list_applications
List all applications in Coolify
LABSCO SUMMARY
A short set of everyday Coolify controls, and nothing in it deletes.
The tools cover the daily loop — see what is on the instance, deploy, start, stop and restart — plus creating projects, databases and servers; none of them removes anything. create_database takes only a name and a type, so anything beyond that is set in Coolify itself. The README recommends a full-access token for this server, and Coolify's token scopes also include read-only, for when the agent should only look.
What it is
A Coolify client with 18 tools across applications, databases, servers, projects and services, plus read-only resources that list each of those and your teams.
What you get
- Applications: list_applications, get_application, create_application from a name with an optional Git repository and branch, and deploy_application, optionally at a tag.
- Runtime control for applications: start_application, stop_application and restart_application, each by application ID.
- Databases: list_databases, and create_database with a name and a type such as postgresql, mysql, mongodb or redis.
- Servers: list_servers, create_server with a name, IP address, SSH port and user, and validate_server to check the connection.
- Projects: list_projects, and create_project with a name and description.
- Services: list_services, start_service and stop_service.
- get_version for the version of the Coolify instance.
Requirements
A reachable Coolify instance and an API token for it: the address goes in COOLIFY_API_URL and the token in COOLIFY_API_TOKEN, both required; COOLIFY_TEAM_ID is optional. Create the token in Coolify under Keys & Tokens > API tokens.

USE CASES
01
Deploying an application that is already in Coolify
Find the application, deploy it (optionally at a tag), then restart it if it needs a clean start.
02
Starting and stopping services
List the services on the instance, then start or stop one by its ID.
03
Adding a server to Coolify
Register the machine with a name, IP address, SSH port and user, then validate the connection before deploying to it.
04
Setting up a project with a database
Create the project, then a database in it by name and type — postgresql, mysql, mongodb or redis, for example.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL
What to know first
Tools you get
18 tools registered in the project's code. It also exposes six read-only resources: coolify://applications, coolify://databases, coolify://servers, coolify://projects, coolify://services and coolify://teams.
Requires
- npx on PATH
- a reachable Coolify instance and an API token for it
- COOLIFY_API_TOKEN in your environment
CONTEXT COST
Light Standing cost
Rated by the size of the 18 tool definitions that ride along on every turn, not by how many there are
INSTALLATION
Connect your client
This one is configured rather than run — your client needs the configuration block, not a command.
