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.
Cline operates autonomously inside VS Code — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including Heroku (PaaS) tool calls without waiting for prompts between steps. Connect 10 tools through the Vinkius and Cline can fetch data, generate code, and commit changes in a single autonomous run.
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 Cline 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 Cline with the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server
Cline provides unique advantages when paired with Heroku (PaaS) through the Model Context Protocol.
Cline operates autonomously — it reads your codebase, plans a strategy, and executes multi-step tasks including MCP tool calls without step-by-step prompts
Runs inside VS Code, so you get MCP tool access alongside your existing extensions, terminal, and version control in a single window
Cline can create, edit, and delete files based on MCP tool responses, enabling end-to-end automation from data retrieval to code generation
Transparent execution: every tool call and file change is shown in Cline's activity log for full visibility and approval before committing
Heroku (PaaS) + Cline Use Cases
Practical scenarios where Cline combined with the Heroku (PaaS) MCP Server delivers measurable value.
Autonomous feature building: tell Cline to fetch data from Heroku (PaaS) and scaffold a complete module with types, handlers, and tests
Codebase refactoring: use Heroku (PaaS) tools to validate live data while Cline restructures your code to match updated schemas
Automated testing: Cline fetches real responses from Heroku (PaaS) and generates snapshot tests or mocks based on actual payloads
Incident response: query Heroku (PaaS) for real-time status and let Cline generate hotfix patches based on the findings
Heroku (PaaS) MCP Tools for Cline (10)
These 10 tools become available when you connect Heroku (PaaS) to Cline 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 Cline
Ready-to-use prompts you can give your Cline 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?"
