We’re excited to announce the launch of the Heroku MCP Server, designed to bridge the gap between agent-driven development and Heroku’s AI PaaS. Having defined the platform experience for apps in the cloud, Heroku extends our developer and operator experience to AI capabilities. With the Heroku MCP Server, you can now expose Heroku’s robust platform capabilities as a set of intuitive actions accessible to AI agents through Model Context Protocol (MCP).

The Heroku MCP server enables AI-powered applications like Claude Desktop, Cursor, and Windsurf to directly interface with Heroku, unlocking new levels of automation, efficiency, and intelligence for managing your custom applications.

Introduction

The Heroku CLI is an incredible tool. It’s simple, extendable, and allows you to interact with all the Heroku functionality you depend on day to day. For this reason, it’s incredibly important for us to keep it up to date. Today, we're excited to highlight a major upgrade with the release of Heroku CLI v9.0.0, designed to streamline contributions, building, and iteration processes through the powerful oclif platform.

What's New in Version 9.0.0?

Version 9.0.0 focuses on architectural improvements. Here's what you need to know:

• oclif Platform: All core CLI commands are built on the oclif platform. Previously, many commands were built using a pre-oclif legacy...

Today, we’re announcing the integration of the Heroku CLI with Amazon Q Developer. This integration, a result of our expanded Salesforce/AWS partnership, enables Amazon Q Developer command line suggestions of Heroku commands. This integration empowers Heroku users to auto-complete commands, thereby saving time and eliminating error-prone manual configurations of apps.

Developers configure and manage their applications through a command line interface (CLI), especially during development when working within their integrated development environment (IDE). Heroku apps can be deployed in many different ways, and all that flexibility can be controlled through the CLI. This results in thousands...

Editor's note: If you like CLIs, you should check out oclifconf taking place on Friday, May 31st in San Francisco. It’s the first community get-together for oclif! Space is limited so let us know soon if you are interested in joining.

It can feel archaic at times, sure, but when you remember the right sequence of words, characters, and symbols for what you’re trying to do, it hits you with a sense of accomplishment and mastery over your tools that no graphical interface can compete with.

So what better way to continue your adventures as a developer than by developing your own CLI tool?

In this post, we’ll go over what...
