## Description

When a build breaks in the middle of the night, the last thing you want to do is hunt through a web dashboard to find the right log file. This Connector connects your Travis CI setup to your AI agent so you can just ask for the status of a specific branch or why a job is looping. You can tell your agent to kick off a new build for a hotfix or stop a test suite that's eating up your runner time. It handles the heavy lifting of navigating your repository list and pulling the exact details you need to keep your deployment pipeline moving. Instead of manual clicking, you get a conversational way to manage your entire CI/CD ecosystem. It's one of the practical tools available in the Vinkius catalog that actually makes your DevOps workflow feel less like a chore and more like a conversation.

## Tools

### get_user_profile
Shows your authenticated Travis CI profile info. It lets the agent know your current session limits and account details.

### list_repository_branches
Lists every tracked branch with its latest build status. This gives you a quick overview of your entire project's health.

### list_travis_repositories
Lists every repository linked to your Travis CI account. Use this to let your agent see the full scope of your work.

### cancel_travis_build
Stops a currently running Travis CI build. This is useful when a test suite is looping and wasting resources.

### get_build_details
Pulls the full status and metadata for a specific build ID. Use this to see exactly where a process failed.

### list_repository_builds
Shows the recent execution history for a specific repository. You can use this to audit past successes and failures.

### list_build_jobs
Breaks down a specific build into its individual jobs. This helps you find the exact step that caused a pipeline to crash.

### restart_travis_build
Re-runs a previously executed build using its ID. This is great for retrying a build that failed due to a transient network issue.

### trigger_new_build
Starts a fresh build for a specific repository and branch. You can include a message to label the build for your team.

### get_repository_details
Fetches the ID and default branch for a specific repo slug. This helps your agent know which repository it's working on.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Which branches are currently failing their builds?
```

**Response:** 
```
I've checked the status of all your tracked branches. Here is the current breakdown:

| Branch | Status | Last Build ID |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `main` | ✅ Success | #812323 |
| `feature/auth-fix` | ❌ Failed | #812324 |
| `dev/ui-update` | ⚠️ Pending | #812325 |

It looks like the `feature/auth-fix` branch is the only one currently failing.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Cancel the build for the 'auth-fix' branch because it's stuck.
```

**Response:** 
```
I've sent the request to cancel the build for the `feature/auth-fix` branch. The hanging job has been stopped, and your runner capacity should be freed up shortly.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Trigger a new build on the 'staging' branch for repo 'app/web' with the message 'Deploying to staging'.
```

**Response:** 
```
Done! I've triggered a new build for the `app/web` repository on the `staging` branch. 

**Details:**
- **Message:** Deploying to staging
- **Status:** Queued
- **Reference:** You'll see this appear in your Travis CI dashboard under the new build execution.
```

## Capabilities

### List all repositories
See every project linked to your Travis CI account in one command.

### Retrieve build logs
Pull full status and metadata for specific builds to find errors quickly.

### Trigger new builds
Start fresh builds on specific branches with custom messages.

### Cancel stuck jobs
Stop looping or hanging builds immediately to free up your runners.

### Check branch status
Get a high-level overview of the latest build state for all tracked branches.

### View user profile
Check your authenticated session info and account quotas.

## Use Cases

### Stuck Builds
A test suite hangs and blocks the queue. You tell your agent to use `cancel_travis_build` to free up the runner.

### Hotfix Deployments
You need a quick fix on main. You ask your agent to `trigger_new_build` with the message "Urgent Hotfix".

### Debugging Failures
A build fails on a feature branch. You ask your agent to use `get_build_details` to see the error logs.

### Repo Auditing
You need to know which repos are active. You ask your agent to `list_travis_repositories` to see your entire fleet.

## Benefits

- Stop hunting through dashboards by using `list_travis_repositories` to see every project your agent can manage.
- Save time on debugging by pulling logs with `get_build_details` directly into your chat.
- Prevent runner waste by using `cancel_travis_build` to kill stuck jobs instantly.
- Get a bird's-eye view of your work with `list_repository_branches` to see which features are ready.
- Speed up hotfixes by using `trigger_new_build` to kick off deployments without opening a browser.
- Audit your history easily with `list_repository_builds` to track past performance.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get direct, conversational control over your CI/CD pipelines without leaving your editor.

1. Install the Connector and provide your Travis CI API token.
2. Connect your AI client to the Vinkius marketplace.
3. Ask your agent to check branch statuses or trigger builds.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can I use the Travis CI MCP to manage my builds?**
Yes, this Connector lets you manage your builds using natural language. You can trigger new builds, restart failed ones, or cancel jobs that are stuck without opening your browser.

**How does the Travis CI MCP help with debugging?**
It allows your agent to pull specific build details and logs directly into your workspace. This helps you identify exactly which step failed without navigating through multiple menus.

**Can I trigger new builds with this Connector?**
Absolutely. You can ask your agent to start a new build on any repository and branch, and even include a custom message to label the deployment.

**Does the Travis CI MCP work with Cursor or Claude?**
Yes, it works with any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code, allowing you to stay in your preferred editor.

**How do I see which jobs are running in a build?**
You can ask your agent to list the individual jobs within a specific build. It will break down the execution steps so you can see exactly what's running.

**Can I use this to see my Travis CI profile?**
Yes, the Connector can retrieve your authenticated profile information, which helps your agent understand your session limits and account status.

**Where do I retrieve my API Token for Travis CI?**
To obtain your credentials, log into your target `travis-ci.com` backend portal. Click your user avatar located prominently in the top right, expanding to access **Settings**. Look specifically under the API Authentication heading. Copy your displayed 'Token' verbatim. Deposit the string in the safe box below.

**Can I permanently delete repositories via this interface?**
No. The integration endpoints solely oversee execution boundaries (like manipulating jobs or active builds). Destructive endpoints concerning account integrity or unhooking internal repositories from version control simply do not exist in this scope.

**Can I use a single API Token for both travis-ci.com and travis-ci.org?**
No. Tokens for public projects (travis-ci.org), private projects (travis-ci.com), and Enterprise installations are not interchangeable. You must retrieve the token tightly bound to the specific environment you intend to integrate with.
