🤖 For AI Agents

Important: If you're an AI agent using this MCP server, please read:

• AI Agent Troubleshooting Guide - Essential debugging techniques
• Known Limitation: Deployment logs are NOT accessible via MCP tools (workarounds documented)
• Database Access Required: For detailed deployment debugging, direct database access is necessary

Quick Debugging Reference

// When deployment fails with "exited:unhealthy"
// 1. Get application status
const app = await coolify_get_application('app-uuid');

// 2. Start new deployment
const result = await coolify_start_application('app-uuid', { force_rebuild: true });
const deploymentUuid = result.deployment_uuid;

// 3. Wait for build (60-120 seconds)
await sleep(90000);

// 4. Get logs via database (ONLY way to see detailed errors)
docker exec coolify-db psql -U coolify -d coolify -t -c \
  "SELECT logs FROM application_deployment_queues WHERE deployment_uuid = '${deploymentUuid}';"

See full guide for common patterns: Git SHA issues, Dockerfile path errors, NODE_ENV problems, health check failures, and more.

---

📋 Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• Coolify instance running (4.0.0-beta.380+)
• Coolify API token with appropriate permissions

---

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

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

# Or use with npx (no installation required)
npx coolify-mcp-server

Configuration

The server requires two environment variables:

export COOLIFY_BASE_URL="https://your-coolify-instance.com"
export COOLIFY_TOKEN="your-api-token-here"

Getting an API Token

1. Log into your Coolify instance
2. Navigate to Keys & Tokens → API Tokens
3. Create a new token with permissions:
   • ✅ read - Fetch information
   • ✅ write - Manage resources
   • ✅ deploy - Deployment operations

MCP Client Setup

Add to your MCP settings configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coolify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "coolify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "COOLIFY_BASE_URL": "https://your-coolify-instance.com",
        "COOLIFY_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windows (Cline):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coolify": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": ["/c", "npx", "-y", "coolify-mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "COOLIFY_BASE_URL": "https://your-coolify-instance.com",
        "COOLIFY_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      }
    }
  }
}
