What is Dokploy MCP Server?
Dokploy MCP Server exposes Dokploy functionalities as tools consumable via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It allows MCP-compatible clients (AI models, code editors, and other applications) to interact with your Dokploy server programmatically through a clean and efficient interface.Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to Large Language Models (LLMs). It enables AI assistants to securely access tools, data sources, and APIs through a unified interface.
What is Dokploy?
Dokploy is a self-hosted platform for deploying and managing applications, databases, and services. It provides a streamlined alternative to complex cloud platforms, allowing you to deploy applications with Git integration, manage databases, configure domains, and more—all from your own infrastructure.What You Can Do
With Dokploy MCP Server, you can manage your entire Dokploy infrastructure through natural language commands in MCP-compatible clients:- Deploy applications from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, or custom Git repositories
- Manage databases including PostgreSQL and MySQL with full lifecycle control
- Configure domains with automatic SSL/TLS certificates via Let’s Encrypt
- Control deployments with start, stop, redeploy, and rollback capabilities
- Monitor applications with real-time metrics and Traefik routing configuration
- Organize projects to group related applications and databases
Key Features
67 Tools
Comprehensive API coverage across projects, applications, domains, PostgreSQL, and MySQL management
Multiple Transports
Supports both Stdio (default) and HTTP modes with modern Streamable HTTP and legacy SSE protocols
Git Provider Support
Native integrations for GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Gitea, and custom Git servers
Type Safety
Built with TypeScript and Zod for robust schema validation and error handling
Tool Categories
The 67 tools are organized into five main categories:- Project Management (6 tools) - Create, update, duplicate, and organize projects
- Application Management (26 tools) - Full application lifecycle, Git configuration, and monitoring
