Overview

The MCP Jenkins server bridges Jenkins CI/CD infrastructure with AI assistants through the Model Context Protocol. It enables secure, contextual interactions with Jenkins tools while maintaining data privacy. The server implements proper authentication via username/password or API tokens and supports multiple transport methods including stdio, SSE, and streamable HTTP. With comprehensive tool coverage for builds, nodes, queue items, and artifacts, it allows AI assistants to perform Jenkins operations seamlessly.

FAQ

How do I authenticate with Jenkins?

You can authenticate using either a username and password or a Jenkins API token. These can be provided via command line arguments (--jenkins-username, --jenkins-password) or through headers if using the HTTP transport.

What transport methods are supported?

The server supports three transport methods: stdio (default), SSE (Server-Sent Events), and streamable HTTP. You can specify your preferred transport using the --transport argument.

Can I run this in read-only mode?

Yes, you can enable read-only mode by using the --read-only flag, which will prevent any modifications to Jenkins resources.
