A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for managing Coolify deployments, providing both programmatic MCP tools and comprehensive CLI commands.
MCP (Model Control Protocol) lets you manage Coolify directly from your AI editor.
For Cursor:
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json
or <project_folder>/.cursor/mcp.json
:
{
"mcpServers": {
"coolify-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@felixallistar/coolify-mcp", "--server"],
"env": {
"COOLIFY_API_URL": "https://your-coolify-instance.com",
"COOLIFY_API_TOKEN": "your-coolify-api-token"
}
}
}
}
For VS Code:
Add to <project_folder>/.vscode/mcp.json
:
{
"servers": {
"coolify-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@felixallistar/coolify-mcp", "--server"],
"env": {
"COOLIFY_API_URL": "https://your-coolify-instance.com",
"COOLIFY_API_TOKEN": "your-coolify-api-token"
},
"type": "stdio"
}
}
}
🔑 Replace
your-coolify-instance.com
with your actual Coolify URL andyour-coolify-api-token
with your API token from Coolify Settings > API.
Open Cursor Settings (Ctrl+Shift+J) ➡ Click on MCP tab ➡ Enable coolify-mcp with the toggle
