Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the Dagger (Programmable CI) MCP Server?
Connect to the Dagger Engine to orchestrate your delivery pipelines using a powerful, programmable GraphQL API. This server allows your AI agent to interact directly with Dagger's Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of operations.
What you can do
- Container Orchestration — Initialize scratch containers, pull images, and manage OCI-compatible states.
- GraphQL Workflows — Execute raw GraphQL queries to compose complex build and test logic dynamically.
- Source Control — Query Git repositories and host environments to pull source code into your pipelines.
- Resource Management — Handle secrets securely, manage persistent cache volumes, and fetch remote files via HTTP.
- Module Inspection — Query the current module state and engine version to ensure environment consistency.
How it works
- Ensure a Dagger Engine is running in your environment.
- Provide the session port and token generated by the Dagger CLI.
- Start building and deploying through natural language commands.
Who is this for?
- DevOps Engineers — Automate pipeline debugging and execution without leaving the chat interface.
- Software Developers — Run builds, tests, and container operations directly from the code editor.
- SREs — Inspect engine states and orchestrate infrastructure tasks using programmable CI logic.

Why Vercel AI SDK?
The Vercel AI SDK gives every Dagger (Programmable CI) tool full TypeScript type inference, IDE autocomplete, and compile-time error checking. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and stream results progressively to React, Svelte, or Vue components. works on Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and any Node.js runtime.

Edge-compatible: the AI SDK runs on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and other edge runtimes for minimal latency
Dagger (Programmable CI) in Vercel AI SDK
Dagger (Programmable CI) and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Dagger (Programmable CI) to Vercel AI SDK through Vinkius don't need to source, host, or maintain individual MCP servers. Every tool call runs inside a hardened runtime with credential isolation, DLP, and a signed audit chain.

Why teams choose Vinkius for Dagger (Programmable CI) in Vercel AI SDK
The Dagger (Programmable CI) MCP Server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS — a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts. All 10 tools execute in hardened sandboxes optimized for native MCP execution.
Your AI agents in Vercel AI SDK only access the data you authorize, with DLP that blocks sensitive information from ever reaching the model, kill switch for instant shutdown, and up to 60% token savings. Enterprise-grade infrastructure, zero maintenance.

* Every MCP server runs on Vinkius-managed infrastructure inside AWS - a purpose-built runtime with per-request V8 isolates, Ed25519 signed audit chains, and sub-40ms cold starts optimized for native MCP execution. See our infrastructure
How Vinkius secures
Dagger (Programmable CI) for Vercel AI SDK
Every tool call from Vercel AI SDK to the Dagger (Programmable CI) MCP Server is protected by DLP redaction, cryptographic audit chains, V8 sandbox isolation, kill switch, and financial circuit breakers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I run a specific build command using Dagger?
You can use the execute_graphql_query tool to send a raw GraphQL query to the Dagger engine, allowing you to chain container operations like from, withExec, and stdout.
Can I access files from my local machine in the pipeline?
Yes, the query_host tool allows you to retrieve the state ID for your host environment, which can then be used to mount local directories into your Dagger containers.
How are secrets handled in this integration?
Use the query_secret tool to load secrets from URIs (like env:// or file://). This returns a secret ID that can be safely passed to other Dagger operations without exposing the plaintext value.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
createMCPClient is not a function
Install: npm install @ai-sdk/mcp
