🛠️ Key Features

Compatibility shim that launches the MCP server via Railway CLI
Guidance for migrating from a standalone TypeScript MCP server
Simple commands to install and configure MCP clients (local or remote)

🚀 Use Cases

Running MCP workflows within Railway environments
Migrating existing MCP setups to Railway CLI-based hosting
Configuring remote MCP hosting for standardized access

⚡ Developer Benefits

Clear migration path and installed tooling instructions
Centralized MCP server management through Railway CLI
Lightweight approach by deprecating standalone server in favor of CLI bundling

⚠️ Limitations

`@railway/mcp-server` is deprecated

Railway MCP is now bundled into the Railway CLI.

This npm package no longer contains the standalone TypeScript MCP server. It is a compatibility shim that launches:

bash

railway mcp

Migration

Install or upgrade the Railway CLI:

bash

bash <(curl -fsSL https://railway.com/install.sh)

Then configure supported MCP clients:

bash

railway mcp install

To configure the hosted MCP server instead of the local stdio server:

bash

railway mcp install --remote

You can also configure a local MCP client directly with:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "railway": {
      "command": "railway",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Remove old client entries that run:

bash

npx -y @railway/mcp-server

Compatibility

For existing configs that still invoke @railway/mcp-server, this package delegates to railway mcp.

If the Railway CLI is missing, the package exits with migration instructions.
