What is the Koyeb MCP server?

Most monitoring and observability work still happens through a UI a human drives. Koyeb MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. Add the following to your .cursor/mcp.json or claude_desktop_config.json.

The short version

  • App Management —
  • List, get, and create Koyeb apps
  • Service Management —
  • List, get, create, and update services within apps
  • Deployment Management —
  • List and get deployments, query build/runtime logs

What it needs from you

Configuration is passed through the environment: KOYEB_TOKEN. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.

Getting it running

The server ships on npm as @koyeb/mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.

How it compares

This sits in the monitoring and observability group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. It is maintained by koyeb; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.

Things to watch

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Missing credentials fail quietly in some clients — if no tools show up, check the environment block first.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Koyeb to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Koyeb directly.
