output is checked against edgegap_validate_server_config before it is returned. Makes no API calls.

Check a game server Dockerfile and the ports/resources you intend to register against what Edgegap requires, BEFORE building and pushing. Catches the failures that otherwise only show up after a build, push, version and deploy: ARM or Windows images (Edgegap runs linux/amd64), Unreal running as root, missing Unity -batchmode -nographics, a server bound to localhost, EXPOSE ports that do not match the version ports, a protocol that does not match the netcode transport, the "latest" tag, and bad CPU/memory ratios. Pass the Dockerfile text (read it from disk first). If there is no Dockerfile yet, call edgegap_generate_dockerfile instead. Makes no API calls.

Get the push login for this organization's private Edgegap container registry (registry.edgegap.com) and the exact docker login, build and push commands for your image. Use this when the server image is not in a registry yet. Edgegap only hands these credentials to the quick-start token the Unity/Unreal plugins use; with a regular API token this tool cannot fetch them and instead returns the steps to copy them from the dashboard's Container Registry page — ask the developer for them then, do not retry. When it does return a token, it is registry-scoped (push/pull images in this project), not the org API token: pass it to docker login via --password-stdin, never as a command-line argument, and do not write it into files. Call edgegap_validate_server_config before building. Any other registry Edgegap can pull from (Docker Hub, GHCR, ECR, GitLab) works too: then skip this tool and pass that registry and its pull login to edgegap_create_app_version.

List the tags pushed for one image in this organization's Edgegap container registry, with push time and size. Call it after docker push to confirm the tag landed before edgegap_create_app_version, which otherwise fails later with an image-pull error. An image that was never pushed comes back as status "not_found" with no tags, not as an error. Only for registry.edgegap.com: images in Docker Hub, GHCR or another registry are not listed here.

Delete one tag, and the image it points to, from this organization's Edgegap container registry, to clean up old builds. Takes exactly one image name and one exact tag; wildcards, lists and "latest" are refused, and there is no bulk delete. A version that still uses the tag can no longer start deployments, so check edgegap_list_app_versions first. Cannot be undone.

Add tags to, or remove tags from, one running deployment, e.g. to mark the match it serves or that a test is done, so edgegap_list_deployments can filter on them. Tags are labels only: the game server does not see the change. The "edgegap-mcp" tag cannot be removed, since it is how agent deployments are found and cleaned up. Returns the tags now on the deployment.

Report a problem with one deployment to Edgegap (the API's "Report a Deployment", meant for a studio's moderation backend), with a short reason and optional key/value details. It does not stop the deployment. Use it only when the developer asks to report a deployment; for a crash, read edgegap_get_deployment_logs first.

Delete one version of an application, to clean up test versions. Exactly one exact version name; refused while any deployment of that version is running. The container image stays in the registry (edgegap_delete_registry_tag removes it). Cannot be undone, so confirm with the developer when the version is not one this conversation created.

Delete one application and every version under it, to clean up a test application. Exactly one exact name; refused while any of its deployments is running, and refused when it has more versions than max_versions (default 0: delete its versions first with edgegap_delete_app_version, or raise max_versions after the developer agreed). Registry images are not touched. Cannot be undone.

List the hosts in one of the organization's private fleets (dedicated machines Edgegap manages for you), with status, IP and location. Only ACTIVE hosts accept deployments. Pass their host_id values to edgegap_deploy as private_host_ids to place a server on them first. Organizations without private fleets get an error from the API.

List the organization's Endpoint Storage: S3-compatible buckets Edgegap exports container logs to when a deployment ends (so logs survive the deployment), and the pull profiles under each, which copy files from the bucket into a container at boot. Secret keys are never returned. A version uses a storage for logs through edgegap_create_app_version / edgegap_update_app_version endpoint_storage, and a pull profile through edgegap_link_pull_profile.

Register an S3-compatible bucket (AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, DigitalOcean Spaces, ...) as Endpoint Storage, so container logs are exported there when deployments end. The developer supplies the bucket, endpoint URL and an access key pair scoped to that bucket; never invent or reuse other credentials, and never pass the Edgegap API token. The secret key is sent once and never echoed back. Then set endpoint_storage on the version (edgegap_update_app_version) to turn log export on.

Create a pull profile under an Endpoint Storage: at boot, Edgegap copies a file or folder from the bucket into the container (maps, configs, large assets kept out of the image). It does nothing until linked to a version with edgegap_link_pull_profile. Avoid destination paths the image already uses.

