About railwayapp

This deprecated npm package is a compatibility shim that launches railway mcp from the Railway CLI, which now bundles the Railway MCP server. It suits users with existing configs who need to move to the CLI-based setup.

Key features

  1. 01Compatibility shim for existing configurations
  2. 02Launches local stdio server via railway mcp
  3. 03Client configuration through railway mcp install
  4. 04Optional remote server setup with --remote
  5. 05Migration instructions when the CLI is missing

Use cases

  1. 01Migrating old npx-based MCP client entries to the Railway CLI
  2. 02Configuring supported MCP clients for Railway from the command line

MCP support

The package no longer contains a standalone MCP server; it starts railway mcp as a local stdio MCP server and can also configure the hosted remote MCP server.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

mcp.json · Universal config
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "railwayapp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@railway/mcp-server"
      ]
    }
  }
}
Run commandnpx -y @railway/mcp-server

Local servers need a runtime on your machine (e.g. Node.js 18+). Config file locations differ by client; see your client’s docs.

Details

From the project README

@railway/mcp-server is deprecated

Railway MCP is now bundled into the Railway CLI.

This npm package no longer contains the standalone TypeScript MCP server. It is a compatibility shim that launches:

railway mcp

Migration

Install or upgrade the Railway CLI:

bash <(curl -fsSL https://railway.com/install.sh)

Then configure supported MCP clients:

railway mcp install

To configure the hosted MCP server instead of the local stdio server:

railway mcp install --remote

You can also configure a local MCP client directly with:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "railway": {
      "command": "railway",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Remove old client entries that run:

npx -y @railway/mcp-server

Compatibility

For existing configs that still invoke @railway/mcp-server, this package delegates to railway mcp.

If the Railway CLI is missing, the package exits with migration instructions.

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.
