Complete set · 10 capabilities

The complete Heroku capability set.

These are the exact actions your AI can choose when you ask it to work with Heroku.

Capability set01 / 03

01-04

4 capabilities in this set.

Part of 10 available through Heroku.

  1. 01

    Delete app

    Traffic routing instantly yields persistent 404/no web-dynos responses. Highly destructive. Permanently wipe an active App from Heroku servers

  2. 02

    List addons

    Retrieve third-party Platform Add-ons mapping to an App

  3. 03

    List dynos

    1, worker.1). Tracks exactly whether the dyno is "up", "crashed", "idle", or "starting" based on the internal slug runner engine's telemetry. List discrete containerized Dynos executing inside an App

  4. 04

    Restart all dynos

    Often resolves ephemeral memory-leaks in Node.js or Ruby runtimes stalling standard request processing. Hard reboot all containers tied to an entire Application

Capability set02 / 03

05-07

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 10 available through Heroku.

  1. 05

    Toggle maintenance mode

    Crucial for orchestrating complex sequential database migrations without encountering corrupted states from active sessions. Rapidly switch an Application's Maintenance Mode switch

  2. 06

    Create app

    Provision a fresh structural App container on Heroku

  3. 07

    Get app info

    G. heroku-22, heroku-24). Confirms exact application routing URL mapping, total slug (code) size in memory, and regional datacenter placements (US or EU) verifying globalThis latency strategies. Fetch intricate runtime constraints and framework details of an App

Capability set03 / 03

08-10

3 capabilities in this set.

Part of 10 available through Heroku.

  1. 08

    List apps

    Use this to discover App IDs, web URL designations, and git repository targets required to execute operational commands downstream. List all standard applications actively hosted on Heroku PaaS

  2. 09

    List config vars

    Retrieves highly confidential database tokens DATABASE_URL, SendGrid passwords, or OAuth keys. Dump decrypted Application Environment Variables

  3. 10

    Restart specific dyno

    Exceedingly useful for unsticking hung asynchronous queue workers without impacting active web traffic on the primary frontend replicas. Selectively reboot one isolated Dyno instance (e.g. worker.2)

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 10 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Heroku, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Heroku. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.

FAQ

Questions Heroku owners ask.

  • 01

    Can I see the status of my dynos through my agent?

    Yes. Use the list_dynos capability to see the real-time status of each container process (e.g. web.1, worker.1). You'll know exactly if a dyno is up, crashed, starting, or idle.

  • 02

    How do I check my application's environment variables?

    The list_config_vars capability allows your agent to dump the full dictionary of environment variables injected into your dynos, including sensitive keys like DATABASE_URL or API tokens.

  • 03

    Can my agent restart a specific hung worker without affecting the web traffic?

    Absolutely. Use the restart_specific_dyno capability to reboot a single instance (e.g. worker.2). This is perfect for unsticking hung asynchronous queue workers without impacting your primary frontend traffic.
