Shared MCP Server for engineering teams

Commit your infrastructure tools to the repo via .vscode/mcp.json. Every developer on your team gets instant access to the same Fly.io commands. This ensures consistent operations across your entire engineering organization. No more fragmented setup scripts or manual API wrangling.

Automated deployment in VS Code Copilot

Use `create_app` to bootstrap new services directly from your editor. It automates the boilerplate setup that usually takes hours. Your team can query live status with `list_machines` to troubleshoot issues together. It turns your editor into a unified control plane.

Production-grade infrastructure monitoring

Monitor your certs and leases without leaving the code. Run `check_certificate` to verify your TLS status across all team-owned apps. Manage machine leases using `create_lease` and `release_lease` to prevent race conditions during deployments. It keeps your team synchronized.
