About Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server
Connect your Heroku account to any AI agent and take full control of your cloud-native application management and dyno orchestration through natural conversation.
Claude Code registers Heroku (PaaS) as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Heroku (PaaS) data drives decisions without human intervention.
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
The Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server exposes 10 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to Claude Code in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use Claude Code with the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server
Claude Code provides unique advantages when paired with Heroku (PaaS) through the Model Context Protocol.
Single-command setup: `claude mcp add` registers the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Heroku (PaaS) tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features
Heroku (PaaS) + Claude Code Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Claude Code combined with the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server delivers measurable value.
CI/CD integration: embed Heroku (PaaS) tool calls in your deployment pipeline to validate configurations or fetch secrets before shipping
Headless batch processing: schedule Claude Code to query Heroku (PaaS) nightly and generate reports without human intervention
Shell scripting: pipe Heroku (PaaS) outputs into other CLI tools for data transformation, filtering, and aggregation
Infrastructure monitoring: run Claude Code in a cron job to query Heroku (PaaS) status endpoints and alert on anomalies
Heroku (PaaS) MCP Tools for Claude Code (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Heroku (PaaS) to Claude Code via MCP:
create_app
Provision a fresh structural App container on Heroku
delete_app
Traffic routing instantly yields persistent 404/no web-dynos responses. Highly destructive. Permanently wipe an active App from Heroku servers
get_app_info
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
list_addons
Retrieve third-party Platform Add-ons mapping to an App
list_apps
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
list_config_vars
Retrieves highly confidential database tokens `DATABASE_URL`, SendGrid passwords, or OAuth keys. Dump decrypted Application Environment Variables
list_dynos
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
restart_all_dynos
Often resolves ephemeral memory-leaks in Node.js or Ruby runtimes stalling standard request processing. Hard reboot all containers tied to an entire Application
restart_specific_dyno
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)
toggle_maintenance_mode
Crucial for orchestrating complex sequential database migrations without encountering corrupted states from active sessions. Rapidly switch an Application's Maintenance Mode switch
Example Prompts for Heroku (PaaS) in Claude Code
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Claude Code agent to start working with Heroku (PaaS) immediately.
"List all my Heroku apps"
"Restart all dynos for 'production-api'"
"What's the current maintenance mode status for the 'staging-web' app?"
