# RailPush

> RailPush is an AI-native cloud platform (PaaS) where AI agents deploy and manage infrastructure via 286 Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools. Push code or a Docker image and get a live HTTPS URL in minutes; add managed databases, jobs, domains, and AI-agent automation when you need them. Built for AI agents. Humans welcome.

## What is RailPush?

RailPush is a Platform as a Service (PaaS) — like Heroku, Railway, or Render — designed from day one for AI agents to operate. It exposes 286 MCP tools so AI agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, or any MCP client) can deploy services, provision databases, configure DNS, manage secrets, and monitor infrastructure autonomously, alongside a full web dashboard, REST API, and CLI for humans.

## Key facts

- MCP tools: 286 structured tools for full infrastructure automation
- MCP transport: Streamable HTTP at https://mcp.railpush.com/mcp, SSE at https://mcp.railpush.com/sse, local stdio via `npm install railpush-mcp`
- Pricing (per resource / month): Free $0, Nano $4, Small $7, Medium $14, Large $28, GPU $49
- Databases: PostgreSQL (with point-in-time recovery), MySQL 8.0, MongoDB 7.0, Redis, Meilisearch
- Object storage: S3-compatible (MinIO)
- Deploys: git push, Docker image, one-click deploy button, or AI agent via MCP
- Deploy strategies: blue-green, canary, rolling; instant rollbacks and full deploy history
- Scaling: horizontal auto-scaling; free-tier scale-to-zero (wakes on request)
- Domains: custom domains with automatic TLS (Let's Encrypt); domain registration and DNS
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada, 20GB VRAM, CUDA 12.x (set plan=gpu)
- IaC: Blueprints (railpush.yaml) for infrastructure as code
- Hosted AI agents: OpenClaw Cloud and Hermes Agent Cloud
- Free tier: 1 service, 1 PostgreSQL, 1 Redis, no credit card required

## How it works

1. Create an account at https://railpush.com (or via the API agent signup endpoint).
2. Get an API key from the dashboard or the agent signup response.
3. Connect any MCP client to https://mcp.railpush.com with your API key.
4. Your AI agent can deploy services, create databases, manage domains, watch logs, and roll back.
