Overview

The Tugboat MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for interacting with the Tugboat API, enabling AI assistants to access and manipulate Tugboat resources through a standardized interface.

To use the Tugboat MCP Server, clone the repository, install dependencies, and set up environment variables such as TUGBOAT_API_KEY. You can then run the server and interact with it through AI assistants like Claude or Cursor.

Access Tugboat projects, previews, and repositories. - Create, build, refresh, and delete previews. - Search for Tugboat resources and view preview logs. - Support for both stdio and HTTP transports with authentication.

Managing Tugboat projects and previews through AI assistants.
Automating interactions with the Tugboat API for CI/CD workflows.
Facilitating seamless integration of AI tools with Tugboat resources.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tugboat-mcp-lullabot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tugboat-mcp-lullabot"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tugboat-mcp-lullabot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tugboat-mcp-lullabot"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

  "mcpServers": {
    "tugboat-mcp-lullabot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tugboat-mcp-lullabot"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{

    "tugboat-mcp-lullabot": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tugboat-mcp-lullabot"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json
