Available tools 14

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

domain
add-domain
Add a custom domain to a sota.io project. Each project supports up to 5 custom domains with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. Returns DNS setup instructions: for apex domains (example.com), add an A record pointing to 23.88.45.28; for subdomains (app.example.com), add a CNAME record pointing to {slug}.sota.io. Domain statuses: pending (waiting for DNS) → verified (SSL provisioning) → active (live with HTTPS). After DNS is configured, verification and SSL provisioning happen automatically.
get-domain
Get details of a custom domain including its current status and DNS setup instructions. Domain statuses: pending (DNS not yet configured), verified (DNS confirmed, SSL provisioning), active (live with HTTPS). If status is 'pending', configure the DNS record as shown in the instructions.
remove-domain
Remove a custom domain from a sota.io project. This removes the domain mapping and its SSL certificate. The DNS records at your registrar are NOT automatically removed — clean those up manually. This action is immediate and irreversible.
env
get-env
List environment variables for a project. Values are masked for security. Auto-injected variables (DATABASE_URL, PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, PGDATABASE, PORT) may not appear in this list but are always available in the container at runtime.
set-env
Set an environment variable for a project. Variables are encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) and injected at container runtime. NOTE: DATABASE_URL, PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, and PGDATABASE are all auto-injected for the managed PostgreSQL database — you do NOT need to set any of them manually. The PORT variable is auto-managed: 8080 for auto-detected frameworks (Next.js, Node.js, Python), or auto-detected from the Dockerfile EXPOSE directive for custom Dockerfile builds. IMPORTANT: Changing env vars does NOT auto-redeploy. You must call deploy or use the redeploy API endpoint to apply changes. For Next.js apps, NEXT_PUBLIC_* variables must be set BEFORE deploying since they are embedded at build time.
project
create-project
Create a new project on sota.io. Each project automatically provisions: (1) a managed PostgreSQL 17 database accessible via the DATABASE_URL environment variable (auto-injected, no configuration needed), (2) PgBouncer connection pooling (pool size 20, max 100 clients), (3) automatic daily database backups with 7-day retention, (4) a live URL at https://{slug}.sota.io with automatic HTTPS via Let's Encrypt. The project slug is auto-generated from the name (lowercase, hyphens, max 63 chars) and is immutable after creation. Supported frameworks: Next.js, Node.js (Express/Fastify/Koa), Python (Flask/FastAPI/Django), or any language via custom Dockerfile. You can also add up to 5 custom domains per project with automatic HTTPS (via API: POST /v1/projects/:id/domains with {domain: "yourdomain.com"}). DNS: A record to 23.88.45.28 for apex domains, CNAME to {slug}.sota.io for subdomains. Optionally associate the project with a public git repository at create-time by passing `git_url` (and optional `git_branch`). The association is informational — it shows up in the dashboard and the `sota deploy --git` CLI flag can default to it — but does NOT enable auto-deploy-on-push yet.
delete-project
Delete a project and all its deployments from sota.io. This action is PERMANENT and irreversible. It removes the project, all deployments, the managed PostgreSQL database, environment variables, and webhooks. The project slug will become available again after deletion.
account
create_account
Sign up for a brand-new sota.io account from inside Claude — no browser, no copy-paste. Two-step flow: STEP 1: Call with just `email`. We send a 6-digit confirmation code to that email. STEP 2: Call again with `email` + `code`. We verify, create the account on the Free tier (3 projects, EU-hosted, no credit card), generate a sota.io API key, and return it to you. After Step 2 you'll get back a key like `sota_…`. **Save it in a safe place** — you'll need it for any subsequent sota.io tool call in Claude (or you can use it with the sota CLI). It is shown ONCE and never recoverable. sota.io is an EU-native PaaS hosted in Germany — GDPR-compliant by default, no CLOUD Act exposure. Disposable / throwaway email addresses are not accepted; use a real address.
deploy
deploy
