Why people use Coolify
Coolify for Self-Hosting and Private Cloud Management
This Connector changes that by letting you just ask for what you need. You can pull a database URI or check the status of your entire cluster in one sentence. You get your work done faster because the agent handles the navigation for you.
What Vinkius changes

Before you connect
Questions about Coolify.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Coolify MCP manage my AWS instances?
No, this Connector is specifically designed to connect to your Coolify instance. It won't manage public cloud providers like AWS or GCP directly.
How do I connect Coolify MCP to my agent?
You just need to subscribe to the Connector and provide your Coolify Instance URL and your API Token. You can find your token in the Keys & Tokens section of your Coolify dashboard.
Can I use it to see my Docker Swarm status?
Yes, you can ask your agent to check the status of your nodes and Docker Swarm properties across your cluster using the list and get capabilities.
Does Coolify MCP support Nixpacks?
Yes, it can trigger raw build pipelines that rebuild Nixpacks images and roll out updated Docker versions directly to your applications.
Will it help me find my database connection strings?
Yes, it can pull the internal configuration arrays and connection strings for your managed PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis databases.
Can I restart my apps using the Coolify MCP?
Yes, you can ask your agent to bounce an application to ensure that new environment variables or configuration updates take effect in runtime.
Can my agent trigger a new deployment for a Coolify application?
Yes. Use the 'trigger_deployment' capability with the application UUID. The agent will initiate a full build pipeline, fetching the latest commit and rolling out the updated version directly on your server.
How do I retrieve the internal connection string for a managed database?
Provide the database UUID to the 'get_database' capability. Your agent will extrapolate the internal network URI (e.g., for PostgreSQL or MySQL), allowing you to securely link your apps without external port exposure.
Can I restart an application to apply new environment variables?
Absolutely. Use the 'restart_application' capability. The agent will execute an overlapping bounce, destroying old instances and initializing fresh replicas with the latest configuration and environment variables.
One connection away
