Railway MCP
Official Railway integration — deploy and manage services from Claude without switching to the dashboard. Intentionally excludes destructive actions for safety.
Official Railway MCP server, now bundled into the Railway CLI as 'railway mcp'. Lets Claude list and create projects, deploy services, set variables, generate domains, and retrieve logs; destructive actions (deletion, scaling down) are excluded by design. The old @railway/mcp-server npm package is a deprecated shim that just delegates to the CLI.

2026-04-02: LIMITATION: Mandatory Railway CLI dependency (v4.9.0+ for log filtering). Marked 'work in progress' — tool set still growing.
Things to check
- The @railway/mcp-server npm package is deprecated — it is a compatibility shim that requires the Railway CLI and exits if it is missing; configure via 'railway mcp install' instead and remove old 'npx -y @railway/mcp-server' client entries. Destructive actions (deletion, scaling down) are excluded, so some operations still require the Railway dashboard. Auth relies on your Railway CLI token, not role-based access control.
