Built-in capabilities (11)

delete_variable

Provide the service_id, environment_id and variable name. WARNING: the variable will no longer be available to deployments after deletion. Delete an environment variable from a Railway service

get_project

Provide the project ID obtained from list_projects. Get details for a specific Railway project

get_viewer

Use this to verify which account the API token belongs to. Get current authenticated Railway user details

list_deployments

Each deployment has an ID, status (success, failed, deploying, removed), creation and update timestamps. Use the service_id from list_services. List deployments for a Railway service

list_domains

Each domain has an ID, the domain string and SSL status (verified, pending, failed). Use this to audit which services are accessible via custom URLs. List custom domains for a Railway service

list_environments

g. production, staging, development) configured within a specific Railway project. Each environment has its own set of services, variables and deployments. Use the project_id from list_projects. List environments in a Railway project

list_projects

Each project groups related services, environments and deployments together. Returns project ID, name, description and timestamps. Use this as the starting point for all Railway operations. List all Railway projects

list_services

Optionally filter by environment_id to see services in a specific environment only. Each service represents a deployable unit like a web app, API, database or Redis instance. List services in a Railway project

list_variables

Each variable has a name and scope (service, environment, project). Variable values are NOT returned for security — only names and scopes. Use service_id and environment_id from their respective list tools. List environment variables for a Railway service

list_volumes

Each volume has an ID, name, associated service ID and size in gigabytes. Volumes provide persistent storage that survives deployments and restarts. List persistent volumes in a Railway project

set_variable

Requires the service_id, environment_id, variable name and value. The variable will be available to all deployments of that service in the given environment. Set an environment variable for a Railway service

  • Project Discovery — List all projects and retrieve their details including names, descriptions and timestamps
  • Environment Management — View all deployment environments (production, staging, development) per project
  • Service Inspection — List all services (containers, databases, plugins) within a project, optionally filtered by environment
  • Deployment Tracking — View deployment history with status (success, failed, deploying) for any service
  • Variable Management — List, set and delete environment variables for services in specific environments
  • Volume Audit — List persistent storage volumes with their sizes and associated services
  • Domain Management — Review custom domains and their SSL certificate status for any service

How it works

1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Railway Personal Access Token
