Can I trigger a build for a specific branch through the agent?

Yes! Use the `trigger_cci_pipeline` tool. You need to provide the project slug (e.g., `gh/org/repo`) and the branch name. The agent will instruct CircleCI to start the pipeline immediately.

How do I see why a specific job failed?

Use the `get_job_details` tool with the project slug and job number. Your agent will fetch the execution status and metadata, which often points to the cause of failure.

Where do I find my CircleCI API Token?

Log in to CircleCI, go to **User Settings -> Personal API Tokens**. You can generate and copy a new token from there.

Why Use AutoGen with the CircleCI MCP Server

AutoGen provides unique advantages when paired with CircleCI through the Model Context Protocol.

Multi-agent conversations: multiple AutoGen agents discuss, delegate, and collaboratively use CircleCI tools to solve complex tasks

Role-based architecture lets you assign CircleCI tool access to specific agents — a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates

Human-in-the-loop support: agents can pause for human approval before executing sensitive CircleCI tool calls

Code execution sandbox: AutoGen agents can write and run code that processes CircleCI tool responses in an isolated environment

CircleCI + AutoGen Use Cases

Practical scenarios where AutoGen combined with the CircleCI MCP Server delivers measurable value.

Collaborative analysis: one agent queries CircleCI while another validates results and a third generates the final report

Automated review pipelines: a researcher agent fetches data from CircleCI, a critic agent evaluates quality, and a writer produces the output

Interactive planning: agents negotiate task allocation using CircleCI data to make informed decisions about resource distribution

Code generation with live data: an AutoGen coder agent writes scripts that process CircleCI responses in a sandboxed execution environment

CircleCI + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating CircleCI MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call CircleCI tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
