What you can do with the Heroku MCP server

Ask your agent in plain language. Each of these maps to a real tool on the server.

  • Use the scale formation tool in Heroku
  • Use the manage collaborators tool in Heroku
  • Use the list apps tool in Heroku
  • Use the get account tool in Heroku
  • Use the update app tool in Heroku
  • Use the create app tool in Heroku

Supported Tools

scale_formation

Scale Formation

View or scale dyno formations for a Heroku app. List current formation to see process types, quantities, and sizes, or scale by updating quantity and size per process type.

manage_collaborators

Manage Collaborators

List, add, or remove collaborators who have access to a Heroku app. Collaborators can deploy and manage the app based on their permissions.

list_apps

List Apps

List all Heroku applications accessible to the authenticated user. Returns app names, regions, stacks, URLs, and ownership details.

get_account

Get Account

Retrieve the authenticated user's Heroku account details including email, verification status, and two-factor authentication status.

update_app

Update App

Update a Heroku application's settings. Can rename the app, toggle maintenance mode, or change the build stack.

create_app

Create App

Create a new Heroku application. Optionally specify a name, region, and stack. If no name is provided, Heroku generates one automatically.

delete_app

Delete App

Permanently delete a Heroku application. This action is irreversible and removes all associated resources including add-ons, dynos, and config vars.

manage_addons

Manage Add-ons

List, provision, update, or remove add-on services for a Heroku app. Use **action** to specify the operation: - `list`: List all add-ons for an app (or all add-ons across apps). - `get`: Get details of a specific add-on. - `create`: Provision a new add-on for an app. - `update`: Change plan or name of an existing add-on. - `delete`: Remove an add-on from an app.

manage_dynos

Manage Dynos

List running dynos, run one-off dynos, or restart dynos for a Heroku app. Use **action** to specify the operation: - `list`: List all running dynos. - `run`: Run a one-off dyno with a command (e.g., `bash`, `rails console`). - `restart`: Restart a specific dyno or all dynos.

manage_log_drains

Manage Log Drains

List, add, or remove log drains for a Heroku app. Log drains forward application logs to external services like Papertrail, Datadog, or custom syslog endpoints.

manage_releases

Manage Releases

List releases, get release details, or rollback to a previous release for a Heroku app. Releases track each deployment and config change, allowing you to roll back if needed.

get_app

Get App

Retrieve detailed information about a specific Heroku app by its name or ID. Returns full app configuration including region, stack, URLs, maintenance status, and ownership.

manage_config_vars

Manage Config Vars

Read or update environment configuration variables for a Heroku app. Config vars are used to store credentials, API keys, database URLs, and other environment-specific settings. Requires **read-protected** or **write-protected** OAuth scopes.

manage_builds

Manage Builds

List, get, or create builds for a Heroku app. Builds compile source code into slugs that can be deployed as releases. Use this for non-interactive CI/CD workflows.

manage_pipelines

Manage Pipelines

Manage Heroku Pipelines for continuous delivery workflows. List, create, update, or delete pipelines, manage pipeline couplings that link apps to stages, and promote releases between pipeline apps.

manage_domains

Manage Domains

List, add, or remove custom domains for a Heroku app. Custom domains allow users to access apps via their own domain names instead of the default `.herokuapp.com` domain.

create_log_session

Create Log Session

Create a temporary Heroku Logplex session URL for streaming recent or live app logs. Use this to inspect runtime output without configuring a persistent log drain.

manage_buildpacks

Manage Buildpacks

List, replace, or clear buildpack installations for a Heroku app. Buildpack order determines how Heroku compiles source code during builds.

Connect Heroku to your AI client

Every client uses the same Magic MCP URL, and so does any other MCP client. Add it once and sign in with SSO.

  1. Enable Heroku in Metorial. In your Metorial portal, enable the Heroku MCP server and sign in with the account that owns the data. Access stays governed by your team policies.
  2. Add a custom connector. Open Customize, then Connectors. Select Add, then Custom, then Web.
  3. Paste your Metorial MCP URL. Name it Metorial, paste your Magic MCP URL (<your-magic-mcp-url>) and continue.
  4. Sign in. Select Add and sign in to load Heroku tools.

Full Heroku + Claude setup guide

Run Heroku through the Metorial gateway

One governed layer for every app your agents reach, not a separate connector per tool.

  • Give Heroku and every other app to your whole team through one MCP gateway, behind your SSO.
  • Scope which teams and agents can use Heroku tools with role-based access control, and trace every call.
  • Prefer to run it yourself? Metorial is open source and self-hostable.
