## Overview

The Heroku Platform MCP Server is a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation designed to facilitate
seamless interaction between large language models (LLMs) and the Heroku Platform. This server provides a robust set of
tools and capabilities that enable LLMs to read, manage, and operate Heroku Platform resources.

Key Features:

- Direct interaction with Heroku Platform resources through LLM-driven tools
- Secure and authenticated access to Heroku Platform APIs, leveraging the Heroku CLI
- Natural language interface for Heroku Platform interactions

Note: The Heroku Platform MCP Server is currently in early development. As we continue to enhance and refine the
implementation, the available functionality and tools may evolve. We welcome feedback and contributions to help shape
the future of this project.

> **Note:** The [Heroku Platform MCP Server](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-mcp-server) requires the
> Heroku CLI to be installed globally (v10.8.1+). Ensure you have the correct version by running `heroku --version`.

## Configure the Heroku Platform MCP Server

You can configure Claude Desktop, Zed, Cursor, Windsurf, and other clients to work with the Heroku Platform MCP Server.

### Configure the Heroku Platform MCP Server with `heroku mcp:start`

Use `heroku mcp:start` to launch the Heroku Platform MCP Server. We recommend this method as it leverages your existing
Heroku CLI authentication, so you don't need to set the
[`HEROKU_API_KEY`](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-mcp-server#authentication) environment variable. The
`heroku mcp:start` command is available in Heroku CLI version 10.8.1 and later.

There are several benefits to configuring with `heroku mcp:start`:

- No need to manage or expose your Heroku API key
- Uses your current Heroku CLI authentication context
- Works seamlessly with supported clients
