What is the Dokku MCP Server?
Connect your Dokku instance to any AI agent and take full control of your self-hosted PaaS and container orchestration through natural conversation.
What you can do
- Application Lifecycle — List all managed apps and retrieve the overarching directory of deployments on your own infrastructure bypassing standard PaaS fees
- Provisioning & Deallocation — Barely instantiate new application repositories or irreversibly dismantle all bound containers and DNS routing records
- Environment Auditing — Retrieve the exact
.envdictionary bound dynamically via the config plugin to observe runtime inputs and SQL credentials - Configuration Mutation — Inject or remove sensitive environment variables securely, triggering rolling app deployments natively across your cluster
- Process Scaling — Manipulate explicit replica counts dynamically, determining whether web or worker containers spool up to meet demand
- Live Log Streaming — Pull precise system execution tails to investigate explicit request stack traces and crashing node backtraces without SSH
- One-off Executions — Launch raw commands inside ephemeral isolated containers for maintenance tasks like DB migrations or custom scripts
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Dokku Host URL and API Token (obtained from your Dokku Pro instance or REST API plugin)
- Start managing your private cloud from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
Who is this for?
- Indie Hackers & Founders — manage your self-hosted apps and deploy new versions using natural language
- DevOps Engineers — monitor process scales and application health across multiple server nodes
- SysAdmins — audit environment variables and verify system logs without manual SSH access
- Full-stack Developers — trigger restarts, scale web processes, and run migrations directly from the chat
Built-in capabilities (10)
Performs the structural network allocations setting up reverse-proxy hooks (Nginx/Traefik) preceding the actual codebase transfer. Provision a root App boundary wrapper on the Dokku VM
Instantly shuts down bound running docker containers orchestrating web/worker traffic, detaches volumes seamlessly, and removes explicit DNS routing records from the local VHOST mappings. Deallocate an App and dismantle all bound containers completely
Bypasses SSH to investigate explicit request stack traces, crashing node backtraces, or slow SQL queries happening inside the closed containers. Stream Dokku Application Docker stdout and stderr logs
Determines exactly which Docker containers are orchestrated internally by Dokku Core scaling plugins. List self-hosted Git-push Apps deployed via Dokku
env` or `ENV` dictionary bound dynamically via the `dokku config` plugin. Used strictly to observe runtime inputs (SQL credentials, external REST API tokens, Node_ENV bindings) governing app execution. Extract internal Environment variables loaded into the App
Dokku tears down old running docker processes spanning the App UUID, allocating updated dynamic ports tied via standard proxies (Nginx), ensuring zero downtime deploys if multiple replicas are alive. Bounce the application container dynamically
Determines whether the "web" container spins zero replicas (suspension), or if "worker" background tasks spool up to 10 endpoints. Scale structural internal application containers
Boots a brand new isolated Docker container cloning the production image layers for a single execution cycle. Useful for running `rake db:migrate`, `npm run script` safely disconnected from web traffic. Launch a raw one-off command inside an ephemeral container
Triggers a mandatory rolling app deployment unless the `--no-restart` daemon flag applies natively to the process. Critical for updating expired API auth tokens. Inject Environment Variables into a running Dokku Application
Immediately triggers the executing Docker cluster to orchestrate a rapid replacement cycle to strip out the revoked value. Removes stale credentials safely. Remove sensitive Environment Variables disrupting App config
Why Mastra AI?
Mastra's agent abstraction provides a clean separation between LLM logic and Dokku tool infrastructure. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and use Mastra's built-in workflow engine to chain tool calls with conditional logic, retries, and parallel execution. deployable to any Node.js host in one command.

Frequently asked questions
Can my agent scale my Dokku processes automatically?
Yes. Use the 'ps_scale' tool. You can specify the application name and the target replica count for processes like 'web' or 'worker'. The agent will manipulate the explicit counts within your Dokku cluster instantly.
How do I update environment variables via chat?
Use the 'set_config' tool. Provide the app name, key, and value. The agent will inject the pair into the Docker environment mapping, which typically triggers a rolling deployment to apply the new configuration safely.
Can I run database migrations through the agent?
Absolutely. Use the 'run_command' tool. It boots an ephemeral isolated container cloning your production image, allowing you to run maintenance commands like 'rake db:migrate' or custom scripts without affecting live traffic.
How does Mastra AI connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCPClient with the server URL and pass it to your agent. Mastra discovers all tools and makes them available with full TypeScript types.
Can Mastra agents use tools from multiple servers?
Yes. Pass multiple MCP clients to the agent constructor. Mastra merges all tool schemas and the agent can call any tool from any server.
Does Mastra support workflow orchestration?
Yes. Mastra has a built-in workflow engine that lets you chain MCP tool calls with branching logic, error handling, and parallel execution.
