Quick Start

Claude Code CLI

claude mcp add coolify \
  --env COOLIFY_BASE_URL="https://coolify.example.com/api/v1" \
  --env COOLIFY_TOKEN="<token>" \
  -- npx -y @fndchagas/coolify-mcp

2. listEnvironments / createEnvironment → Get or create an environment
3. listServers / createServer         → Get or create a server
4. listPrivateKeys / createPrivateKey → Get or create SSH keys (if needed)
5. createPublicApplication            → Create the application

Logs are sanitized to remove sensitive data. Control with logMode:

  • safe (default): Redacts common secret patterns

  • strict: More aggressive redaction

  • raw: No redaction (requires COOLIFY_ALLOW_UNSAFE_LOGS=true)
