MCP Integration

Zeabur MCP Server

Zeabur provides an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows you to manage and deploy your Zeabur projects in AI applications that support MCP.

Introduction to MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol designed to standardize how applications provide context to large language models (LLMs). It serves as a “USB-C connector” for AI applications, enabling AI models to easily connect to different data sources and tools.

With Zeabur’s MCP server, you can directly manage your cloud services in Claude or other AI assistants that support MCP, without having to switch to the Zeabur console.

Installing Zeabur MCP Server

Prerequisites

  • An AI assistant that supports MCP (such as Claude Desktop or Cursor)
  • A Zeabur account and API Token

Setup Steps

  1. Get your Zeabur API Token

    Please refer to Integrate with Zeabur using API Key to obtain your API Token.

  2. Add the following to your AI assistant’s MCP configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "zeabur": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "zeabur-mcp@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ZEABUR_TOKEN": "sk-xxxxxx"  // Replace with your actual API Token
      }
    }
  }
}
  1. Restart your AI assistant, and the Zeabur MCP server will automatically start and connect.

Using Zeabur MCP

Once the Zeabur MCP server is set up, you can perform the following operations in AI assistants that support MCP:

  • Create new Zeabur projects
  • Deploy applications to Zeabur
  • View and manage service status
  • Configure environment variables
  • Bind domains
  • View deployment logs
  • Execute database commands
  • More cloud service management features

Examples

Here are some example conversations for using Zeabur MCP through an AI assistant:

Creating a new project:

Please help me create a new project on Zeabur

Deploying an application:

Deploy this Node.js application to my Zeabur project

Binding a domain:

Help me bind a subdomain to my Zeabur service

Viewing logs:

Show me the logs of my recently deployed application