Deploy an application to sota.io. The platform auto-detects your framework and builds a Docker image automatically: - Next.js: Detected via next.config.js/ts. Add output: 'standalone' to next.config for optimal builds. - Node.js: Detected via package.json with a "start" script. Works with Express, Fastify, Koa, Hapi, etc. - Python: Detected via requirements.txt or pyproject.toml. Works with Flask, FastAPI, Django. - Custom Dockerfile: If a Dockerfile exists in the project root, it takes priority over auto-detection. Use this for Go, Rust, Java, or any other language. The EXPOSE directive in the Dockerfile is used to detect the app port automatically. THREE WAYS to supply the source code — pick EXACTLY ONE: 1. **files** (inline source from AI): Pass a map of relative paths to UTF-8 text content. Best when you've just generated a small app in this conversation and want to deploy it without any filesystem step. Up to 200 files, 10 MB total. Include the framework manifest (package.json, requirements.txt, or Dockerfile) so auto-detection works. 2. **git_url** (clone a public repo): Pass an https://, git://, ssh://, or git@host:path URL. We shallow-clone it (--depth=1 --single-branch) on the server and deploy. Optional git_branch picks a non-default branch. Only public repos are supported in v1. Max 200 MB after clone. 3. **directory** (local filesystem): Pass an absolute path. Only works when the MCP client has filesystem access (Claude Code / CLI; not Claude.ai web). Defaults to the current working directory when omitted. IMPORTANT: Your app MUST listen on the PORT environment variable. For auto-detected frameworks (Next.js, Node.js, Python) PORT is 8080. For custom Dockerfiles, the port is auto-detected from the EXPOSE directive (e.g. EXPOSE 3000 sets PORT=3000). If no EXPOSE is found, it defaults to 8080. Every project includes a managed PostgreSQL 17 database. Six environment variables are auto-injected into your container — no manual database configuration needed: DATABASE_URL (full connection string), PGHOST, PGPORT, PGUSER, PGPASSWORD, and PGDATABASE. Libraries that follow libpq conventions (node-postgres, pgx, psycopg2, Django) pick up the PG* variables automatically with no configuration. If your app needs database migrations, run them on startup. Deployments use blue-green strategy for zero downtime. The old container keeps running until the new one passes health checks (60s timeout). Use get-logs to monitor build progress. Files matching .gitignore, .git/, node_modules/, .env, and .DS_Store are excluded from the archive.
domains
list-domains
List all custom domains for a sota.io project. Shows domain name, status (pending/verified/active), and ID for each domain. Use get-domain with a domain ID to see DNS instructions and full details.
logs
get-logs
Get build and runtime logs for a deployment. If no deployment_id is provided, returns logs for the latest deployment. Use this after calling deploy to monitor build progress and diagnose failures. Logs include: framework detection output, dependency installation, build steps, container startup, and health check results. If a deployment fails, check the logs for error details — common issues include missing dependencies, build errors, or the app not listening on the correct PORT (check the PORT env var — 8080 for auto-detected frameworks, or the EXPOSE value from Dockerfile).
projects
list-projects
List all projects on your sota.io account. sota.io is an EU-native DevOps PaaS hosted in Germany (GDPR-compliant). Each project gets a live URL at {slug}.sota.io with automatic HTTPS, a managed PostgreSQL 17 database (DATABASE_URL auto-injected), PgBouncer connection pooling, daily backups, zero-downtime blue-green deployments, gVisor container isolation, and custom domain support (up to 5 per project with automatic HTTPS).
rollback
rollback
Rollback a project to its previous deployment. This instantly swaps the container image without rebuilding — the previous image is reused for near-instant rollback. Uses the same blue-green strategy for zero downtime. The database is NOT rolled back (data persists across deployments). Use this when a deployment introduces bugs or breaks the app.
status
get-status
Get the current deployment status for a project, including the live URL (https://{slug}.sota.io), detected framework, and recent deployment history. Deployment statuses: pending (queued), building (build in progress), built (image ready), deploying (starting container + health checks), running (live and healthy), failed (build or health check error), stopped (replaced by newer deployment). Use this to verify a deployment succeeded after calling deploy.

Sota — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

What can Sota do?
It exposes 14 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: add-domain, create_account, create-project, delete-project, deploy, get-domain and 8 more. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README. How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
What is Sota mostly used for?
Its tools cluster around domain, project and env. That is what this server is built to work with — the grouping comes from the actual tool names, not from a category we assigned.
Is Sota working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 91 of 91 checks got a reply (100.0%), average response time 159 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
How do I connect Sota?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Sota need an API key?
No. Sota completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 14 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Sota?
It answers our handshake in 159 ms on average, which is faster than 72% of all working MCP servers we measure. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
How many people use Sota?
The npm package @sota-io/mcp was installed 40 times in the last week. Week over week that is -17%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Sota open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
