How to Use the Coolify MCP in Cursor

Q: Can I deploy to Coolify directly from the Cursor chat?

Yes. Ask the Cursor agent to deploy, and it calls triggerdeployment to run the Nixpacks build pipeline on your server.

Q: How does Cursor know which Coolify application to target?

Cursor runs listapplications to match your current workspace directory with the UUID of your remote container.

Q: Can I inspect Coolify server health before running a build in Cursor?

Yes. The agent uses getserver to verify the IP, SSH connection, and active Docker ports on your host machine.

Write code and trigger immediate Coolify deployments directly inside Cursor using live container data.

Perplexity

Sync environment variables and restart containers

`restart_application` recycles the container states to force newly injected env variables to take effect in RAM. Cursor triggers this tool after you edit your configuration files in the editor. That's how you ensure your runtime environment matches your local code changes without opening a browser tab.

Map project repositories in your editor

`list_applications` matches your local project repositories to their explicit application UUIDs in Coolify. Our MCP Server matches your local project repositories to their explicit application UUIDs in Coolify. Once mapped, `get_application` examines the active GitHub branches, automatic rollout toggles, and assigned Traefik reverse proxy FQDN paths.

Link databases using the Cursor MCP Server setup

`get_database` extracts the internal configuration arrays for your PostgreSQL, MySQL, or Redis instances. Cursor reads this data to generate database schemas and connection code. It's the easiest way to avoid hardcoding errors, since you're pulling the actual connection strings in real-time.

Setup guide

Set up Coolify MCP in Cursor

Prerequisites

Cursor installed (macOS, Windows, or Linux)
Active Vinkius subscription with a valid endpoint token

1

Open MCP Settings

Go to Cursor Settings → MCP or open the Command Palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for "MCP: Add Server".
2

Add the Coolify MCP

Cursor will create or open .cursor/mcp.json in your project root. Paste the JSON snippet on the right. Replace [YOUR_TOKEN_HERE] with your endpoint token from cloud.vinkius.com.
3

Enable Agent mode

Open Composer (Cmd+I / Ctrl+I) and switch to Agent mode using the dropdown at the top. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode.
4

Verify the connection

Ask Cursor something like "List my recent Coolify transactions." If the MCP tools are loaded correctly, Cursor will call the Coolify tools automatically. You can also check Settings → MCP for a green status indicator.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coolify-mcp": {
      "url": "https://edge.vinkius.com/[YOUR_TOKEN_HERE]/mcp"
    }
