8 TOOLS AVAILABLE
OUR ASSESSMENT
- 350 GitHub stars and MIT licence.
- 12 commits on main in the last 30 days.
- 38 optimised tools (per maintainer description).
- Self-hostable PaaS makes this useful for organisations with data-residency or cost requirements that rule out hosted PaaS.
- Two-step deploy and restart flows for Git-based and Docker-based applications.
- Coolify itself must be deployed and configured before the MCP is useful.
- Single-maintainer governance.
- Coolify API token grants instance-wide access; scope per agent.
The MCP carries the Coolify API token through to the configured Coolify instance. Scope the token via Coolify access controls. For self-hosted deployments, run the MCP on the same network segment as the Coolify instance to reduce exposure.
Operators running Coolify for self-hosted application deployment who want agents to deploy, restart, and inspect logs from inside the editor; teams with data-residency or cost requirements that rule out hosted PaaS; multi-server Coolify deployments.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION
We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 4 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.
The same server, 4 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
