MCP Modal Server MCP server

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

• analyze_modal_costs

  Break down what the workspace is spending (`modal billing`). Costs are fetched once and aggregated locally, so you get ranked totals and period-over-period changes rather than hundreds of raw rows.

• deploy_modal_appwrite action

  Deploy a Modal app (`modal deploy`). Deployed endpoints persist after this returns, so any URLs in the result are live, shareable links.

• get_modal_logs

  Fetch logs for an app or container (`modal app logs` / `modal container logs`). To find where something went wrong, prefer search_modal_logs — it returns matches with surrounding context instead of a raw tail.

• inspect_modal_secret

  List the KEY NAMES inside a Modal secret — never the values.

• list_modal_resources

  Read-only lookup of everything in the Modal account. Start here to find the app name, container ID or volume name that the other tools take.

• manage_modal_app

  Change a deployed app's state. Both actions affect live traffic.

• manage_modal_container

  Act on one running container. Find IDs with list_modal_resources(resource="containers").

• manage_modal_secretwrite action

  Create or delete a secret. To list secret names use list_modal_resources(resource="secrets") — values are never readable.

• manage_modal_volume

  Volume lifecycle. For the files inside a volume use modal_volume_files (writes) or list_modal_resources(resource="volume_files") (reads).

• modal_volume_fileswrite action

  Write operations on a volume's files. To LIST a volume's contents use list_modal_resources(resource="volume_files").

• run_modal_appwrite action

  Run a Modal function or local entrypoint once and collect its output (`modal run`). Use this to test on Modal compute; use deploy_modal_app to publish.

• search_modal_logs

  Search an app's or container's logs and return each hit WITH surrounding context — the fastest way to find a traceback, an error or a request ID. Logs are fetched once and grepped locally, so you get the lines around each match, not just the match.
