cloud-run-manager
Tool suite for deploying and managing Google Cloud Run services. Use for deployments, logging, and service inspection.
When & Why to Use This Skill
The Cloud Run Manager skill provides a comprehensive toolset for deploying, managing, and monitoring Google Cloud Run services directly through Claude. It streamlines the lifecycle of containerized applications by enabling seamless deployments from local source code or container images, while providing deep visibility through real-time logging and service inspection tools to enhance DevOps productivity.
Use Cases
- Automated Deployment: Quickly deploy source code from local directories or existing container images to Google Cloud Run without manual CLI configurations.
- Service Monitoring & Debugging: Retrieve real-time logs and detailed service status to identify and resolve errors in running containerized applications.
- Multi-Project Management: Efficiently list and switch between different Google Cloud projects to inspect service health and resource allocation.
- Rapid Prototyping: Initialize new GCP projects and deploy ad-hoc file contents for quick testing and validation of cloud-native microservices.

Cloud Run Manager Skill
This skill grants access to the Google Cloud Run MCP tools. Use this to manage the lifecycle of containerized applications.
When to use
- Deploying new services (source or container based).
- Inspecting running services.
- Fetching service logs for debugging.
- Listing projects and services.
Available Tools (Context Loaded)
The following tools are available via the cloudrun MCP server:
Deployment
mcp_cloudrun_create_project: Initialize a new GCP project.mcp_cloudrun_deploy_container_image: Deploy an existing image (e.g., from GCR/Artifact Registry).mcp_cloudrun_deploy_local_folder: Deploy source code directly from a local path.mcp_cloudrun_deploy_file_contents: Deploy ad-hoc files (useful for quick tests).
Management & Observability
mcp_cloudrun_list_projects: View available GCP projects.mcp_cloudrun_list_services: List services in a project.mcp_cloudrun_get_service: Get detailed status/config of a generic service.mcp_cloudrun_get_service_log: Retrieve logs and error messages.
Best Practices
- Project ID: Always confirm the
projectID with the user or vialist_projectsbefore deploying. - Region: Default to
us-central1if unspecified, or ask the user. - Logs: usage of
get_service_logis expensive; request specific timeframes or limits if possible.
Example Workflow
- User: "Deploy this folder to Cloud Run."
- Agent: Calls
mcp_cloudrun_list_projectsto verify destination. - Agent: Calls
mcp_cloudrun_deploy_local_folder.
