How do I create a Railway Personal Access Token?

Log in to the [**Railway Dashboard**](https://railway.com/dashboard), go to **Account Settings** > **Tokens**, and click **Create Token**. You can create a no-workspace token for broad access or a project-scoped token for limited access. Copy the token immediately — it won't be shown again.

Can I manage environment variables via the agent?

Yes! Use `list_variables` to see all variable names (values are hidden for security) for a service in an environment. Use `set_variable` to create or update a variable with a name and value, and `delete_variable` to remove one. You'll need the service_id and environment_id from the list tools.

What types of services does Railway support?

Railway supports any containerized service: web applications (Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Java), databases (PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB), message brokers and custom Docker images. Each service is deployed as an isolated container with its own environment variables, domains and persistent volumes.

How do I find my service_id and environment_id?

Use `list_projects` to get your project_id, then `list_environments` with that project_id to get the environment_id. Next, use `list_services` with the project_id (and optionally environment_id) to get the service_id. These IDs are required for variable, deployment and domain operations.

11 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

delete_variable

Provide the service_id, environment_id and variable name. WARNING: the variable will no longer be available to deployments after deletion. Delete an environment variable from a Railway service

list_deployments

Each deployment has an ID, status (success, failed, deploying, removed), creation and update timestamps. Use the service_id from list_services. List deployments for a Railway service

list_domains

Each domain has an ID, the domain string and SSL status (verified, pending, failed). Use this to audit which services are accessible via custom URLs. List custom domains for a Railway service

list_environments

g. production, staging, development) configured within a specific Railway project. Each environment has its own set of services, variables and deployments. Use the project_id from list_projects. List environments in a Railway project

get_project

Provide the project ID obtained from list_projects. Get details for a specific Railway project

list_projects

Each project groups related services, environments and deployments together. Returns project ID, name, description and timestamps. Use this as the starting point for all Railway operations. List all Railway projects

list_services

Optionally filter by environment_id to see services in a specific environment only. Each service represents a deployable unit like a web app, API, database or Redis instance. List services in a Railway project

set_variable

Requires the service_id, environment_id, variable name and value. The variable will be available to all deployments of that service in the given environment. Set an environment variable for a Railway service

list_variables

Each variable has a name and scope (service, environment, project). Variable values are NOT returned for security — only names and scopes. Use service_id and environment_id from their respective list tools. List environment variables for a Railway service

get_viewer

Use this to verify which account the API token belongs to. Get current authenticated Railway user details

list_volumes

Each volume has an ID, name, associated service ID and size in gigabytes. Volumes provide persistent storage that survives deployments and restarts. List persistent volumes in a Railway project
