MCP server for Hatchbox Rails hosting — env var inspection, deploys, and process monitoring.

Install

claude mcp add hatchbox -- npx -y [email protected]

Requires: HATCHBOX_API_KEY, HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID, HATCHBOX_APP_ID, HATCHBOX_DEPLOY_KEY, WEB_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS, SSH_KEY_PATH, HATCHBOX_APP_NAME, READONLY, ALLOW_DEPLOYS

Our take

Niche server from PulseMCP's monorepo for Hatchbox, the managed Rails hosting service: it manages environment variables, triggers deployments, and checks deploy status via Hatchbox's API, with the quirk that reading env var values requires SSH access to your server (IP plus private key) since the API only writes them. Security defaults are sane — read-only mode unless you flip READONLY=false, with a separate ALLOW_DEPLOYS switch — and setup needs four Hatchbox credentials including a deploy webhook key. It shares the monorepo's traits: MIT, TypeScript, actively maintained, but 'experimental' tier — explicitly not graduated to their productionized set — v0.0.1, and ~57 npm downloads/week, about right for the size of the Hatchbox audience. For Rails shops on Hatchbox who want their agent to manage config and ship deploys; everyone else has no use for it.
