About Fastly MCP Server
Connect your Fastly account to any AI agent and take full control of your edge cloud delivery and CDN configurations through natural conversation.
Cursor's Agent mode turns Fastly into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Fastly and it fetches, processes, and writes — all in a single agentic loop. 12 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.
What you can do
- Service Orchestration — Identify bounded underlying Edge Cloud Delivery mappings and extract CDN service IDs aggregating global payload instances natively
- Version Management — Enumerate strictly immutable configuration drafts and promover promoted versions seamlessly to distribute instant security patches
- Live Traffic Auditing — Target specific configuration identities evaluating precise Active Version pointers to validate which architectural instance controls live traffic today
- Edge Deployment — Deploy drafted VCL or Compute@Edge logic instantly to production by promoting Promoted Drafts to Active states synchronously
- Cache Purging — Vaporize the complete Surrogate Cache storing static endpoints globally by issuing absolute HTTP PURGE instructions via chat
- Backend & Origin Control — Locate physical upstream Origins (AWS/GCP) mapped inside configurations and verify port constraints shielding original load-balancers
- Domain Auditing — Extract precise FQDN apex domains terminated at the Fastly Edge to manage routing configurations for specific headers flawlessly
The Fastly MCP Server exposes 12 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Cursor in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.
