Question 1

What does the Heroku MCP integration do?

Accepted Answer

The Heroku integration on the Agen MCP gateway exposes Heroku to AI agents through the Model Context Protocol. Application deployment, dyno scaling, add-on management, and platform-as-a-service workflows. It lets agents call Heroku actions like List apps, Get app, Scale dynos, and Restart app without writing custom integration code.

Question 2

Which Heroku actions are available through MCP?

Accepted Answer

The Agen Heroku MCP connector exposes 7 scoped actions including List apps, Get app, Scale dynos, and Restart app. Each action is mapped to a specific Heroku OAuth scope so agents only get the permissions they need for the task.

Question 3

How does Agen connect AI agents to Heroku?

Accepted Answer

Agen acts as the MCP gateway between your AI agents and Heroku. Agents authenticate to the gateway, the gateway authenticates to Heroku using scoped OAuth credentials, and every call is brokered through the gateway so it can apply policy and capture audit logs.

Question 4

How is access to Heroku controlled and audited?

Accepted Answer

Access to the Heroku integration is governed by Agen policies. Admins can restrict which agents or users can call Heroku tools, scope permissions per action, and review a full audit log of every call. Learn more about access control and policies.

Question 5

What are common use cases for the Heroku MCP integration?

Accepted Answer

AI agents use the Heroku connector to automate work in Heroku on behalf of users — common use cases include code review, deployment automation, and dev workflow orchestration. See more Development integrations in the Development category.

Question 6

How do I get started with the Agen MCP gateway for Heroku?

Accepted Answer

Install the Agen MCP gateway, authorize the Heroku connector with your Heroku workspace, and assign access policies to the agents or users that should be able to call it. Browse the full MCP integration catalog or contact sales to get started.
