## What this server does

Heroku's official MCP server lets the assistant operate your apps through the Platform API: list apps, read config and add-ons, inspect and scale dynos, run one-off commands, and tail logs. During a deploy or an incident the model can check what is running, read the logs, and scale a process type without you switching to the CLI. The API token scopes what it can do, so a token from a least-privilege account keeps the surface bounded. Pair it with a logs question and the model can tell you why a release is unhealthy.

## Tools included

-   list\_apps
    
    List your Heroku apps.
    
-   get\_app\_info
    
    Read details and config for an app.
    
-   list\_dynos
    
    List the dynos running for an app.
    
-   scale\_dyno
    
    Scale a process type up or down.
    
-   view\_logs
    
    Stream recent app logs.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

Copy

## Example prompts

-   "List my Heroku apps and which ones have web dynos running."
    
    Copy
-   "Show the last 200 log lines for the api app and flag any errors."
    
    Copy
-   "Scale the worker dynos on staging-api up to two."
    
    Copy

## Security notes

The API token can read and change your apps, including scaling dynos and reading config vars that often hold other services' secrets. Treat it as a high-value credential, scope it to a least-privilege account, and rotate it from the account dashboard if it leaks. Config vars returned by get\_app\_info may expose downstream credentials, so be careful what you echo into chat.
