What is the Coolify MCP Server?
Connect your Coolify instance to any AI agent and take full control of your self-hosting and private cloud workflows through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Server Monitoring — List self-hosted nodes and retrieve intricate networking parameters including IP properties and Docker swarm statuses
- Application Management — List all managed frontend/backend apps and fetch elaborate internal topology metrics like mapped GitHub branches and Traefik proxy paths
- Lifecycle Control — Start, stop, and restart applications natively, allowing you to recycle container states and apply configuration updates instantly
- Deployment Automation — Trigger raw build pipelines to fetch the latest commits, rebuild Nixpacks images, and roll out updated Docker versions
- Database Oversight — Manage PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis configurations and extrapolate internal connection strings for secure application linking
- Resource Navigation — asociating Project repositories to explicit application UUIDs required for downstream mutations and operational auditing
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Coolify Instance URL and API Token (found in Keys & Tokens > API Tokens)
- Start managing your self-hosted cloud from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Indie Hackers & Founders — manage your private cloud and deploy new versions without touching the dashboard
- DevOps Engineers — monitor server node health and application lifecycle states across multiple environments
- Full-stack Developers — trigger builds, restart containers, and retrieve database connection strings directly from the chat
- SysAdmins — audit Docker Swarm configurations and verify server connectivity through natural language
Built-in capabilities (10)
Examines mapped GitHub branches, automatic rollout toggles (push to deploy), and assigned Traefik reverse proxy FQDN paths. Fetch elaborate internal topology metrics for a given Application
Highly required when linking newly provisioned Web Apps to Backend Datastores. Extrapolate internal configuration arrays for a Database
Verifies IP properties, SSH connection validation statuses, and Docker executing ports resolving across the cluster. Get configuration schema mapped to a specific Coolify Server Node
Generates the crucial map associating Project repositories to explicit application UUIDs required for downstream mutations (like restarting and stopping). List all frontend/backend Applications actively managed by Coolify
Isolates database bounding boxes mapping to applications so you can properly retrieve Connection Strings and backup cadence timelines. List managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis configurations
Used to identify the raw physical endpoints running Docker swarms that host subsequent applications. List all self-hosted Server Nodes attached to Coolify
Ensures updated config `.env` variables injected via Coolify take effect immediately in runtime RAM. Bounce a Coolify application recycling its container states
Spin up containers mapped to a suspended Application UUID
Used precisely for pausing billing or restricting web perimeter ingress during a cyber incident directly via the Coolify dashboard API. Halt execution algorithms suspending the mapped Application
Performs `git fetch`, rebuilds Nixpacks images, caches dependencies, and rolls the updated Docker image out directly over the previous active application version. Trigger a raw build pipeline fetching the latest Git commit
Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Coolify 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 Coolify data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters 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 Coolify 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

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent trigger a new deployment for a Coolify application?
Yes. Use the 'trigger_deployment' tool with the application UUID. The agent will initiate a full build pipeline, fetching the latest commit and rolling out the updated version directly on your server.
How do I retrieve the internal connection string for a managed database?
Provide the database UUID to the 'get_database' tool. Your agent will extrapolate the internal network URI (e.g., for PostgreSQL or MySQL), allowing you to securely link your apps without external port exposure.
Can I restart an application to apply new environment variables?
Absolutely. Use the 'restart_application' tool. The agent will execute an overlapping bounce, destroying old instances and initializing fresh replicas with the latest configuration and environment variables.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
