OfficialServer Configuration
Describes the environment variables required to run the server.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| LIZARD_TOKEN | No | Lizard API key (liz_...). Needed to call tools; create one with `lizard keys create`. The server starts and lists its tools without it. |
Instructions
Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.
This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| workspace_createA | Create a new workspace when the user asks for one. Check workspace_list first. Each call creates another workspace; retries do not reuse the first one. |
| project_deleteA | Delete a project when its owner explicitly asks. Stops its services and moves the project to trash for three days. Requires the user's confirmation; do not call this to delete only one service. |
| project_pauseA | Use this when the user wants to stop every service of a Lizard project without deleting anything: each app and database scales to 0, keeping its URL, host, port, password, settings and volumes. Returns what was paused and what was skipped, with why. Undo with project_resume. |
| workspace_pauseA | Use this when the workspace owner wants to stop every service in every project of a workspace without deleting anything (same as project_pause for each project). Owner only. Undo with workspace_resume. |
| project_resumeA | Use this when the user wants to start again the services of a Lizard project that they paused. Services paused by a billing freeze stay paused until the account is paid. Returns what was resumed and what was skipped, with why. |
| workspace_resumeA | Use this when the workspace owner wants to start again everything they paused in a workspace. Owner only. Returns what was resumed and what was skipped, with why. |
| whoamiA | Use this when you need to identify the currently authenticated Lizard user, e.g. before asking which workspace or project to act on. |
| workspace_listA | Use this when the user wants to see which Lizard workspaces they belong to, or needs a workspace ID to scope a project lookup. |
| project_listA | Use this when the user wants to see their Lizard projects, optionally filtered to one workspace. |
| project_createA | Use this when the user wants to create a brand-new empty Lizard project to hold services. Calling this again creates another project, even with the same name — it does not update an existing one. |
| region_listA | Use this when the user needs to know which deployment regions are available before creating a service or addon. |
| service_listA | Use this when the user wants to see all apps and addons in a Lizard project. |
| service_showA | Use this when the user wants details about a single Lizard service (app or addon) — status, config, resource limits. |
| service_createA | Use this when the user wants to create a new empty Lizard service, or deploy a GitHub repository as a new service. Omit repoUrl for an empty service you configure later; provide repoUrl to deploy that repo immediately. Calling this again creates another service, even with the same name — it does not update an existing one. A *.onlizard.com domain is assigned automatically, but not until the build finishes and the service boots — this response's |
| addon_createA | Use this when the user wants to provision a managed database or storage addon (Postgres, Redis, or S3) in a Lizard project. Calling this again creates another addon, even with the same name — it does not update an existing one. |
| service_renameB | Use this when the user wants to rename an existing Lizard service. |
| service_deleteA | Use this when the user wants to permanently delete a Lizard service (app or addon). This is destructive and cannot be undone — requires explicit confirmation. |
| service_pauseA | Use this when the user wants to stop a Lizard service (app or database) without deleting it: it scales to 0, its URL answers 503 and a database refuses connections. Its URL, database host, port, password, settings and volumes are all kept, and nothing is billed for compute while paused. Undo with service_resume. |
| service_resumeA | Use this when the user wants to start a paused Lizard service (app or database) again. It comes back from the same image with the same URL, host, port, password, settings and data. Pausing or resuming one that already is does nothing. |
| service_sleep_statusA | Use this when the user asks whether a Lizard service (app or Postgres/Redis database) is serverless, i.e. sleeps when idle: returns enabled, idleMinutes, how many times it slept and woke, and the last error if it could not sleep. |
| service_sleep_setA | Use this when the user wants a Lizard service to be serverless (sleep when idle) or always on. On: with no traffic for idleMinutes (5-1440, default 15) it sleeps with its memory saved, costs almost nothing, and the next request or connection wakes it in about a second. Turning it on restarts the service once. Works for apps with one replica and a port, and for Postgres/Redis databases; the error says why otherwise. |
