Where the request belongs
Work Railway can move forward.
This is for the developer or DevOps engineer who is tired of context-switching between their code and a cloud dashboard. It's for the person who needs to check a deployment status or update a production variable at 10 PM and wants to do it without the friction of a web UI.
DevOps Engineer
Audits project configurations and manages persistent volumes without leaving the terminal.
Full-stack Developer
Checks deployment statuses and updates environment variables while staying in their IDE.
Team Lead
Monitors project health and audits variable security across multiple production environments.

Before you connect
Questions about Railway.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Railway MCP manage my production secrets?
Yes, you can use it to set and manage environment variables for any service in your production, staging, or development environments.
How does the Railway MCP help with deployment tracking?
It allows your AI agent to pull the full history of your service deployments, showing you success rates, timestamps, and current status.
Can I use the Railway MCP to check my SSL certificates?
Yes, it can list your custom domains and show you whether the SSL status is verified, pending, or failed.
Does the Railway MCP support persistent storage?
It can list all your persistent volumes, showing you the size and which service each volume is attached to.
Can I use this Connector to see all my different Railway projects at once?
Yes, it provides a full list of your projects, including their names and descriptions, so you can get an overview of your entire account.
Will the Railway MCP help me manage my databases?
It allows your agent to list and inspect all services in a project, including your databases and Redis instances.
How do I create a Railway Personal Access Token?
Log in to the Railway Dashboard, go to Account Settings > Tokens, and click Create Token. You can create a no-workspace token for broad access or a project-scoped token for limited access. Copy the token immediately. it won't be shown again.
Can I manage environment variables via the agent?
Yes! Use list_variables to see all variable names (values are hidden for security) for a service in an environment. Use set_variable to create or update a variable with a name and value, and delete_variable to remove one. You'll need the service_id and environment_id from the list capabilities.
What types of services does Railway support?
Railway supports any containerized service: web applications (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), message brokers and custom Docker images. Each service is deployed as an isolated container with its own environment variables, domains and persistent volumes.
How do I find my service_id and environment_id?
Use list_projects to get your project_id, then list_environments with that project_id to get the environment_id. Next, use list_services with the project_id (and optionally environment_id) to get the service_id. These IDs are required for variable, deployment and domain operations.
