It signs in with OAuth, and a local server runs through the Railway CLI. It can redeploy services and create projects, and no read-only mode is documented.

Safety check

Pass
Publisher verified
Documented on docs.railway.com, endpoint on mcp.railway.com, and the Claude directory lists it as made by Railway and Anthropic verified.
Pass
Auth model
OAuth with short-lived tokens; you pick which workspaces and projects the client can reach, and tokens are revocable in account settings. Project tokens are not accepted.
Flag
Write and delete access
Tools can create projects, redeploy, accept staged deploys and delete feature flags. Destructive tools carry protocol-level hints so clients can prompt, but no read-only mode is documented. Docs advise using non-critical environments.
Pass
Tool-description injection scan
Read both docs pages and the Claude directory tool list (names only); no text addressed to an AI was found. Hosted tool descriptions were not retrieved.
Unknown
Repo maintenance
No public source for the hosted server was found. The older standalone repo railwayapp/railway-mcp-server is archived (last push 2026-05-23, 190 stars) and its docs now point to the CLI route.

FAQ

Does Railway have an official MCP server?

Is Railway a Claude connector?

Yes. The Claude directory lists Railway as made by Railway and Anthropic verified, with 16 tools.

How does it authenticate?

Through your Railway login via the CLI, or OAuth in the browser. Project tokens are not accepted.

Can it delete things?

The remote server can redeploy and delete feature flags; the local server can remove services, volumes and domains. Destructive tools ask for confirmation in clients that honor the hints.
