railway is a Claude Code plugin (also packaged for OpenAI Codex, Grok Build, and Cursor) that adds Railway deployment and management capabilities directly to an AI coding assistant's terminal session. It installs the 'use-railway' agent skill together with supporting reference documents, a GraphQL API helper script, and a PreToolUse hook that auto-approves Railway CLI and API calls. According to the Railway docs, it requires Claude Code 1.0.33 or later and an authenticated Railway CLI, and is installed via Claude Code's plugin marketplace system. The skill is described as 'route-first,' meaning intent routing is defined in SKILL.md with execution details split into action-oriented reference files, per the railway-skills README. The plugin's source code is open-source on GitHub under the MIT license.
Overview
Railway is a platform for deploying and managing apps, databases, and infrastructure; this plugin is the official Claude Code integration that exposes Railway's project setup, deployment, networking, and observability workflows to an AI coding assistant.
What you can do with railway
- Install the plugin via the Claude Code plugin marketplace (/plugin marketplace add, /plugin install) or via the official claude-plugins-official marketplace
- Use the use-railway agent skill to deploy services, check project status, and manage environments from a terminal session
- Get help with project setup, deployments, troubleshooting, environment configuration, networking, and observability, per the Railway docs' list of skill capabilities
- Run authenticated Railway GraphQL API requests through the included helper script
- Rely on an auto-approve (PreToolUse) hook so Claude Code doesn't prompt for permission on every Railway CLI or API call
- Update the plugin by refreshing the marketplace and reinstalling, or enable auto-updates under the Marketplaces tab
- Install the agent skill without the Claude Code plugin system using the railway skills command, or via curl -fsSL agents.railway.com | sh, which the README states works across multiple AI coding assistants
