Installation

# Install globally
npm install -g @pashvc/mcp-server-coolify

# Or use with npx
npx @pashvc/mcp-server-coolify

Configuration

The server requires two environment variables:

• COOLIFY_BASE_URL: The base URL of your Coolify instance
• COOLIFY_TOKEN: Your Coolify API token

Getting an API Token

1. Go to your Coolify instance
2. Navigate to Keys & Tokens / API tokens
3. Create a new token with the following required permissions:
   • read (for fetching information)
   • write (for managing resources)
   • deploy (for deployment operations)

Usage

In MCP Settings

Add the following to your MCP settings configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coolify": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@pashvc/mcp-server-coolify"],
      "env": {
        "COOLIFY_BASE_URL": "your-coolify-url",
        "COOLIFY_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Windows Cline users may need the following:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coolify": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "@pashvc/mcp-server-coolify"
      ],
      "env": {
        "COOLIFY_BASE_URL": "your-coolify-url",
        "COOLIFY_TOKEN": "your-api-token"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• 404 Errors: Some endpoints may not be available in all Coolify versions. The server automatically handles different response formats across versions.
• Authentication Errors: Ensure your API token has the required permissions (read, write, deploy).
• Connection Issues: Verify your COOLIFY_BASE_URL is correct and accessible.
• Environment Variables: Make sure both COOLIFY_BASE_URL and COOLIFY_TOKEN are set correctly.

Testing Your Setup

# Test with your credentials
export COOLIFY_BASE_URL="https://your-coolify-instance.com"
export COOLIFY_TOKEN="your-api-token"

# Run integration tests to verify connectivity
npm run test:integration

# Or test the server directly
npm run build && npm start

API Compatibility

The server handles different response formats automatically:

• Version endpoint: Supports both string and object responses
• List endpoints: Handles both direct arrays and paginated responses
• Health endpoint: Adapts to different status response formats
• Error handling: Robust parsing of various error message formats
