Ask AI about this MCP Server
Vinkius supports streamable HTTP and SSE.
* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
What is the Heroku MCP Server?
The Heroku MCP Server gives AI agents like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor direct access to Heroku via 10 tools. Manage Heroku apps via AI — list apps, restart dynos, toggle maintenance mode, and audit config vars. Powered by the Vinkius - no API keys, no infrastructure, connect in under 2 minutes.

Tools for your AI Agents to operate Heroku
Ask your AI agent "List all my Heroku apps" and get the answer without opening a single dashboard. With 10 tools connected to real Heroku data, your agents reason over live information, cross-reference it with other MCP servers, and deliver insights you would spend hours assembling manually.
Works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client. Powered by the Vinkius - your credentials never touch the AI model, every request is auditable. Connect in under two minutes.
Why teams choose Vinkius
One subscription gives you access to thousands of MCP servers - and you can deploy your own to the Vinkius Edge. Your AI agents only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure and security, zero maintenance.

Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server capabilities
10 toolsProvision a fresh structural App container on Heroku
Traffic routing instantly yields persistent 404/no web-dynos responses. Highly destructive. Permanently wipe an active App from Heroku servers
g. heroku-22, heroku-24). Confirms exact application routing URL mapping, total slug (code) size in memory, and regional datacenter placements (US or EU) verifying global latency strategies. Fetch intricate runtime constraints and framework details of an App
Retrieve third-party Platform Add-ons mapping to an App
Use this to discover App IDs, web URL designations, and git repository targets required to execute operational commands downstream. List all standard applications actively hosted on Heroku PaaS
Retrieves highly confidential database tokens `DATABASE_URL`, SendGrid passwords, or OAuth keys. Dump decrypted Application Environment Variables
1, worker.1). Tracks exactly whether the dyno is "up", "crashed", "idle", or "starting" based on the internal slug runner engine's telemetry. List discrete containerized Dynos executing inside an App
Often resolves ephemeral memory-leaks in Node.js or Ruby runtimes stalling standard request processing. Hard reboot all containers tied to an entire Application
Exceedingly useful for unsticking hung asynchronous queue workers without impacting active web traffic on the primary frontend replicas. Selectively reboot one isolated Dyno instance (e.g. worker.2)
Crucial for orchestrating complex sequential database migrations without encountering corrupted states from active sessions. Rapidly switch an Application's Maintenance Mode switch
What the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server unlocks
Connect your Heroku account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud-native application management and dyno orchestration through natural conversation.
What you can do
- App Management — List all hosted applications, create new deployment boundaries, and fetch intricate runtime constraints and framework details directly from your agent
- Dyno Orchestration — List individual containerized dynos, track their status (up, crashed, idle), and selectively reboot specific instances or entire clusters
- Environment & Config — Audit decrypted application environment variables (Config Vars) and retrieve third-party platform add-ons like Postgres or Redis
- Operational Control — Rapidly toggle maintenance mode to block inbound requests during migrations and perform hard reboots on stalled application clusters
- Infrastructure Audit — Identify underlying executing stacks (e.g. heroku-24), regional datacenter placements (US/EU), and total slug size in memory
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Heroku API Key
3. Start managing your cloud infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — monitor dyno health and perform rolling restarts or cluster reboots through natural conversation
- Backend Developers — check environment variables, add-on statuses, and deployment regions without leaving your IDE or switching to the dashboard
- System Admins — manage maintenance windows and application lifecycles across multiple environments and regions efficiently
Frequently asked questions about the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server
Can I see the status of my dynos through my agent?
Yes. Use the list_dynos tool to see the real-time status of each container process (e.g. web.1, worker.1). You'll know exactly if a dyno is up, crashed, starting, or idle.
How do I check my application's environment variables?
The list_config_vars tool allows your agent to dump the full dictionary of environment variables injected into your dynos, including sensitive keys like DATABASE_URL or API tokens.
Can my agent restart a specific hung worker without affecting the web traffic?
Absolutely. Use the restart_specific_dyno tool to reboot a single instance (e.g. worker.2). This is perfect for unsticking hung asynchronous queue workers without impacting your primary frontend traffic.