| service_scaleA | Use this when the user wants to change replica count, CPU, memory, or storage limits for a Lizard service. |
| service_get_portA | Use this when the user wants to know which container port a Lizard app is listening on. |
| service_set_portA | Use this when the user wants to change the container port a Lizard app listens on. |
| service_setB | Use this when the user wants to change a Lizard service's build/deploy configuration — source repo, branch, build command, start command, etc. |
| deploy_redeployA | Use this when the user wants to trigger a new deployment of an existing Lizard service (rebuild and redeploy current source). Returns immediately once the build is triggered — use deploy_events to check progress. Each call starts another build, even if called again immediately. |
| deploy_restartA | Use this when the user wants to restart a running Lizard service without rebuilding it. Returns immediately. Each call restarts it again, even if called again immediately. |
| deploy_eventsA | Use this when the user wants to see recent deploy/build history and current replica status for a Lizard service. |
| logs_tailA | Use this when the user wants to see recent log output from a Lizard service or a specific build. Returns a bounded snapshot, not a live stream. |
| metrics_getA | Use this when the user wants CPU, memory, or network metrics for a Lizard app or addon over a time range. |
| billing_statusA | Use this when a tool fails with PAYMENT_REQUIRED, or the user asks about their plan, trial or bill. Returns the account's plan (none, pro, payg = old prepaid credits until November 1, 2026, enterprise), the Pro status (trialing, active, past_due, canceled), trial days and trial credits left, this month's credits used of the included $19 and the overage, the next charge, a pending cancel, an unpaid invoice link, and billingUrl. Pro is $19/month, taxes included, with $19 of credits each month. Starting Pro, paying and cancelling happen in the browser at billingUrl; give the user the link. With workspaceId, reads that workspace owner's plan. |
| billing_summaryA | Use this when the user wants a cost/billing summary for a Lizard workspace, including current usage and live spend. |
| secrets_listA | Use this when the user wants to see environment variables/secrets configured for a Lizard service or project. Values are masked by default; pass reveal:true to see actual values. |
| secrets_setA | Use this when the user wants to set one or more environment variables/secrets on a Lizard service or project. Overwrites existing values with the same key. |
| secrets_deleteA | Use this when the user wants to remove one or more environment variables/secrets from a Lizard service or project. This is destructive and cannot be undone — requires explicit confirmation. |
| secrets_refsA | Use this when the user wants to see the available reference-variable templates (like postgres connection strings) they can inject into another service's secrets. |
| domain_attachA | Every app already gets a *.onlizard.com domain automatically on its first deploy (check service_show's |
| domain_verifyA | Use this when the user wants to verify DNS configuration for a custom domain attached to a Lizard service. |
| domain_deleteA | Use this when the user wants to remove a custom domain from a Lizard service. This is destructive and requires explicit confirmation. |
| volume_listA | Use this when the user wants to see the persistent sandbox volumes in a Lizard project — name, id, size (sizeGb), status, region, how much is used (lastUsedBytes), and which sandbox it is attached to (attachedSandboxId), if any. |
| volume_resizeA | Use this when the user wants to grow or shrink a persistent sandbox volume. The resize happens in place and online: the size is a filesystem quota, no data is copied, it completes in well under a second, and an attached sandbox keeps running. Both growing and shrinking are allowed, but a shrink must leave at least 10% of the new size free — check lastUsedBytes in volume_list first and pick a size comfortably above it. Calling again with the current size is a no-op. Allowed sizes are per-project (minSizeGb/maxSizeGb from GET /api/projects/:projectId/volume-limits); the server rejects anything outside that range with invalid_volume_size, so do not assume a maximum. Returns the updated volume plus sizeEnforced (whether the quota is actually enforced on the backing storage). Error codes: invalid_volume_size, volume_not_resizable, volume_too_full_to_shrink (choose a larger size), volume_resize_in_progress (retry shortly), volume_not_provisioned, volume_capacity_unavailable (not enough room on the node to grow), volume_resize_timeout (size was left unchanged; safe to retry). |
