How to Use the Fly.io MCP in Windsurf

Q: How do I connect Fly.io to Windsurf for cloud management?

Add the server configuration to your mcpconfig.json file inside the .codeium/windsurf directory. Once saved, click refresh in the MCP panel to see your tools.

Q: Can Windsurf handle Fly.io deployments autonomously?

Yes. Windsurf chains tools like startmachine and getmachine to verify state after a deployment. You set the goal, and the agent executes the required steps.

Q: How does Windsurf handle app state on Fly.io?

The agent uses getapp to pull your global Anycast IPs and regional data. This gives you a clear picture of where your traffic is currently landing.

Use Windsurf to manage your Fly.io infrastructure directly. Scale machines, run remote commands, and check app state without leaving your IDE.

Perplexity

Autonomous machine scaling in Windsurf

Windsurf can trigger `create_machine` to handle sudden traffic spikes without manual intervention. It evaluates your current load and provisions compute capacity on the fly. This keeps your costs predictable while ensuring your services remain responsive. You define the target, and the agent handles the lifecycle of every microVM.

Direct remote execution for Windsurf agents

Run diagnostic commands like `ps aux` or `top` inside your production environment using `exec_machine`. It pulls output directly into your editor for immediate review. This bypasses the need for SSH keys or jump hosts. You get terminal-level visibility into your running containers while staying inside your development flow.

Persistent volume management for Windsurf

Attach and monitor hardware NVMe storage using `list_volumes` to keep your stateful services running correctly. Windsurf tracks these attachments to ensure data integrity during deployments. Check your volume status alongside your code to avoid configuration drift. It makes managing databases or persistent caches as simple as checking a file path.
