### Fastly's API-First Approach
Fastly's API-first design philosophy means:
- **Everything is an API** - Every feature available in the Fastly UI is accessible via API
- **Programmatic Control** - Full control over services, configurations, and edge logic
- **Automation Ready** - Support for CI/CD workflows and infrastructure as code
- **Real-time Changes** - API changes propagate globally in seconds, not minutes or hours
## What Can I Do With Fastly API?
Fastly's [comprehensive API](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/api/) allows you to:
- **Manage CDN Services** - Create, configure, and deploy content delivery services
- **Control Caching** - Set up cache strategies and perform instant purges
- **Configure Security** - Manage WAF, DDoS protection, and TLS certificates
- **Monitor Performance** - Access real-time metrics and historical stats
- **Implement Edge Logic** - Deploy custom VCL or Compute@Edge applications
- **Automate Workflows** - Integrate with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure tools
### Your API Key Stays Safe!
The AI assistant never sees your Fastly API key. It talks to a local helper (FastlyMCP) which uses the key securely.
### What You Can Ask Your AI
With Fastly MCP configured, you can ask your AI assistant questions like:
| What You Want To Do | Example AI Request |
| ------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| List your services | "Show me all my Fastly services" |
| Get domain details | "What domains are configured for my e-commerce service?" |
| Purge cache | "Purge the cache for my product service" |
| Check traffic | "What's the traffic pattern for my main site over the last week?" |
| View configuration | "Show me the backend servers for my API service" |
| Check performance | "What's my current cache hit ratio?" |
### "What the traffic pattern my for services over the last week?"

### "List all my Fastly services and their domains."

### "Build an interactive preformance dashboard about my Fastly serivce."

## Getting Started
### Prerequisites
- A Fastly account and API key ([Get started with Fastly](https://www.fastly.com/signup/))
- An AI assistant that supports MCP (e.g., Claude, GPT with plugins)
- The Fastly CLI installed ([Installation Guide](https://www.fastly.com/documentation/reference/cli/))
### Connect Your AI Assistant
Configure your AI assistant with:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"fastly": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["path/to/fastly-mcp.mjs"],
"env": {
"FASTLY_API_KEY": "your_fastly_api_key"
}
}
}
}
```
## Advanced Operation Examples
| Task Goal | Example AI Request |
| :------------------------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Optimize service based on traffic | "Analyze the configuration for `[service_id/name]` and suggest optimizations based on its traffic profile, prioritizing low latency." |
| Configure for live video | "Configure `[service_id/name]` for optimal live video streaming following the best practices outlined in `[link_to_guide_or_doc]`." |
| Find config conflicts | "Identify potential configuration conflicts in `[service_id/name]` compared to standard e-commerce delivery patterns." |
| Optimize video chunk caching | "Optimize caching for `[service_id/name]` to handle 10-second video chunks efficiently, minimizing origin load." |
| Enhance WAF security | "Review the WAF rules for `[service_id/name]` and suggest stricter settings to mitigate potential SQL injection attacks." |
| Set up origin mTLS | "Set up Mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication between Fastly and the origin servers for `[service_id/name]`." |
| Implement A/B testing (Edge) | "Deploy a Compute@Edge function to `[service_id/name]` that performs A/B testing by routing 10% of users to backend `[backend_name]`." |
| Add dynamic image rewriting (VCL) | "Write and deploy VCL for `[service_id/name]` to dynamically rewrite image URLs based on the requesting device's user agent." |
| Troubleshoot 5xx errors | "Analyze logs for `[service_id/name]` from the past 24 hours to identify the root cause of the recent spike in 5xx errors." |

TDQS
A4.1/5.0
Scored across 2 tools
Disambiguation5/5
The two tools have completely distinct purposes: fastly_api handles direct API calls for service management, configuration, and data retrieval, while fastly_cli executes CLI commands for local project development and deployment. There is no overlap in functionality, making it clear when to use each tool.
Naming Consistency5/5
Both tools follow a consistent naming pattern with the prefix 'fastly_' followed by a descriptive suffix (_api, _cli). This clear and uniform naming scheme makes it easy to identify the tool's purpose at a glance.
Tool Count3/5
With only 2 tools, the server feels thin for covering Fastly's comprehensive CDN and edge computing platform. While the tools cover API interactions and CLI operations, many domain-specific actions (e.g., cache management, analytics, configuration updates) are deferred to generic API calls, which may require more agent effort to construct properly.
Completeness2/5
The tool set is severely incomplete for the Fastly domain. While fastly_api provides generic API access, there are no dedicated tools for common operations like purging cache, managing domains/backends, or retrieving statistics—forcing agents to manually construct API paths. The CLI tool helps with Compute@Edge but doesn't cover other Fastly services, leaving significant gaps in coverage.
