What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

Connection: Runs in the cloud
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Category: Developer tools
You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
You fill in yourself: Authorization

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http tugport 'https://{panel_host}/mcp' --header 'Authorization: Bearer {api_key}'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

The address contains {…} parts that only you know (such as your account), so copy it and fill them in.

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tugport": {
      "url": "https://{panel_host}/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer {api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Common questions

Is Tugport safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.30) reached the registry 9 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Tugport Deploy your apps to servers you own, from one small Rust binary.

Tugport is a self-hosted deploy platform in the spirit of Coolify and Easypanel, built as a single Rust binary that runs next to Docker. Install it on a Linux server with systemd (x86_64 or arm64):

curl -fsSL https://tugport.com/install | sh

The installer sets up Docker if it is missing, starts Tugport as a system service and prints a one-time link for creating the owner account. Tugport is young (0.1.x), so expect rough edges.

What it does

Deploys on push from GitHub, Forgejo, Gitea, GitLab or any Git server with a deploy key, built with your Dockerfile, Railpack, Nixpacks or buildpacks. A new version gets traffic only after its health check passes, and rolling back takes one click.
Apps, Compose stacks and databases (Postgres, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis) with domains, automatic HTTPS, environment, volumes and limits.
Logs and charts for every server and service, with alerts to Telegram, email or a webhook.
AI agents as users: an agent gets a scoped API key in one step, works through the API, the CLI or the MCP endpoint with the same permissions, and every action lands in the audit log.
Secrets that stay secret: encrypted at rest, delivered only to the containers that use them, and masked everywhere else.
More servers and regions joined by an encrypted WireGuard mesh, with cloud servers created at Hetzner or AWS, autoscaling, scale to zero and database replicas.
Backups of databases and volumes to S3-compatible storage or a disk, with test restores.
Automatic updates of Tugport itself without dropping traffic, on by default and off with one setting.
Moving from Easypanel or Coolify in one command while the apps keep running, with a rollback.

There is deliberately no app store, no one-click templates, no teams or organizations and no telemetry.

Security notes

Containers cannot reach the panel through the addresses configured on their own server, the server mesh or Tugport's internal endpoints. An address that lives on a NAT gateway instead, such as an EC2 Elastic IP or a home router's port forward, sends their traffic out and back in like any outside client's, so on such servers close the panel's port (8484) in the cloud firewall and use the panel through its domain.
Privileged mode, the Docker socket, host networking, bind mounts and extra capabilities stay off unless an admin with the destroy grant turns them on.
The master key is sealed to the server's TPM when it has one, otherwise kept in a root-only key file. Keep the recovery key the installer prints.
