What is the Fly.io Alternative MCP Server?
Connect your Fly.io account to any AI agent and take full control of your edge compute infrastructure through natural conversation.
What you can do
- App Management — List all apps and retrieve their configuration details including regions, status and organization
- Machine Lifecycle — Create, start, stop, restart, update and delete machines (VMs) with full control over CPU, memory, region and image
- Machine Inspection — View machine state, configuration, services, health checks and IP addresses
- Persistent Volumes — List and create persistent storage volumes that survive machine restarts and redeployments
- Certificate Management — Review TLS/SSL certificates and their issuance status for app domains
- Global Deployment — Deploy machines across Fly.io's global regions (iad, sjc, nrt, fra, syd, etc.) for low-latency access
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Fly.io Personal Access Token
- Start managing your edge infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Stop using the CLI or web dashboard to manage individual VMs. Your AI acts as a dedicated edge infrastructure engineer.
Who is this for?
- Platform Engineers — provision and manage VMs across multiple regions, scale services and monitor machine health without SSH
- DevOps Teams — inspect machine configurations, review deployments, manage persistent storage and track certificate status
- Full-Stack Developers — quickly check machine status, restart problematic VMs and verify image versions directly from chat
Built-in capabilities (13)
io app. Requires the Docker image reference (e.g. "registry.fly.io/myapp:latest"). Optionally set the region (e.g. "iad", "sjc", "nrt"), CPU cores (1-16), memory in MB (256-8192), guest CPU kind (shared, performance) and services config.

io account. Each app is a collection of machines (VMs) running your code across Fly.io's global edge network. Returns app name, status, region and creation date. Use the app name for all subsequent machine, volume and certificate operations. List all Fly.io apps
io app. Each certificate has a hostname, status (issued, pending, failed) and source (lets_encrypt, self_signed, acme). Use this to audit HTTPS certificate status for your app's domains. List TLS/SSL certificates for a Fly.io app
io app. Each machine has an ID, name, state (started, stopped, created, destroyed), region, image reference, CPU/memory config and IP addresses. Machines are the fundamental compute units on Fly.io. List machines (VMs) for a Fly.io app
io app. Each volume has an ID, name, state, size in GB, region and the machine it is attached to. Volumes provide persistent storage that survives machine restarts. List persistent volumes for a Fly.io app
Useful for applying configuration changes or recovering from issues. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Restart a Fly.io machine
The machine will boot and begin running its configured image. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Start a stopped Fly.io machine
The machine will stop and release its compute resources but retains its configuration and data. Provide the app_name and machine_id. Stop a running Fly.io machine
You can modify the Docker image, CPU/memory allocation, services config, mounts and more. Provide the app_name, machine_id and a JSON body with the fields to update. Update a Fly.io machine configuration
Why Cline?

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Fly.io Personal Access Token?
Log in to the Fly.io Dashboard, go to Settings > Personal Access Tokens, click Create, name your token and copy it immediately — it won't be shown again. Alternatively, use fly tokens create from the CLI after authenticating with fly auth login.
What is a Fly.io Machine and how does it work?
A Machine is a Fly.io VM (micro-VM) that runs your Docker container image. Each machine has its own CPU, memory, storage and IP address. Machines can be started, stopped, restarted and updated independently. They can run in any of Fly.io's 30+ global regions and are the fundamental compute unit of the platform.
Can I start and stop machines to save costs?
Yes! Use stop_machine to halt a machine and release its compute resources, and start_machine to boot it again. Stopped machines don't incur compute charges. This is perfect for development/staging environments that don't need to run 24/7. Persistent volumes attached to stopped machines retain all data.
How do I deploy a machine in a specific region?
Use the create_machine tool with the region parameter set to your desired Fly.io region code. Common regions include: iad (Virginia, US), sjc (San Jose, US), nrt (Tokyo, Japan), fra (Frankfurt, Germany), syd (Sydney, Australia). The full list is available in the Fly.io documentation.
How does Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
