About Coolify MCP Server
Connect your Coolify instance to any AI agent and take full control of your self-hosting and private cloud workflows through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Coolify as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Coolify data drives decisions without human intervention.
What you can do
- Server Monitoring — List self-hosted nodes and retrieve intricate networking parameters including IP properties and Docker swarm statuses
- Application Management — List all managed frontend/backend apps and fetch elaborate internal topology metrics like mapped GitHub branches and Traefik proxy paths
- Lifecycle Control — Start, stop, and restart applications natively, allowing you to recycle container states and apply configuration updates instantly
- Deployment Automation — Trigger raw build pipelines to fetch the latest commits, rebuild Nixpacks images, and roll out updated Docker versions
- Database Oversight — Manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis configurations and extrapolate internal connection strings for secure application linking
- Resource Navigation — asociating Project repositories to explicit application UUIDs required for downstream mutations and operational auditing
The Coolify MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Coolify MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Coolify through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Coolify tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Coolify + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Coolify MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Coolify tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Coolify nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Coolify outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Coolify status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Coolify MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Coolify to Claude Code via MCP:
get_application
Examines mapped GitHub branches, automatic rollout toggles (push to deploy), and assigned Traefik reverse proxy FQDN paths. Fetch elaborate internal topology metrics for a given Application
get_database
Highly required when linking newly provisioned Web Apps to Backend Datastores. Extrapolate internal configuration arrays for a Database
get_server
Verifies IP properties, SSH connection validation statuses, and Docker executing ports resolving across the cluster. Get configuration schema mapped to a specific Coolify Server Node
list_applications
Generates the crucial map associating Project repositories to explicit application UUIDs required for downstream mutations (like restarting and stopping). List all frontend/backend Applications actively managed by Coolify
list_databases
Isolates database bounding boxes mapping to applications so you can properly retrieve Connection Strings and backup cadence timelines. List managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis configurations
list_servers
Used to identify the raw physical endpoints running Docker swarms that host subsequent applications. List all self-hosted Server Nodes attached to Coolify
restart_application
Ensures updated config `.env` variables injected via Coolify take effect immediately in runtime RAM. Bounce a Coolify application recycling its container states
start_application
Spin up containers mapped to a suspended Application UUID
stop_application
Used precisely for pausing billing or restricting web perimeter ingress during a cyber incident directly via the Coolify dashboard API. Halt execution algorithms suspending the mapped Application
trigger_deployment
Performs `git fetch`, rebuilds Nixpacks images, caches dependencies, and rolls the updated Docker image out directly over the previous active application version. Trigger a raw build pipeline fetching the latest Git commit
