Hatchbox

Overview

Hatchbox is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: MCP server for Hatchbox Rails hosting — env var inspection, deploys, and process monitoring. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Hatchbox as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package hatchbox-mcp-server speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. Configuration happens through environment variables — you'll need HATCHBOX_API_KEY, HATCHBOX_ACCOUNT_ID, HATCHBOX_APP_ID (among others). The current release is v0.1.3, published under the MIT license, with source at pulsemcp/mcp-servers on GitHub, where it has earned 80 stars.

On mcp.site, Hatchbox sits in the Cloud Service category. Any MCP client can use it — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed among them — via the install snippets below.
