How do I install the haproxy mcp server?

Use a recorded configuration for your client, replace example credential values and paths, and verify the documented runtime. Restart or reconnect the client, then inspect the available tools.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `HAPROXY_HOST`, `HAPROXY_PORT`, `HAPROXY_RUNTIME_MODE`, `HAPROXY_RUNTIME_TIMEOUT`, `MCP_TRANSPORT`, `HAPROXY_RUNTIME_SOCKET`, `HAPROXY_STATS_ENABLED`, `HAPROXY_STATS_URL` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

Haproxy MCP Server — Tools & Setup

What is the Haproxy MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for HAProxy implemented in Go, leveraging HAProxy Runtime API and mcp-go.

What it actually does

The HAProxy MCP Server provides a standardized way for LLMs to interact with HAProxy's runtime API via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This enables LLMs to perform HAProxy administration tasks, monitor server status, manage backend servers, and analyze traffic patterns, all through natural language interfaces.

Full HAProxy Runtime API Support — Comprehensive coverage of HAProxy's runtime API commands
Context-Aware Operations — All operations support proper timeout and cancellation handling
Stats Page Integration — Support for HAProxy's web-based statistics page for enhanced metrics and visualization
Secure Authentication — Support for secure connections to HAProxy runtime API
Multiple Transport Options — Supports both stdio and HTTP transports for flexibility in different environments
Enterprise Ready — Designed for production use in enterprise environments
