Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Manage Scalingo PaaS apps, deployments, containers, logs and env vars from your AI assistant.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

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.

Install

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

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 3 of 3 passed
  • Runs on the maker’s server: what you ask it goes through their server.
  • Can do 21 things (tools) scalingo_list_apps, scalingo_get_app, scalingo_list_containers, scalingo_get_app_stats …
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

Works in Claude on the web, desktop and mobile:

  1. Open Settings → Connectors
  2. Press Add custom connector
  3. Paste the address below and press Add
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Add2https://…3
https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http scalingo https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scalingo": {
      "url": "https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "scalingo": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

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.

ChatGPT connects only to servers on the internet:

  1. Open ChatGPT on the web → Settings → Connectors (Apps)
  2. Press Create or Add (some plans need Developer mode under Advanced first)
  3. Paste the address below, give it a name and save
  4. If it asks you to sign in, sign in with the maker
SettingsConnectors1+ Create2https://…3
https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp

Menu names can differ slightly by plan and over time.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • scalingo_list_apps

    List all Scalingo apps you can access in the current region. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps. Returns { apps: [...] }.

  • scalingo_get_app

    Fetch a single app's details (region, stack, status, URLs, flags). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}. Returns { app }.

  • scalingo_list_containers

    List an app's container formation — the running process types with their amount and size (the current scaling). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/containers. Returns { containers: [{ name, amount, size }] }.

  • scalingo_get_app_stats

    Real-time per-container resource stats (CPU / memory / swap usage) for an app. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/stats. Returns { stats: [...] }.

  • scalingo_list_deployments

    List an app's deployments (most recent first), paginated. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/deployments. Returns { deployments: [...], meta: { pagination } }.

  • scalingo_get_deployment

    Fetch a single deployment's details (status, git_ref, pusher, image size, timestamps). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/deployments/{deployment_id}. Returns { deployment }.

  • scalingo_get_app_logs

    Fetch recent application log lines. Scalingo returns an authenticated logs_url (GET /v1/apps/{app}/logs → { logs_url }); this tool then downloads the last N lines from it (dump mode) and returns them as text. Returns { logs_url, lines }. If the follow-up download fails, only logs

  • scalingo_list_variables

    List an app's environment variables. WARNING: this exposes secret VALUES (API keys, database URLs, etc.). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/variables. Returns { variables: [{ id, name, value }] }.

  • scalingo_list_collaborators

    List an app's collaborators (users invited to the app) and their status. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/collaborators. Returns { collaborators: [...] }.

  • scalingo_list_domains

    List an app's custom domains and their TLS/canonical status. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/domains. Returns { domains: [...] }.

  • scalingo_list_addons

    List the addons (databases, services) provisioned on an app. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/addons. Returns { addons: [...] }.

  • scalingo_list_addon_providers

    List the addon providers available on Scalingo (databases, monitoring, etc.) with their plans embedded. Scalingo API: GET /v1/addon_providers. Returns { addon_providers: [{ ..., plans: [...] }] }.

  • scalingo_list_app_events

    List an app's activity events (deployments, scaling, restarts, collaborator changes, etc.), paginated. Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/events. Returns { events: [...], meta: { pagination } }.

  • scalingo_get_operation

    Poll the status of an asynchronous operation (e.g. a scale or restart returns an operation to track). Scalingo API: GET /v1/apps/{app}/operations/{operation_id}. Returns { operation } with status pending|running|done|error.

  • scalingo_list_regions

    List the Scalingo regions available to your account, each with its API/dashboard/database hosts. Useful to discover the right SCALINGO_REGION. Scalingo API: GET (auth host) /v1/regions. Returns { regions: [...] }.

  • scalingo_get_account

    Fetch the authenticated user's account (id, email, username, fullname, company). Scalingo API: GET /v1/users/self. Returns { user }.

  • scalingo_request

    Power-user escape hatch: GET any Scalingo API path not wrapped by a dedicated tool. READ-ONLY — only GET is allowed. Path is taken after /v1 (e.g. "/apps/my-app/alerts"). By default hits the regional API; set on_auth_host:true for auth-host resources (regions, scm_integrations, t

  • scalingo_restart_app

    MUTATES Scalingo infrastructure — restarts an app's containers. Optionally restart only specific process types via scope; omit scope to restart everything. Returns 202 Accepted (track via scalingo_get_operation). Scalingo API: POST /v1/apps/{app}/restart.

  • scalingo_scale_app

    MUTATES Scalingo infrastructure — sets the container formation (number and/or size of each process type). Only the container types you include are changed. Returns 202 Accepted (track via scalingo_get_operation). Scalingo API: POST /v1/apps/{app}/scale.

  • scalingo_set_variables

    MUTATES Scalingo infrastructure — creates or updates environment variables in bulk (each { name, value } is created if new or updated if it exists). This usually triggers a restart to apply the new env. Names ≤64 chars, values ≤8192 chars. Scalingo API: PUT /v1/apps/{app}/variabl

  • scalingo_trigger_deployment

    MUTATES Scalingo infrastructure — triggers a new deployment from a source archive URL (a tar.gz reachable by Scalingo). To roll back, re-deploy a previous git_ref/archive — there is no separate rollback endpoint. Scalingo API: POST /v1/apps/{app}/deployments. Returns { deployment

Common questions

Is Scalingo MCP by usefulapi safe?

It passed 3 of 3 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?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

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 (1.36.3) reached the registry yesterday.

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?

Scalingo MCP by usefulapi

Inspect and operate your Scalingo PaaS apps — deploy, scale, restart and read logs — from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hosted, no local install — connect with your Scalingo API token.

Live endpoint: https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/scalingo

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http scalingo https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{

"mcpServers": { "scalingo": { "url": "https://scalingo.usefulapi.io/mcp" } } }

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Scalingo credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/scalingo/

On first connect you'll paste your Scalingo API token. It's validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you.
