mcp-jenkins

Drive Jenkins from Claude — trigger builds, watch pipelines, and manage CI/CD jobs & nodes

Features

  • 38 tools — covers ~95% of the Jenkins API: jobs, builds, nodes, views, queue, plugins, and system operations
  • Bearer token auth — supports both classic API token and modern bearer token authentication
  • Multiple instances — connect to several Jenkins servers simultaneously using comma-separated env vars
  • Pipeline awareness — retrieve stage-by-stage pipeline status, console logs, test results, and build artefacts
  • Node management — list agents, toggle nodes online/offline, and inspect system info without leaving your AI client
  • Zero-install usage — run directly via npx --yes @kud/mcp-jenkins@latest with no local setup required

Install

npm install -g @kud/mcp-jenkins

Or use without installing via npx (see Usage below).

Usage

Add the server to your MCP client config. The recommended approach uses environment variables:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "jenkins": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["--yes", "@kud/mcp-jenkins@latest"],
      "env": {
        "MCP_JENKINS_URL": "https://pipeline.yourcompany.com",
        "MCP_JENKINS_USER": "your_username",
        "MCP_JENKINS_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token"
      }
    }
  }
}

For bearer token authentication, replace the env block with:

"env": {
  "MCP_JENKINS_URL": "https://pipeline.yourcompany.com",
  "MCP_JENKINS_BEARER_TOKEN": "your_bearer_token"
}
