Agent skills for interacting with Railway

What it solves

This project provides a set of "skills" and plugins that allow AI agents (such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Grok Build) to interact with Railway.app, enabling these agents to manage and deploy software infrastructure on the Railway platform.

How it works

It implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and the Agent Skills format to provide a standardized way for AI agents to understand and execute actions on Railway. Users can install these skills via the Railway CLI or as plugins for specific AI coding assistants. Once installed, the agent is given a set of tools (the use-railway skill) that it can use to route intents and execute infrastructure tasks.

Who it’s for

Developers using AI-powered IDEs or agents (like Cursor, Claude Code, or Grok Build) who want their AI assistant to be able to manage their Railway deployments and infrastructure directly.

Highlights

  • Broad Agent Compatibility: Supports a wide range of AI tools including Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Grok Build, and Cursor.
  • Easy Installation: Provides a one-step CLI installation command for agent support.
  • MCP Integration: Configures the Railway MCP server to allow agents to communicate with the platform.
  • Route-First Design: Uses a route-first approach for skill definition, separating intent routing from execution details.
