Monitor deployments and incidents in Claude Desktop

Stop hunting for status updates in external dashboards. You can call `list_software_deployments` and `list_software_incidents` to pull current operational data straight into your chat session. This gives your agent the context it needs to correlate recent code changes with production issues without switching tabs.

Automate event reporting from your MCP Server

Push updates to your pipeline tracking without manual entry. Use `record_new_deployment` or `record_new_incident` to keep your records current as events unfold on your machine. Your agent handles the API handshake, ensuring every event lands in the right repository with the correct reference ID.

Query engineering metrics with Claude Desktop

Pull specific team data to identify bottlenecks before they hit the quarterly review. Run `query_software_metrics` with your requested time ranges to get raw numbers for your DORA calculations. It removes the guesswork from performance discussions by providing objective data on cycle times and throughput.
