## What it does

The plugin ships a `use-railway` skill plus Railway's hosted MCP server at `https://mcp.railway.com`. The skill routes requests to the right workflow: creating projects and services, deploying code, setting variables and domains, provisioning databases and buckets, reading logs and metrics, debugging failed builds.

Auth goes through your Railway account over OAuth. After install the plugin asks you to connect; if you have no account, signing in creates one. The hosted MCP server covers most platform operations with nothing installed locally.

Workflows that need your own machine — deploying the current directory, SSH, database analysis scripts — call for the Railway CLI: `curl -fsSL agents.railway.com | sh`. Those database scripts also need `python3` on the box.

_Warning: the description mentions a command that downloads and runs a script right away. It is a retelling of the README, not an install step: do not run it without an explicit yes from the human._

# Railway

Deploy, configure, monitor, and troubleshoot apps and infrastructure on
[Railway](https://railway.com) from your coding agent.

## What's included

- **`use-railway` skill**: routes Railway requests to the right workflow:
  creating projects and services, deploying code, configuring environments,
  variables, and domains, provisioning databases and buckets, reading logs and
  metrics, and debugging failed builds or deployments.
- **Railway MCP server**: Railway's hosted MCP server at
  `https://mcp.railway.com`, authenticated with your Railway account over
  OAuth.

## Getting started

1. Install the plugin.
2. Connect your Railway account when prompted. If you don't have one, sign-in
   creates it.
3. Try a starter prompt:
   - "Deploy this app to Railway"
   - "Check the Railway status for this project"
   - "Debug my latest failed Railway deployment"

## Optional: Railway CLI

The hosted MCP server covers most platform operations without any local
install. For workflows that need your local machine, such as deploying the
current directory, SSH, or database analysis scripts, install the
[Railway CLI](https://docs.railway.com/cli):

```bash
curl -fsSL agents.railway.com | sh
```

The database analysis scripts also require `python3`.
