Why Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Fly.io Extended as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 28 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Fly.io Extended 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 Fly.io Extended 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 I start or stop a specific Fly Machine using this server?
Yes. You can use the start_machine and stop_machine tools by providing the app name and the specific Machine ID. You can also use suspend_machine for compatible workloads.
How do I create a new application in a specific organization?
Use the create_app tool. You will need to provide a unique app_name and the org_slug of the target organization where you want the app to be provisioned.
Is it possible to manage persistent storage volumes?
Absolutely. The server includes tools like create_volume, list_volumes, extend_volume, and delete_volume to handle the full lifecycle of your Fly Volumes.
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.
