## MCP tools (10)

### `edgegap_list_apps` (~71 tokens)

List Edgegap applications

List the applications in the Edgegap organization. Start here before creating or deploying anything, so you reuse an existing application instead of making a duplicate. An "application" groups versions of one game server.

Input parameters:

- `limit` (integer): Results per page. Default 50.
- `page` (integer)

### `edgegap_create_app` (~87 tokens)

Create an Edgegap application

Create a new application to hold game server versions. Only call this after edgegap_list_apps confirms no suitable application exists. Creating an application does not deploy anything — follow with edgegap_create_app_version.

Input parameters:

- `is_active` (boolean): Whether deployments are allowed. Default true.
- `name` (string, required): Application name, 3-64 chars. Usually the game or project name.

### `edgegap_list_app_versions` (~67 tokens)

List versions of an application

List the versions under an application, with their container image and resource settings. Use this to find the version name to deploy, or to copy settings from a working version when creating a new one.

Input parameters:

- `application` (string, required): Application name, as returned by edgegap_list_apps.

### `edgegap_create_app_version` (~338 tokens)

Create an application version

Register a container image as a deployable version of an application. The image must already be pushed to a registry that Edgegap can pull from. Resource units: 1024 cpu units = 1 vCPU; memory_mb must be at least 256 and at most double the cpu units. Set verify_image true on the first version so a bad image fails here rather than at deploy time. Avoid the "latest" docker tag — use a build ID so deployments are reproducible.

Input parameters:

- `application` (string, required): Existing application name.
- `cpu_units` (integer, required): vCPU units. 1024 = 1 vCPU.
- `docker_image` (string, required): Namespaced image, e.g. "mystudio/game-server".
- `docker_repository` (string, required): Registry host, e.g. "docker.io" or "registry.edgegap.com".
- `docker_tag` (string, required): Image tag. Use a build ID, not "latest".
- `env` (array): Environment variables injected into the container.
- `max_duration_minutes` (integer): Auto-stop after this many minutes. Keeps test deployments from running up cost.
- `memory_mb` (integer, required): Memory in MB. At most 2x cpu_units.
- `name` (string, required): Version identifier, typically a build ID or timestamp.
- `ports` (array, required): Ports to expose. At least one is required for players to connect.
- `registry_token` (string): Registry password or token.
- `registry_username` (string): Registry username, for private images.
- `verify_image` (boolean): Verify Edgegap can pull the image before accepting the version.

### `edgegap_deploy` (~169 tokens)

Deploy a game server

Start one containerized instance of an application version, placed near the players you specify. Returns immediately with a request_id; the server is still starting and has no connection details yet. Follow this call with edgegap_wait_for_deployment to get the address players connect to. Always stop deployments you started for testing.

Input parameters:

- `application` (string, required): Application name.
- `cpu_units` (integer): Override the version CPU.
- `env` (array): Environment variables for this deployment only.
- `memory_mb` (integer): Override the version memory.
- `tags` (array): Tags for filtering later, e.g. ["agent-test"]. Recommended.
- `users` (object, required): Where the players are. Exactly one of these two is required.
- `version` (string, required): Version name within the application.

### `edgegap_get_deployment` (~75 tokens)

Get deployment status

Read the current status of one deployment, including connection address and ports once it is ready. For a deployment you just created, prefer edgegap_wait_for_deployment — it polls for you instead of making you call this in a loop.

Input parameters:

- `request_id` (string, required): The request_id returned by edgegap_deploy.

### `edgegap_wait_for_deployment` (~107 tokens)

Wait for a deployment to become ready

Poll a deployment until it is ready, errors, or the timeout expires, then return the connection details. This is the tool to call right after edgegap_deploy. Do not build your own polling loop — this handles backoff and reports the container error detail if the server fails to start.

Input parameters:

- `request_id` (string, required): The request_id returned by edgegap_deploy.
- `timeout_seconds` (integer): How long to wait before giving up. Default 180.

### `edgegap_list_deployments` (~73 tokens)

List running deployments

List active deployments, optionally filtered. Use this to find deployments left running from earlier sessions before starting new ones — orphaned servers cost money.

Input parameters:

- `filter` (string): Edgegap filter expression, e.g. by tag. Omit for all deployments.
- `limit` (integer): Default 50.

### `edgegap_stop_deployment` (~69 tokens)

Stop a deployment

Gracefully stop one deployment by request_id, sending SIGTERM to the container. Stop every deployment you started for testing before ending your task. This tool stops exactly one deployment; bulk stop is deliberately not exposed.

Input parameters:

- `request_id` (string, required): The request_id of the deployment to stop.

### `edgegap_get_deployment_logs` (~105 tokens)

Get container logs for a deployment

Retrieve stdout/stderr and crash output for a deployment. Call this whenever a deployment errors or a server exits unexpectedly — the crash exit code usually identifies the problem faster than redeploying does. Logs for stopped deployments are only retained if Endpoint Storage was configured on the version beforehand.

Input parameters:

- `max_characters` (integer): Truncate logs to this length, keeping the tail. Default 8000.
- `request_id` (string, required): The request_id of the deployment.

## Common questions

### What is the Edgegap MCP server?

Edgegap is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as dev.edgegap/mcp. Deploy and operate multiplayer game servers on Edgegap's global edge network. This page covers its npm package (@edgegap/mcp).

### Is the Edgegap MCP server safe to use?

Edgegap scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 25 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the Edgegap MCP server expose?

Edgegap exposes 10 tools: edgegap_list_apps, edgegap_create_app, edgegap_list_app_versions, edgegap_create_app_version, edgegap_deploy, and 5 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,161 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the Edgegap MCP server still maintained?

Edgegap is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 25 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the Edgegap MCP server under?

Edgegap declares the Apache-2.0 licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
