caddy_reverse_proxy

MCP tool from Caddy MCP by YawLabs

Add a reverse proxy in one call: from='api.local' to=['localhost:3000']. Pass an optional id for idempotent writes — repeat calls replace the route in place instead of duplicating.

How to use it

caddy_reverse_proxy is exposed by the Caddy MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the caddy_reverse_proxy tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Other tools in Caddy MCP (17)

caddy_adapt

Convert a config in any registered adapter format to Caddy JSON without applying it. caddyfile (built-in, default) plus any adapter module compiled into your Caddy binary — e.g., nginx (caddy-nginx-adapter), yaml (caddy-yaml). Great for previewing or porting from existing configs.

caddy_add_route

Add a route with full match/handle control (any Caddy handler).

caddy_config_by_id

Get/set/delete config by @id tag — much easier than navigating deep paths. The delete action requires confirm=true.

caddy_config_delete

Delete config at a path. Requires confirm=true (deleting a parent path also removes every descendant).

caddy_config_get

Read config at any JSON path (or the full config).

caddy_config_set

Write config at a path. Modes: overwrite (PATCH, default, idempotent), append (POST), insert (PUT, for array positions).

caddy_list_routes

Human-readable route summary. Defensive: never crashes on weird config.

caddy_list_servers

List all HTTP servers with names, addresses, route counts, and TLS status.

caddy_load

Replace the entire config atomically. 60-second timeout for cert provisioning. Auto-snapshots the prior config.

caddy_metrics

Prometheus metrics (request counts, durations, connections, TLS handshakes). Optional filter (substring match on metric name, keeps # HELP / # TYPE lines for retained metrics) and maxlines (default 500) keep responses compact on busy servers.

caddy_pki

CA info and certificate chains (default CA: local).

caddy_remove_route

Remove a route by @id (preferred) or by index. Requires confirm=true.

caddy_revert

Manage config snapshots for rollback. Actions: list, save, apply (confirm-gated). In-memory, last 10.

caddy_status

Connectivity check + config summary (server count, routes, TLS mode).

caddy_stop

Graceful shutdown. Requires confirm=true to prevent accidents.

caddy_tls

Check or set TLS settings: ACME email, ACME CA URL. PATCH first; on a fresh install, POSTs a minimal config. On an existing config it deep-merges into the issuer path and PUTs the result back, preserving siblings (custom certs, ondemand, additional policies). Refuses with a shape-specific error if t

caddy_upstreams

Reverse proxy backend health.
