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)

create_machine

Scales horizontal capacities dynamically without waiting on full platform deployments. Provision a new highly available Edge Machine inside an App

delete_machine

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)

exec_machine

Useful for `ls`, `ps aux`, `top`, or running internal database diagnostic migrations. Inject and run a shell/Bash command inside an active Fly Machine

get_app

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

get_machine

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

list_apps

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

list_machines

Retrieves unique identifiers and explicit placement Regions (e.g., iad, ams, nrt). List individual MicroVM (Machine) endpoints inside a Fly App

list_volumes

Crucial identifier for managing stateful applications (PostgreSQL, SQLite, persistent cache) safely independent of compute instances. List persistent hardware NVMe Volumes attached to an App

start_machine

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

stop_machine

Drastically reduces latency bills during idle cycles outside typical user ingress bands. Gracefully halt a running Fly.io internal Machine

Why Cursor?

Cursor's Agent mode turns Fly.io into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Fly.io and it fetches, processes, and writes. all in a single agentic loop. 10 tools appear alongside file editing and terminal access, creating a unified development environment grounded in real-time information.

—
Agent mode turns Cursor into an autonomous coding assistant that can read files, run commands, and call MCP tools without switching context
—
Cursor's Composer feature can generate entire files using real-time data fetched through MCP. no copy-pasting from external dashboards
—
MCP tools appear alongside built-in tools like file reading and terminal access, creating a unified agentic environment
—
VS Code extension compatibility means your existing workflow, keybindings, and extensions all work alongside MCP tools

FAQ

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.

What is Agent mode and why does it matter for MCP?

Agent mode is Cursor's autonomous execution mode where the AI can perform multi-step tasks: reading files, editing code, running terminal commands, and calling MCP tools. Without Agent mode, Cursor operates in a simpler ask-and-answer mode that doesn't support tool calling. Always ensure you're in Agent mode when working with MCP servers.

Where does Cursor store MCP configuration?

Cursor looks for MCP server configurations in a mcp.json file. You can configure servers at the project level (.cursor/mcp.json in your project root) or globally (~/.cursor/mcp.json). Project-level configs take precedence.

Can Cursor use MCP tools in inline edits?

No. MCP tools are only available in Agent mode through the chat panel. Inline completions and Tab suggestions do not trigger MCP tool calls. This is by design. tool calls require user visibility and approval.

How do I verify MCP tools are loaded?

Open Settings → Features → MCP and look for your server name. A green indicator means the server is connected. You can also check Agent mode's available tools by clicking the tools dropdown in the chat panel.
