The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source implementation that bridges Jenkins with AI language models following Anthropic's MCP specification. This project enables secure, contextual AI interactions with Jenkins tools while maintaining data privacy and security.

Jenkins runs the builds and releases for a lot of teams, and checking on it usually means hunting through its web interface. This lets an assistant answer instead: whether a build passed, why one failed, what is queued, and what changed. It can also start jobs when you ask. It works in Cursor, installs through several common package tools, and connects to the Jenkins server you already run.

mcp-jenkins FAQ
Can I use this to find out why a build failed?
Yes — you can ask about a specific job and get the reason without digging through logs.
Can it start builds or only read them?
It can trigger jobs as well as report on them, so access should go to people you trust.
Do I need a key or account?
No separate key beyond the access your own Jenkins server already requires.
Which apps does it work with?
It is documented for Cursor and works with other assistants supporting this connection.
How hard is it to set up?
It installs through several common package tools and points at your Jenkins address.
