Coolify MCP Server

by frizikk

🚀 Coolify MCP Server (coolify-mcp)

TypeScript Node Version License: MIT Model Context Protocol Coolify API Tools

A comprehensive, production-grade Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Coolify v4 self-hosted PaaS.

Connect AI coding assistants and agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Antigravity, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code) directly to your Coolify instance to orchestrate infrastructure, deploy applications, manage 8 types of databases, handle environment variables, and diagnose logs using natural language.


🌟 Why coolify-mcp?

  • 🌐 100% Full Coolify v4 API Coverage: 77 verified MCP tools covering Projects, Environments, Servers, Applications, Databases, Docker Compose Services, Deployments, Team Members, and SSH Keys.

  • 🔒 Read-Only Safety Guard: Enable --read-only (or COOLIFY_READ_ONLY=true) to let AI assistants audit, monitor, and troubleshoot without any mutating or destructive actions.

  • 🗄️ Universal Database Engine Support: Out-of-the-box creation and configuration for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, ClickHouse, Dragonfly, and KeyDB with engine-specific parameter normalization.

  • 📊 Dynamic MCP Resources: Native resources (coolify://overview, coolify://servers, coolify://applications, coolify://databases) for zero-token ambient context.

  • 💡 DevOps Prompt Templates: Pre-built prompt recipes (diagnose-application, infrastructure-audit, deployment-summary) for autonomous diagnostics and health checks.

  • 🐳 Docker & Stdio Transport Ready: Run as a standard Node CLI tool or inside isolated Docker containers with container-to-container network support.


🤖 AI Agent Setup Prompt (Copy & Paste)

If you are using an AI coding assistant (like Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, or Cline), simply copy and paste the prompt below into your assistant:

Please configure and set up the Coolify MCP server for me from https://github.com/frizikk/coolify-mcp.git.

Follow these steps:
1. Clone the repository:
   git clone https://github.com/frizikk/coolify-mcp.git
2. Install dependencies and build the server:
   cd coolify-mcp && pnpm install && pnpm build
3. Guide me to provide my Coolify instance URL (e.g. https://coolify.my-domain.com or http://localhost:8000) and API Bearer Token (generated in Coolify under Keys & Tokens / Settings -> API).
4. Add the `coolify` server configuration to my MCP client config (e.g., in Claude Desktop `claude_desktop_config.json`, Cursor `~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or Antigravity `~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json`).
5. Test the connection by calling `coolify_get_version` and `coolify_get_infrastructure_overview` to verify connection to my Coolify instance.
