Overview

Official Railway MCP server for managing Railway projects, services, deployments, variables, logs, and infrastructure from MCP-compatible AI clients.

Details

Railway MCP Server is Railway’s official Model Context Protocol server. Railway documents both a local stdio MCP server started with `railway mcp` and a hosted remote MCP endpoint at `https://mcp.railway.com`. The server is intended for MCP-compatible AI clients and agents to manage Railway projects, services, deployments, variables, logs, and infrastructure. Railway’s remote MCP documentation says it uses browser OAuth and supports MCP-compatible agents such as Claude, Cursor, Codex, and GitHub Copilot.

When to Use

Use when you want an MCP-compatible AI client to operate Railway resources such as projects services deployments variables logs and infrastructure. Use the remote endpoint when you want a hosted Railway MCP server at `https://mcp.railway.com` with browser OAuth. Use the local CLI server when you want to start a stdio MCP server through the Railway CLI with `railway mcp`.
