What is the Fly.io MCP Server?
Connect your Fly.io account to any AI agent and take full control of your edge computing and container orchestration through natural conversation.
What you can do
- App Space Orchestration — List logical parent containers (Apps) spanning the Fly Edge network, identifying anycast assignments and dedicated IPv4/IPv6 IPs natively
- Machine Runtime Management — Navigate and control individual MicroVM (Machine) endpoints, fetching unique IDs and explicit placement regions flawlessly
- Autonomous Scaling — Provision new highly available Edge Machines to scale horizontal capacities dynamically without waiting on full platform deployments
- Live Health Auditing — Examine exhaustive runtime states, returning dynamic executing statuses (started, stopped, suspended) and docker image digests in real-time
- Remote Command Execution — Inject and run shell commands inside active Machines bypassing SSH by interacting directly with the hypervisor API securely
- Persistent Storage Control — List hardware NVMe Volumes attached to your apps to manage stateful data like PostgreSQL or SQLite independent of compute
- Network DNA Extraction — Retrieve the operational baseline of Fly Apps, identifying Wireguard ranges and cluster master regions synchronously
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Fly.io API Token (found in Fly.io Dashboard > Account > Tokens or via
fly auth token) - Start managing your edge infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- DevOps & Platform Engineers — monitor machine health and scale horizontally across global regions using natural language
- Backend Developers — trigger restarts, run database migrations, and verify deployment digests directly from the chat
- Cloud Architects — audit anycast IP assignments and persistent volume mappings without manual CLI commands
- SRE Teams — monitor system execution logs and run diagnostic commands on active machines in real-time
Built-in capabilities (10)
Scales horizontal capacities dynamically without waiting on full platform deployments. Provision a new highly available Edge Machine inside an App
The Firecracker VM is dropped, compute billing ceases immediately, and any ephemeral disk state dissolves. Fails safely if persistent volumes are explicitly attached without the force flag. Terminate and destroy a Fly Machine forever (Scale Down)
Useful for `ls`, `ps aux`, `top`, or running internal database diagnostic migrations. Inject and run a shell/Bash command inside an active Fly Machine
Identifies the primary Region holding the cluster master, internal Wireguard network ranges assigned, and any active Anycast IPs actively routing inbound user traffic globally. Retrieve the operational baseline state of a distinct Fly App
Returns dynamic executing states ("started", "stopped", "suspended"), the precise docker image digest/SHA actively booted into RAM, and any mapped volume points tying persistent SQLite/Postgres logs. Get exhaustive runtime states attached to a single Fly Machine
Apps are fundamentally distinct collections of individual microVMs (Machines), dedicated IPv4/IPv6 anycast assignments, and persistent storage volumes. List Fly.io App spaces belonging to an Organization
Retrieves unique identifiers and explicit placement Regions (e.g., iad, ams, nrt). List individual MicroVM (Machine) endpoints inside a Fly App
Crucial identifier for managing stateful applications (PostgreSQL, SQLite, persistent cache) safely independent of compute instances. List persistent hardware NVMe Volumes attached to an App
Utilized extensively when recovering paused batch processors or restarting crashed worker nodes dynamically across edge points of presence. Boot a previously stopped or suspended Fly Machine
Drastically reduces latency bills during idle cycles outside typical user ingress bands. Gracefully halt a running Fly.io internal Machine

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent scale up my application by creating more machines in a specific region?
Yes. Use the 'create_machine' tool. You can specify the region (e.g., 'iad', 'gru') and the Docker image. The agent will command the Fly.io orchestrator to boot up new VM instances instantly to handle increased demand.
How do I run a database migration or shell command on a live machine via chat?
Use the 'exec_machine' tool. Provide the machine ID and the command. The agent bypasses SSH entirely by interacting directly with the hypervisor API to run your binary alongside the running container securely.
Can I check the health and image version of my active machines through the agent?
Absolutely. The 'get_machine' tool retrieves exhaustive runtime states, including container health, current executing status (started/stopped), and the precise docker image digest actively booted into memory.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