| git_checkoutA | Use this when the user wants to switch which branch a Lizard service deploys from, and redeploy it on that branch. Returns immediately once the redeploy is triggered. Each call starts another build, even if called again immediately. |
| git_statusA | Use this when the user wants to see GitHub connection status and the repo/branch each service in a Lizard project is tracking. |
| git_connectA | Use this when the user wants to connect their GitHub account to Lizard. Returns an install URL the user must open in a browser themselves — this cannot complete automatically. |
| ssh_execA | Use this when the user wants to run a one-off shell command inside a running Lizard service's container and see its output. Waits for the command to finish. This executes arbitrary code in the user's own infrastructure on their behalf — requires explicit confirmation. |
| config_applyA | Use this when the user wants to apply a bulk, config-as-code style configuration to a Lizard project in one request (multiple services/addons/secrets at once), rather than changing one field at a time. The config body is passed through verbatim and can overwrite or remove existing fields — prefer the narrower service./secrets. tools for single-field changes. |
| template_listA | Find published app templates to deploy. Set mine to list your own templates, including private ones. Use template_show to inspect required variables before deploying. |
| template_showA | Read a template's services, addons and required variables before deployment. Pass the ID or slug returned by template_list. |
| template_deployA | Deploy a template as a new project in the chosen workspace. Read template_show first and supply required placeholderValues. Each call creates another project and may incur charges. Do not retry a partial failure blindly: inspect the returned project first. |
| sandbox_listB | List Lizard Sandboxes in an explicit project. Use the returned IDs with sandbox tools; these resources are separate from app services. |
| sandbox_showA | Read a sandbox's status, project, template, and expiry. The platform checks the current user's access to this ID. |
| sandbox_createA | Create an ephemeral interpreter sandbox in an explicit project. Uses billed cloud resources and returns its ID. The default lifetime is 5 minutes; expiry deletes its files. No host files, environment variables, or API key are copied into it. Get the user's approval before creating it; do not retry an uncertain response blindly. |
| sandbox_execA | Run a shell command inside an existing sandbox, as root. Requires the user's approval. Cancellation, timeout, or a failed command request destroys the whole sandbox and all its files to stop remote code. A nonzero command exit code preserves it. Use an ephemeral sandbox created for this task. Output is capped at 64 KiB per stream; do not blindly retry a failed command. |
| sandbox_read_fileA | Read up to 64 KiB of UTF-8 text from a sandbox. Relative paths start at /workspace. Paths refer to the remote sandbox, never the MCP server's files. |
| sandbox_write_fileA | Write up to 64 KiB of UTF-8 text to a sandbox, replacing an existing file. Requires the user's approval. Relative paths start at /workspace. Does not write to the MCP server's filesystem. |
| sandbox_deleteA | Permanently destroy one sandbox and all its files. Get the user's approval before calling. Use this to clean up a sandbox created for a task. Does not delete its project or any app services. |

TDQS
Scored across 56 tools
Tool purposes are mostly distinct, with clear resource/action prefixes such as service_pause vs project_pause vs workspace_pause, and deploy_redeploy vs deploy_restart. A few boundaries are softer — service_set vs service_scale vs service_set_port/config_apply, billing_status vs billing_summary, and sandbox_exec vs ssh_exec — but the detailed descriptions help differentiate them.
Names consistently use snake_case and a resource_action pattern, making the set predictable. Minor deviations like whoami, billing_summary/billing_status, and service_sleep_status/service_sleep_set break the verb-action pattern slightly but remain readable and coherent.
56 tools is excessive for a single MCP server; many granular operations (service_get_port, service_set_port, service_sleep_status, service_sleep_set) could be folded into broader tools. While the platform is broad, the count far exceeds typical coherence thresholds (3–15) and makes discovery and selection costly.
Core lifecycle coverage is strong for services, secrets, domains, deploys, sandboxes, and templates, with config_apply filling bulk-operation gaps. Minor gaps remain — e.g., no workspace_delete, no explicit volume_create/delete/attach, and limited addon-specific update tools — but agents can likely work around them.
