Inspect and roll out live Fastly configurations in Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop reads your live Fastly CDN setup using `list_services` and `get_service` to let you inspect active edge settings. Instead of bouncing between browser tabs, you ask your Claude Desktop agent to pull current CDN configurations straight into your chat interface. When you need to make a change active, the Claude Desktop agent triggers `activate_service_version` to deploy the target Fastly setup. You get instant confirmation of the CDN rollout without leaving your Claude Desktop workspace.

Debug Fastly backend origins and domains in Claude Desktop

This MCP Server exposes Fastly backend configurations directly to your local Claude Desktop workspace. Your Claude Desktop agent uses `list_version_backends` and `list_version_domains` to map out exactly where your traffic points for any specific Fastly configuration version. If a Fastly backend origin is misconfigured, you catch it before deployment inside the Claude Desktop chat. By comparing versions using `get_service_version`, your Claude Desktop agent keeps you from routing production traffic to a dead server.

Instant Fastly CDN cache clearing from Claude Desktop

Clear your Fastly edge cache instantly during debugging sessions in Claude Desktop. The `purge_all_cache` tool lets your Claude Desktop agent wipe the CDN clean right when you finish deploying a frontend update. You monitor the immediate impact of the purge using `get_service_stats` to track Fastly traffic recovery inside Claude Desktop. This direct feedback loop keeps you from guessing whether your static assets updated globally.
