Coolify has an MCP server built in, so there is nothing to install. It lets an assistant look at your servers, apps and databases, read logs, deploy, restart and roll back. What it can do depends on the API token you give it, so a token with read access only keeps it hands-off. Community servers run on your computer and suit older Coolify versions, or give you a read-only setting or a longer tool list.
Good for
- Self-hosters who want Claude to explain why an app is down or a deploy failed
- Developers who deploy, restart or roll back apps from Claude Code or Cursor
- Teams on Coolify Cloud who want a connection with nothing to install
- Admins who want a read-only view of every project, server and database
Which Coolify MCP server to use
Use the built-in server if you want nothing to install. Pick StuMason's coolify-mcp for older Coolify versions, kof70 for a read-only switch, or 0xtlt for the longest tool list.

Questions
Is there an official Coolify MCP server?
Yes. It is built into Coolify itself, and each instance serves it at /mcp. On Coolify Cloud the address is https://app.coolify.io/mcp.
Is the Coolify MCP server free?
Yes. It is part of Coolify, so it costs nothing extra on self-hosted Coolify and is included on Coolify Cloud. The community servers are open source and only need a Coolify API token.
Which Coolify MCP server is read-only?
With the built-in server, give it an API token that has only the read permission and the change tools never appear. kof70's README has a COOLIFY_READONLY setting for read-only mode, and frndchagas's README lists write protection.
Which Coolify version do I need?
The built-in server needs Coolify 4.1.0 or later, and 4.5.0 or later to create, change or delete resources. 0xtlt's README requires 4.3.0 or newer, and wrediam's README says its tools work with Coolify v4.x.
Can it delete my apps or databases?
The built-in server can, with a token that has the write permission, and each delete needs an explicit confirmation. StuMason's README says destructive operations ask a human first.
Does it work in Claude and Cursor?
Yes. Coolify's docs cover Claude Code, Cursor and other clients for the built-in server. StuMason's README says its server works from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, and it offers a Claude Desktop one-click bundle.
How do I turn the built-in server on?
On self-hosted Coolify, open Settings > Advanced and set MCP server to Enabled in the API and MCP section. On Coolify Cloud it is already on.
Built-in server or StuMason's coolify-mcp?
Use the built-in one if you want nothing to install; it needs Coolify 4.5 or later to create or change resources. StuMason's server runs on your computer, lists 46 tools, and its README says it works with Coolify 4.0 through 4.3.
Can one connection reach all my teams?
No. Each token belongs to one team, and the assistant only sees that team's resources. Add one connection per team.
