What is the Porter PaaS MCP Server?
Connect your Porter account to any AI agent and take full programmatic control over your Kubernetes infrastructure natively.
What you can do
- Projects & Clusters — List high-level organizational bounds, EKS/GKE clusters, and deployment zones
- Applications & Environments — Map staging/production namespaces, check active web services, and resolve container requirements
- Operations — Restart app pods gracefully or forcefully deploy specific image tags when resolving CI/CD breaks
- Helm Inspections — Check low-level Helm charts behind active components (like Postgres or Redis)
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Porter API Token
- Start managing your clusters straight from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
No pulling KUBECONFIG files, authenticating via cloud CLI tools, or navigating dashboards. Your orchestration lives in chat.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — quickly restart crashing services and audit cluster architectures on the fly
- Backend Developers — rollback image tags and orchestrate quick deployments directly from standard chat
- Engineering Leads — inspect resource mapping and isolate distinct staging environments instantly
Built-in capabilities (10)
Assigns a raw docker registry digest/tag directly causing Kubernetes to perform an absolute image pull orchestrating a fresh deployment state spanning replica boundaries. Forcefully mutate the executed Docker image running internally
Includes explicit CPU metrics requested, RAM limits mapped locally to the JVM/Node instances, and internal registry image hashes resolving at runtime. Analyze architectural bindings orchestrating a specific App
Inspect deep cloud credentials generating a specific K8s Cluster
Perform structural extraction of metadata linked to a Porter Project
Discovers precisely which App routing identities expose `porter.run` subdomains or linked target custom apex mappings. Inventory deployed discrete Applications mapping to a Cluster
Exposes crucial execution zones hosting absolute memory nodes. List underlying target cloud Kubernetes definitions bounds to Porter
Extract logic isolation environments overlapping the Cluster
Vital for verifying if dependent third-party apps (e.g. Postgres databases or Metabase) deployed aside the primary stack succeeded during installation phases. List underlying operational Helm configurations inside a namespace
Fetches indispensable integer `projectId` arrays coordinating everything strictly downstream inside AWS/GCP clusters. Identify base Porter PaaS organizational scopes
Mandatory during severe connection leakage scenarios impacting native processes without modifying the fundamental code layer deployment tag. Instruct the Kubernetes API to bounce the App deployment replicas
Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Porter PaaS into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Porter PaaS 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

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically deploy an urgent hotfix tag?
Yes. If a specific commit tag needs to be rolled out bypassing regular CI delays, simply command the AI to deploy_app_tag providing the target container suffix. It issues direct orchestration commands triggering an absolute image update inside Kubernetes immediately.
Can the agent check internal Helm variables for external addons?
Absolutely. Using the list_helm_releases tool, your agent analyzes raw orchestrator chart variables inside the cluster's namespace. It is invaluable for diagnosing why your Postgres Helm initialization is misbehaving.
Is it safe to orchestrate infrastructure boundaries with AI?
Yes! The token you provide is inherently scoped to the exact projects authorized in the Porter Dashboard. The AI strictly respects the platform's isolation, ensuring you only restart or query bounded namespace assets.
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.
Tools not appearing in Cursor
Ensure you are in Agent mode (not Ask mode). MCP tools only work in Agent mode.
Server shows as disconnected
Check Settings → Features → MCP and verify the server status. Try clicking the refresh button.
