Official serverRemoteCloud & infrastructure

1. Add the server

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "railway": {
      "url": "https://mcp.railway.com/"
    }
  }
}

2. Sign in

Cursor prompts you to sign in the first time a remote OAuth server is used. Railway is hosted by Railway, so there is nothing to install or keep updated.

3. Try it

Ask Cursor for something Railway can do. Create, deploy and debug Railway projects, services and environments. Approve the first tool call and check the result before allowing write actions automatically.

· Remote servers take a url; local servers take command and args.
· Values can reference ${env:NAME} so secrets stay out of the file.
