What is the Railway MCP Server?
Connect your Railway cloud infrastructure to an AI agent, streamlining operations directly from your chat terminal. By configuring this integration, the AI gains programmatic management over your active deployments and environments.
What you can do
- Project Management — Create new projects or query existing ones to assess active cloud architectures without opening the web dashboard.
- Deployment Oversight — Review build statuses, trigger new deployments, and read rollout logs to ensure stable releases.
- Service Configuration — List, update, or restart operational services mapped within your Railway projects securely.
- Environment Variables — Manage sensitive configuration keys by securely pulling, updating, or syncing environment values across instances.
How it works
- Enable the MCP server integration for Railway.
- Add your Railway API Token to the configuration.
- Ask your AI to list projects, fetch deployment health, or handle your services seamlessly.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — Restart unhealthy containers or verify environment variables quickly from within a VS Code interface.
- Fullstack Developers — Trigger deployments after wrapping up a pull request and oversee the operational results interactively.
- System Administrators — Conduct fast routine checks on service connectivity scaling without having to rely entirely on separate client applications.

Why Cursor?
Cursor's Agent mode turns Railway into an in-editor superpower. Ask Cursor to generate code using live data from Railway 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
How do I create a Railway API token?
Log into your main Railway dashboard. Navigate to your Account Settings and head to the 'Tokens' section. Generate a standard Personal Access API Token, copy it definitively, and paste it into the secure configuration field provided by the MCP integration here.
Can I target specific environments (like Staging vs Production)?
Yes. Each API operation supports passing explicit project_id and environment_id variables, ensuring the AI performs operations strictly inside your requested boundaries.
Is restarting a service destructive?
It behaves identically to clicking 'Restart' on the Railway dashboard. It forces an immediate container recycle for the specific service based on the last successful build.
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.
