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.

FAQ

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.

Which VS Code version supports MCP?

MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.

How do I switch to Agent mode?

Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.

Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?

Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.

Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?

Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.

MCP tools not available

Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
