Coolify

Coolify MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing full coverage of the Coolify v4.3.1 REST API. Manage applications, databases, services, servers, deployments, and more — all from any MCP-compatible AI client.

Compatibility: Coolify v4.x. API base: https://<your-coolify-instance>/api/v1

Coolify v4.2.0 made state-changing endpoints POST-only; the former GET routes now return This endpoint has changed to a POST request. This server issues POST for all of them. Lifecycle and deploy operations remain compatible with earlier v4.x releases, which accepted both methods. Three tools — enable_api, disable_api and validate_server — call endpoints that were GET-only before v4.2.0 and so require Coolify v4.2.0 or newer.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• A running Coolify v4 instance (v4.2.0+ for the three tools noted above)
• A Coolify API token (from Security → API Tokens in the dashboard)

Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g coolify-mcp-server

# Or use with npx (no install needed)
npx coolify-mcp-server

Configuration

Set two environment variables:

Variable	Description
COOLIFY_BASE_URL	Base URL of your Coolify instance (e.g. https://coolify.example.com)
COOLIFY_TOKEN	Your Coolify API Bearer token
