What you can do
- App Management — Create, list, and delete Fly Apps across your organizations.
- Machine Lifecycle — Start, stop, suspend, and update individual Machines with precise configuration control.
- Storage & Volumes — Provision, extend, and manage persistent volumes and snapshots for your stateful applications.
- Network & Security — Manage ACME and custom certificates, and request OIDC tokens for secure workload identity.
- Real-time Monitoring — Wait for specific machine states and fetch detailed metadata for debugging and orchestration.
How it works
- Subscribe to this server
- Enter your Fly.io Personal Access Token
- Start deploying and managing your global infrastructure from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — Automate scaling, machine restarts, and volume management without leaving the terminal or chat interface.
- Full-stack Developers — Deploy new app instances and check machine statuses directly from your code editor.
- SRE Teams — Quickly inspect infrastructure health and manage certificates during incident response.

How Vinkius secures
Fly.io Extended for Windsurf
Every tool call from Windsurf to the Fly.io Extended MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
Can I start or stop a specific Fly Machine using this server?
Yes. You can use the start_machine and stop_machine tools by providing the app name and the specific Machine ID. You can also use suspend_machine for compatible workloads.
How do I create a new application in a specific organization?
Use the create_app tool. You will need to provide a unique app_name and the org_slug of the target organization where you want the app to be provisioned.
Is it possible to manage persistent storage volumes?
Absolutely. The server includes tools like create_volume, list_volumes, extend_volume, and delete_volume to handle the full lifecycle of your Fly Volumes.
How does Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
