OUR ASSESSMENT

Strengths
  • Dokploy official maintenance.
  • 240 GitHub stars.
  • 35 commits on main in the last 30 days.
  • Self-hosted PaaS deployment scope.
  • Database management included.
Weaknesses
  • License NOASSERTION at inspection.
  • Dokploy instance required; cloud-managed Dokploy has separate pricing.
  • deploy_application can promote to production environments; agent prompt path needs review.
Security Notes

DOKPLOY_API_KEY carries workspace-level permissions. Use a service-account API key scoped to a non-production workspace for agent flows. deploy_application and restart_application carry production impact; gate behind explicit operator confirmation.

Best For

Self-hosted PaaS users running Dokploy on their own infrastructure; teams adopting agent-driven deploys without going through a managed cloud; cost-conscious operators who want Heroku-like UX with full control.

SOURCES & VERIFICATION

We don't take any single directory's word for it. Before scoring, we cross-reference 5 public MCP sources, install the server ourselves against the clients we cover, and record when we last re-verified.

The same server, 5 different lenses. We reconcile these signals into our editorial score, which is why our number sometimes diverges from a directory-aggregate star count.
