Coolify MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing full coverage of the Coolify v4.3.1 REST API. Manage applications, databases, services, servers, deployments, and more — all from any MCP-compatible AI client.

Compatibility: Coolify v4.x. API base: https://<your-coolify-instance>/api/v1

Coolify v4.2.0 made state-changing endpoints POST-only; the former GET routes now return This endpoint has changed to a POST request. This server issues POST for all of them. Lifecycle and deploy operations remain compatible with earlier v4.x releases, which accepted both methods. Three tools — enable_api, disable_api and validate_server — call endpoints that were GET-only before v4.2.0 and so require Coolify v4.2.0 or newer.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher

• A running Coolify v4 instance (v4.2.0+ for the three tools noted above)

• A Coolify API token (from Security → API Tokens in the dashboard)
