@bultcloud/mcp-server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Bult. It lets MCP clients manage Bult projects, services, volumes, routes, templates, deployments, logs, and builds through the Bult API.

Demo

Features

• Project lifecycle tools: list, inspect, create, update, delete, deploy, start, stop, and discard changes.
• Service management for daemon and database services, including Docker image and Git-based deployments.
• Persistent volumes, route/domain mappings, templates, service logs, and build history.
• MCP tool annotations for read-only, idempotent, and destructive operations where supported.
• Works over stdio with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity and other MCP-compatible clients.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• Bult API token.

Installation

If you install the package globally, use the bult-mcp binary:

npm install -g @bultcloud/mcp-server
bult-mcp

You can also run it with npx from MCP client configs:

npx -y @bultcloud/mcp-server

Configuration

The server reads its configuration from environment variables.

| Variable | Required | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | BULT_API_URL | Yes | Bult API base URL, https://app.bult.ai. | | BULT_API_TOKEN | Yes | API token used for Bearer authentication. |

The server exits during startup if either variable is missing.

src/client.ts         Bult API client
src/tools/*.ts        MCP tool registrations by resource type

Security

BULT_API_TOKEN grants access to your Bult resources. Keep it out of source control, shell history, issue reports, and screenshots. Prefer scoped or rotatable tokens when available.

Some tools can create, delete, deploy, stop, or wipe resources. Review tool calls from your MCP client before approving destructive actions.
