MCP server

Connect your agent to Simplifyd.

Our MCP server lets your AI agent create services, set variables, deploy and read logs for you. Every agent below connects to the same address, https://mcp.simplifyd.com. There is nothing to install and no token to paste: the first time the agent connects, your browser opens and you approve it.

Connect

Pick your agent.

Each one keeps its MCP servers in a different place. Add the config shown, then sign in when your browser opens.

Claude

On claude.ai and the Claude desktop app. A connector you add on one shows up on the others, including the mobile apps.

  1. Add a custom connector

    Open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.

  2. Paste the URL

    Name it Simplifyd and paste the address shown here. Leave the advanced settings empty.

  3. Connect

    Choose Connect, sign in to Simplifyd and pick the workspaces Claude may use.

  4. Turn it on in a chat

    Open the tools menu under the message box and switch on Simplifyd.

On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds the connector for the organisation first. Everyone then connects their own account.

Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector

Claude Code

In the terminal, and in the VS Code and JetBrains extensions, which read the same settings.

  1. Add the server

    Run the command. Add --scope user to have it in every project, not just this one.

  2. Sign in

    Start Claude Code, run /mcp, choose simplifyd and then Authenticate.

  3. Or share it with your team

    Commit .mcp.json to the root of the repo. Each person is asked to approve it and signs in with their own account.

terminal
$ claude mcp add --transport http simplifyd https://mcp.simplifyd.com
.mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simplifyd": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.simplifyd.com"
    }
  }
}

ChatGPT

On chatgpt.com, for Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu workspaces. It isn't available in the desktop or mobile apps yet.

  1. Turn on developer mode

    Open Settings → Apps → Advanced settings and switch on Developer mode. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin has to give you access first.

  2. Create the app

    In Settings → Apps, choose Create. Name it Simplifyd, paste the address shown here and pick OAuth.

  3. Sign in

    Choose Scan Tools, sign in to Simplifyd and pick the workspaces ChatGPT may use. Then choose Create.

  4. Use it in a chat

    Pick Simplifyd from the tools menu, or @mention it. ChatGPT asks you to confirm before it changes anything.

The app starts as a draft that only you can use. An admin or owner publishes it for the workspace from Workspace settings → Apps. On Pro, ChatGPT can read your account but can't deploy or change anything.

Codex

The Codex CLI and the Codex IDE extension share one file, ~/.codex/config.toml, so setting it up in one sets up both.

  1. Add the server

    Run codex mcp add, or add the two lines to config.toml yourself.

  2. Sign in

    Run codex mcp login simplifyd. Your browser opens to approve it.

  3. Check it

    Run /mcp inside Codex to see the server and its tools.

terminal
$ codex mcp add simplifyd --url https://mcp.simplifyd.com
$ codex mcp login simplifyd
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.simplifyd]
url = "https://mcp.simplifyd.com"

Cursor

Put it in .cursor/mcp.json in a project, or in ~/.cursor/mcp.json to have it in every project.

  1. Add the config

    Create the file, or add the simplifyd entry to the one you have.

  2. Sign in

    Open Cursor Settings, find simplifyd in the MCP list and choose Connect.

  3. Use it

    Ask for it in the Agent chat. Cursor asks before each tool runs unless you allow it.

.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simplifyd": {
      "url": "https://mcp.simplifyd.com"
    }
  }
}

GitHub Copilot

Copilot Chat in VS Code. Put it in .vscode/mcp.json for one workspace, or run MCP: Open User Configuration to have it everywhere.

  1. Add the config

    Note the top-level key is servers, not mcpServers.

  2. Start it

    Choose Start above the entry in the file. VS Code asks you to sign in; allow it and approve in your browser.

  3. Use it in Agent mode

    Switch Copilot Chat to Agent and turn on the Simplifyd tools from the tools button.

.vscode/mcp.json
{
  "servers": {
    "simplifyd": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.simplifyd.com"
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Windsurf keeps one MCP file for all projects, ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json.

  1. Add the config

    Open the MCP settings from Cascade and choose View raw config, or edit the file directly. The key is serverUrl.

  2. Refresh

    Choose Refresh in the MCP panel so Cascade picks it up.

  3. Sign in

    Your browser opens to approve it the first time Cascade connects.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "simplifyd": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.simplifyd.com"
    }
  }
}

Lovable

In Lovable's project chat and Chats. It gives the chat access to your Simplifyd account. Apps you publish from Lovable can't use it.

  1. Add an MCP server

    Open Connectors from the dashboard, choose + in the top right, then MCP server.

  2. Paste the URL

    Name it Simplifyd, keep Direct connection, paste the address shown here and leave authentication on OAuth.

  3. Authorize

    Choose Add & authorize, sign in to Simplifyd and pick the workspaces Lovable may use.

Each person on a Lovable workspace connects their own account. If MCP server is greyed out, a workspace admin has turned it off.

Using something else? Any agent that supports MCP over HTTP can connect. Give it https://mcp.simplifyd.com and it finds the sign-in on its own.

How it works

What happens the first time.

  1. Your browser opens

    The agent sends you to Simplifyd to sign in. You never give it your password.

  2. You choose what it can reach

    Share every workspace or only some. The rest stay hidden from the agent.

  3. The agent gets to work

    It can do what your role allows, and nothing more. A developer cannot reach billing, whatever the agent asks for.

claude code
> Create a Postgres database called db in staging
  and give the api service its DATABASE_URL

✓ create-service       db · postgres · 20 GB
✓ add-service-variable api · DATABASE_URL=${{db.DATABASE_URL}}
· Changes to api are waiting for approval.

Changes to a service wait as a changeset until they are approved, so nothing reaches your environment by accident.

What it can do

Most of the console, from a chat.

  • Workspaces

    See usage and spending, add and remove members, change roles, and add funds.

  • Projects and environments

    Create them, and manage the variables every service in an environment shares.

  • Services

    Create, change and delete services, with their variables, domains, TCP ports and config files.

  • Deployments

    Deploy, redeploy and stop services, list past deployments and read their logs.

  • Registry

    List the images in your workspace's registry and clean up old tags.

  • Tokens

    Create and revoke project tokens for CI.

Without a browser

Using a token instead.

In CI, or anywhere the sign-in page cannot open, send a Simplifyd API token in the Authorization header. Create one in the console, or ask your agent to run create-token. Keep it in an environment variable, not in a file you commit.

Questions

Common questions

Does it cost anything?
No. The MCP server is free. You pay for the services the agent creates, at the same rates as everything else.
Will the agent see my passwords?
Not usually. Answers leave out variable values, passwords and connection strings. Only tools that say they show credentials return them, and deployment logs are filtered for common secret patterns first.
How do I disconnect an agent?
Connected apps are listed in your account settings, with what each can reach and when it was last used. Removing one stops it on its next request.
Can it deploy to production by accident?
Changes to a service wait as a changeset until approved, and deploys are separate tool calls. Most agents can also ask you before each tool runs; it is worth turning that on for deploy and delete.
Can I run the server on my own machine?
Yes. The same server runs locally over stdio and signs in with SIMPLIFYD_API_TOKEN. The hosted address is the option with nothing to set up.
The sign-in page never opened. What now?
Check the URL is exactly https://mcp.simplifyd.com, then start the sign-in again: /mcp in Claude Code, codex mcp login simplifyd in Codex, or Connect in the other agents' MCP settings.
