MCP server for Dokploy that works cleanly with Codex, Cursor, Claude Code,
and Claude Desktop.
Three tools up front. Hundreds of Dokploy procedures underneath. Less schema tax, more actual
deploys.
Most MCP servers treat your context window like free landfill. This one starts with
search, execute, and list_profiles, then earns the rest.
What that buys you:
- compact default surface instead of hundreds of raw endpoint tools
- generated, broad Dokploy coverage underneath
- real workflows for deploys, compose, logs, domains, databases, and profiles
- local
stdio plus hosted HTTP metadata in the same package

Quick Start
Get your API key from Dokploy Settings > Profile > API/CLI.
For env-based setup, start from .env.example.
If your client uses a JSON-style MCP config, this is the whole block:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dokploy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vibetools/dokploy-mcp"],
"env": {
"DOKPLOY_URL": "https://panel.example.com",
"DOKPLOY_API_KEY": "dokp_..."
}
}
}
}
If your client uses CLI-based MCP management:
codex mcp add dokploy \
--env DOKPLOY_URL=https://panel.example.com \
--env DOKPLOY_API_KEY=dokp_... \
-- npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp
claude mcp add --transport stdio \
-e DOKPLOY_URL=https://panel.example.com \
-e DOKPLOY_API_KEY=dokp_... \
dokploy -- npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp
Already authenticated with the Dokploy CLI or local
dokploy-mcp config?
You may not need the env block at all.
Using multiple Dokploy organizations?
Keep one compact MCP server and configure profiles with DOKPLOY_PROFILES_JSON:
{
"mcpServers": {
"dokploy": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["@vibetools/dokploy-mcp"],
"env": {
"DOKPLOY_PROFILES_JSON": "{\"redivo\":{\"url\":\"https://redivo.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_redivo\"},\"personal\":{\"url\":\"https://personal.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_personal\"},\"mezon\":{\"url\":\"https://mezon.example.com\",\"apiKey\":\"dokp_mezon\"}}"
}
}
}
}
Use list_profiles to see the available default and named profile targets without exposing API
keys. Pass profile to execute when you want a named profile instead of the default target:
{
"profile": "redivo",
"code": "return await dokploy.project.all()"
}
search also accepts an optional profile argument for profile-name validation while preserving
the same compact catalog behavior.
Hosted HTTP sessions keep their request-scoped remote credentials bound to the session. Named local
profiles are not exposed there.
Want the wizard path instead of manual config?
npx @vibetools/dokploy-mcp setup

Credits
Forked from Dokploy/mcp. Started at 67 tools, mass-refactored to 377, then rebuilt the whole thing into an architecture that makes the tool count irrelevant.
Mauricio Siu built Dokploy itself -- the PaaS this server talks to. Without the platform, this is a very elaborate way to POST into the void.
Henrique Andrade wrote the original MCP server. 15 commits, every PR merged. The kind of contributor who closes issues instead of opening them.
Contributors who shaped the original: Joshua Macauley -- lucasleal-developer -- Nour Eddine Hamaidi -- Corey -- Azil0ne
Unmerged PRs are still blueprints. That's how open source works -- stolen inspiration with better commit messages.
