Integration

Fly.io integration

Fly.io Machines API for deploying and managing fast-launching VMs (Machines) globally. Fly.io runs applications close to users in datacenters worldwide, providing subsecond VM startup, persistent volumes, automatic scaling, and a comprehensive REST API for programmatic control of apps, machines, volumes, and configuration.

What you can do with Fly.io

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Use Fly.io from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Fly.io in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Fly.io operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Fly.io

Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
Connect Fly.io once
Add your Fly.io connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
