Connect it

Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.

Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:

terminal

claude mcp add --transport http railway https://mcp.railway.com

Add --scope user to make it available in every project.

Open Settings → Connectors
Click Add custom connector
Paste https://mcp.railway.com
Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu

Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project:

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "railway": {
      "url": "https://mcp.railway.com"
    }
  }
}

A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.

Add to .vscode/mcp.json:

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "railway": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.railway.com"
    }
  }
}

Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.

Questions

Does Railway have an official MCP server?

Yes. Railway maintains an official MCP server, hosted at https://mcp.railway.com. The source lives at railwayapp/cli on GitHub.

How do I connect Railway to Claude?

Add https://mcp.railway.com as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors in Claude Desktop or claude.ai, or run "claude mcp add --transport http railway https://mcp.railway.com" in Claude Code.

Do I need to install anything to use the Railway MCP server?

No. It is a remote server hosted by Railway, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.

How is this verdict verified?

Railway's docs describe its hosted OAuth MCP server at mcp.railway.com, and the Railway CLI (railwayapp/cli) ships a local server via `railway mcp`. The older railwayapp/railway-mcp-server repo is archived; its @railway/mcp-server package is now a deprecated wrapper that launches the CLI. GitHub metadata is refreshed every six hours.

How we know

GitHub data refreshed on 2026-10-15, and again every six hours.
