About Fly.io Alternative MCP Server
Connect your Fly.io account to any AI agent and take full control of your edge compute infrastructure through natural conversation.
LlamaIndex agents combine Fly.io Alternative tool responses with indexed documents for comprehensive, grounded answers. Connect 13 tools through Vinkius and query live data alongside vector stores and SQL databases in a single turn. ideal for hybrid search, data enrichment, and analytical workflows.
What you can do
- App Management — List all apps and retrieve their configuration details including regions, status and organization
- Machine Lifecycle — Create, start, stop, restart, update and delete machines (VMs) with full control over CPU, memory, region and image
- Machine Inspection — View machine state, configuration, services, health checks and IP addresses
- Persistent Volumes — List and create persistent storage volumes that survive machine restarts and redeployments
- Certificate Management — Review TLS/SSL certificates and their issuance status for app domains
- Global Deployment — Deploy machines across Fly.io's global regions (iad, sjc, nrt, fra, syd, etc.) for low-latency access
The Fly.io Alternative MCP Server exposes 13 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to LlamaIndex in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Fly.io Alternative MCP Tools for LlamaIndex (13)
These 13 tools become available when you connect Fly.io Alternative to LlamaIndex via MCP:
create_machine
io app. Requires the Docker image reference (e.g. "registry.fly.io/myapp:latest"). Optionally set the region (e.g. "iad", "sjc", "nrt"), CPU cores (1-16), memory in MB (256-8192), guest CPU kind (shared, performance) and services config. Machines start in stopped state — use start_machine after creation. Create a new machine in a Fly.io app
create_volume
Requires the volume name and size in gigabytes. Optionally set the region. The volume must be attached to a machine via the machine config mounts. Create a persistent volume for a Fly.io app
delete_machine
The machine cannot be recovered. Optionally set force=true to delete even if the machine has an attached volume. Provide the app_name and machine_id. WARNING: this action is irreversible. Delete a Fly.io machine permanently
get_app
io app including its name, status, regions, organization and network configuration. Provide the app name (not ID). Get details for a specific Fly.io app
get_machine
Provide both the app_name and machine_id. Get details for a specific Fly.io machine
list_apps
io account. Each app is a collection of machines (VMs) running your code across Fly.io's global edge network. Returns app name, status, region and creation date. Use the app name for all subsequent machine, volume and certificate operations. List all Fly.io apps
list_certificates
io app. Each certificate has a hostname, status (issued, pending, failed) and source (lets_encrypt, self_signed, acme). Use this to audit HTTPS certificate status for your app's domains. List TLS/SSL certificates for a Fly.io app
list_machines
io app. Each machine has an ID, name, state (started, stopped, created, destroyed), region, image reference, CPU/memory config and IP addresses. Machines are the fundamental compute units on Fly.io. List machines (VMs) for a Fly.io app
list_volumes
io app. Each volume has an ID, name, state, size in GB, region and the machine it is attached to. Volumes provide persistent storage that survives machine restarts. List persistent volumes for a Fly.io app
restart_machine
Useful for applying configuration changes or recovering from issues. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Restart a Fly.io machine
start_machine
The machine will boot and begin running its configured image. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Start a stopped Fly.io machine
stop_machine
The machine will stop and release its compute resources but retains its configuration and data. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Stop a running Fly.io machine
update_machine
You can modify the Docker image, CPU/memory allocation, services config, mounts and more. Provide the app_name, machine_id and a JSON body with the fields to update. Update a Fly.io machine configuration
Example Prompts for Fly.io Alternative in LlamaIndex
