mcp-for-argocd · Install

Installation

Prerequisites

Node.js (v18 or higher recommended)
Argo CD instance with API access
Argo CD API token

Usage with Claude Desktop

Create a claude_desktop_config.json configuration file:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "argocd-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "argocd-mcp@latest",
        "stdio"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ARGOCD_BASE_URL": "<argocd_url>",
        "ARGOCD_API_TOKEN": "<argocd_token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Configure Claude Desktop to use this configuration file in settings.

Usage with VSCode

Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your project:

{
  "servers": {
    "argocd-mcp-stdio": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "argocd-mcp@latest",
        "stdio"
      ],
      "env": {
        "ARGOCD_BASE_URL": "<argocd_url>",
        "ARGOCD_API_TOKEN": "<argocd_token>"
      }
    }
  }
}

Start a conversation with an AI assistant in VS Code that supports MCP.
