- 01Create and manage apps and services
- 02Push files and manage code
- 03Deploy apps and inspect build logs
- 04View logs and metrics, scale services
- 05Manage secrets, Postgres, and users
- 06Manage releases and versions
Use cases
- 01Have an agent deploy a web app or API
- 02Query an app's managed Postgres database
- 03Investigate build or runtime issues
- 04Restore an earlier application version
MCP support
The server uses Streamable HTTP and OAuth 2.1 with PKCE. Tool discovery is available without sign-in; tool calls require sign-in.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

What your agent can do
| Area | Tools |
|---|---|
| Apps | runzero_create_app, runzero_list_apps, runzero_get_app, runzero_delete_app |
| Code | runzero_push_files (one atomic commit into a managed Git repo), runzero_list_files, runzero_read_file, runzero_upload_assets |
| Deploy | runzero_deploy, runzero_wait_for_build, runzero_list_builds, runzero_get_build_logs, runzero_rebuild_service, runzero_deploy_preview |
| Run | runzero_get_logs, runzero_get_metrics, runzero_scale_service, runzero_add_service, runzero_delete_service |
| Config | runzero_set_secrets, runzero_list_secrets, runzero_delete_secret, runzero_describe_addon |
| Data | runzero_db_query against the app's managed Postgres |
| Releases | runzero_list_releases, runzero_restore_release, runzero_list_versions, runzero_activate_version, runzero_publish |
| Login for your app | runzero_create_user, runzero_list_users, runzero_set_user_enabled, runzero_create_identity_provider and more (managed Keycloak realm per app) |
| Help | runzero_get_help (workflow, files, addons, procfile, domains) |
The platform builds with buildpacks (Node.js, Python, Go, PHP, Java). The web process listens on $PORT. A run-zero.yaml declares several services and the addons postgres and keycloak. Every service gets https://<service>-<app>.run-zero.de with TLS, and custom domains get a Let's Encrypt certificate.

Comments
New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