Link a pull profile to an application version, so its new deployments get the bucket files at boot, or unlink it (unlink: true). Running deployments are not changed.

Delete one pull profile from an Endpoint Storage, to clean up a test profile. Exactly one exact name. Every version linked to it stops getting its files at boot (the API cannot list those links, so ask the developer when the profile is not one this conversation created). The bucket and its files are not touched. Cannot be undone.

Delete one Endpoint Storage, to clean up a test one. Exactly one exact name; refused when it still has more pull profiles than max_pull_profiles (default 0: delete them first with edgegap_delete_pull_profile, or raise max_pull_profiles after the developer agreed). Versions that export logs to it stop doing so, so confirm with the developer when the storage is not one this conversation created. The bucket and the logs already in it are not touched. Cannot be undone.

A relay is NOT a game server and is not the recommended default — for a multiplayer match, deploy an authoritative dedicated server with edgegap_deploy instead. A relay only forwards traffic between players while one player's game acts as host and owns the game state: the host can cheat and has a latency advantage, the host's PC and connection cap the match, and the match ends if the host quits. Only use this when the developer has chosen peer-to-peer/host-client, or the netcode is already a listen server and a dedicated server is not an option; if that has not been established, ask first. Never pick it only because it needs no server image. Creates an Edgegap relay session for every player's public IP, host first, waits until it is ready, and returns the relay address plus per-player authorization tokens for the relay transport. Relay sessions are billed while open: delete test sessions with edgegap_delete_relay_session when finished.

Read one relay session: whether it is ready, the relay address and ports, and each authorized player with their authorization token. edgegap_create_relay_session already waits for readiness; use this to re-read a session or one created with wait_until_ready false.

List this organization's active relay sessions: id, status, readiness and player count. Relay sessions bill while open, so use this to find ones left over from earlier sessions and delete them with edgegap_delete_relay_session. Authorization tokens are not listed; read one session with edgegap_get_relay_session.

Authorize one more player (by public IP) on an existing relay session, for a player joining after the session was created. Returns that player's authorization token.

Revoke one player's access to a relay session, by that player's authorization token (from edgegap_get_relay_session or edgegap_authorize_relay_user). The player loses the relay connection; the session and the other players stay.

Close one relay session. Connected players lose their relay connection. Delete every session you created for testing before ending your task. Takes exactly one session_id; empty IDs, wildcards and lists are refused.

Generate a ready-to-upload Edgegap matchmaker JSON configuration with one profile: team count and size, optional latency rule, and optional expansions that relax the rules the longer a player waits. Checks the referenced application version exists and has ports. Edgegap has no API for creating a matchmaker, so this tool does NOT create one: save the returned config to a file (e.g. matchmaker-config.json) and have the developer upload it on the Matchmaker page of the dashboard. The matchmaker starts an authoritative dedicated server for each match, which is the recommended setup for multiplayer games.

List the Edgegap agent skills: tested, step-by-step workflows for getting a multiplayer game online on Edgegap, with templates (Dockerfiles, matchmaker configs, Unity C# and Unreal C++ drop-ins) and known pitfalls. Each entry says which engine, netcode or backend it is for, and the server instructions map projects to skills. Before working on a game project, load the matching skill with edgegap_get_skill; "edgegap" covers any other engine and routes to the rest. Also says whether a newer skills pack is on GitHub (reads one version number, no Edgegap API call).

Load one Edgegap agent skill: its SKILL.md (the workflow to follow) by default, or one of its reference documents or templates with file. Load the skill that matches the project before acting (the server instructions and edgegap_list_skills say which; "edgegap" when unsure), then fetch the references and templates it points to as you reach them. No API call.

Check whether the Edgegap agent skills installed in the developer's agent are the latest, and update them. Finds installs made with the skills CLI (user-wide or this project), the Claude Code plugin edgegap@edgegap, and skills copied by hand into an agent's skills folder, and compares each skill with the latest on GitHub. Without apply it only checks and changes nothing. With apply=true it rewrites hand-copied skills from the files bundled in this server, and runs each outdated install's own updater (npx skills@1.7.4 update for the Edgegap skills only, or claude plugin update) only when the operator started the server with EDGEGAP_ENABLE_SKILLS_UPDATE=1; otherwise it lists those commands for the developer to run. Ask the developer before applying. Skill text is never downloaded by this tool. The skills served by edgegap_get_skill need no update here.
