How do I find my Harness API Key?

Log in to Harness, go to **My Profile** (bottom left), and select **API Keys**. You can generate either a Personal API Key or use a Service Account Token from there.

Where can I find my Account ID and Org ID?

The Account ID is visible in your browser's URL when logged in (e.g., `account/XYZ123`). The Organization ID is typically found in the project settings or sidebar (default is often 'default').

Can I trigger a pipeline execution via this integration?

Yes! Use the `execute_pipeline` tool by providing the project ID and pipeline ID. Harness will initiate the workflow immediately.

Is the integration secure for managing secrets?

Absolutely. The integration only lists the metadata of your secrets (like names and identifiers) through your API key. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely in the Vinkius Cloud.

About Harness MCP Server

Connect your Harness.io platform to any AI agent and take full control of your software delivery and CI/CD pipelines through natural conversation.

AutoGen enables multi-agent conversations where agents negotiate, delegate, and collaboratively use Harness tools. Connect 11 tools through Vinkius and assign role-based access. a data analyst queries while a reviewer validates, with optional human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive operations.

What you can do

Pipeline Management — List, inspect, and trigger pipeline executions across your projects.
Execution Monitoring — Get real-time status updates and step details for active deployments.
Project Oversight — Browse your organizational structure and list projects within specific organizations.
Secrets & Infrastructure — Access lists of secrets, connectors, and environments to ensure your infrastructure is correctly configured.
Audit & Compliance — Retrieve platform audit logs to monitor changes and ensure security standards.
Service Insights — List microservices and environments defined in your DevOps ecosystem.

The Harness MCP Server exposes 11 tools through the Vinkius. Connect it to AutoGen in under two minutes — no API keys to rotate, no infrastructure to provision, no vendor lock-in. Your configuration, your data, your control.

Why Use AutoGen with the Harness MCP Server

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

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

Role-based architecture lets you assign Harness 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 Harness tool calls

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

Harness + AutoGen Use Cases

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

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

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

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

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

Harness + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating Harness 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 Harness 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.
