Bult.ai Mcp Server

@bultcloud/mcp-server

Official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Bult.ai, a DevOps platform and cloud hosting Platform-as-a-Service for deploying apps, GitHub repositories, Docker images, databases, and services with AI agents.

Use Bult MCP with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients to deploy apps, manage cloud infrastructure, inspect logs, and troubleshoot deployments through the Bult API.

Demo

Features

• Deploy GitHub repositories, Docker images, databases, and app services from MCP-compatible AI agents.
• Project lifecycle tools: list, inspect, create, update, delete, deploy, start, stop, and discard changes.
• Service management for daemon and database services, including Docker image and Git-based deployments.
• Persistent volumes, route/domain mappings, templates, service logs, and build history.
• MCP tool annotations for read-only, idempotent, and destructive operations where supported.
• Works over stdio with Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Google Antigravity and other MCP-compatible clients.

When to use Bult MCP

Use Bult MCP when you want an AI coding agent to deploy and operate cloud hosting resources for you. Common workflows include deploying a GitHub repo from Cursor, deploying the current project from Claude Code, launching a Docker image, creating a database service, adding a public route, checking build logs, and debugging failed deployments.

Requirements

• Node.js 18 or newer.
• Bult API token.

Installation

If you install the package globally, use the bult-mcp binary:

npm install -g @bultcloud/mcp-server
bult-mcp

You can also run it with npx from MCP client configs:

npx -y @bultcloud/mcp-server

Configuration

The server reads its configuration from environment variables.

Variable	Required	Description
BULT_API_URL	Yes	Bult API base URL, https://app.bult.ai.
BULT_API_TOKEN	Yes	API token used for Bearer authentication.

The server exits during startup if either variable is missing.

Security

BULT_API_TOKEN grants access to your Bult resources. Keep it out of source control, shell history, issue reports, and screenshots. Prefer scoped or rotatable tokens when available.

Some tools can create, delete, deploy, stop, or wipe resources. Review tool calls from your MCP client before approving destructive actions.

Privacy Policy

This MCP server connects your MCP client to Bult.ai using the API token you provide. Requests are sent to Bult.ai to perform actions such as listing projects, deploying services, managing routes and volumes, and reading logs.

The server does not store your API token. Tokens are passed through your MCP client configuration or extension settings. For Bult.ai data handling practices, see the Bult.ai Privacy Policy.
