The Application Tools group provides comprehensive application lifecycle management capabilities in Dokploy. These tools enable you to create, configure, deploy, and monitor applications across your infrastructure.

​
Tool Categories

The 26 application tools are organized into four functional categories:

​
Core Operations (12 tools)

Manage the fundamental lifecycle of applications:

​
Git Provider Configuration (6 tools)

Configure source code providers for applications:

​
Configuration Management (8 tools)

Manage build, environment, and runtime configuration:

​
Semantic Annotations

All application tools include semantic hints to help MCP clients understand their behavior:
  • Read-Only Operations: application-one, application-readAppMonitoring, application-readTraefikConfig
  • Destructive Operations: application-update, application-delete, application-stop, application-cancelDeployment, all configuration save operations
  • Non-Destructive Operations: application-create, application-deploy, application-start, application-reload
  • Idempotent Operations: All read-only operations

​
Quick Start Example

Here’s a typical workflow for creating and deploying an application: 
// 1. Create the application
{
  "tool": "application-create",
  "input": {
    "name": "my-web-app",
    "appName": "my-web-app",
    "description": "Production web application",
    "environmentId": "env_123"
  }
}

// 2. Configure GitHub integration
{
  "tool": "application-saveGithubProvider",
  "input": {
    "applicationId": "app_456",
    "owner": "myorg",
    "repository": "myorg/web-app",
    "branch": "main",
    "githubId": "gh_789",
    "enableSubmodules": false
  }
}

// 3. Configure build settings
{
  "tool": "application-saveBuildType",
  "input": {
    "applicationId": "app_456",
    "buildType": "dockerfile",
    "dockerContextPath": null,
    "dockerBuildStage": null
  }
}

// 4. Deploy the application
{
  "tool": "application-deploy",
  "input": {
    "applicationId": "app_456"
  }
}
