What is the Trigger.dev MCP Server?
Connect Trigger.dev to your AI agent and manage your background job infrastructure conversationally.
What you can do
- Job Monitoring — List active, completed, and failed task runs with execution times, statuses, and error details.
- Project Overview — Query projects, environments, and their associated job definitions.
- Run Inspection — Drill into individual runs to view payloads, outputs, logs, and retry history.
- Environment Management — Switch between dev, staging, and production environments to inspect runs across your deployment pipeline.
How it works
- Subscribe to the Trigger.dev integration on the marketplace.
- Generate a Secret API Key from your Trigger.dev dashboard (Project → API Keys section — keys start with
tr_dev_ortr_prod_). - Ask your AI agent to list job runs, check failures, or inspect task outputs.
Who is this for?
- Backend Developers — Monitor background job health, debug failed runs, and verify task outputs without leaving your code editor.
- DevOps Engineers — Track job execution across environments and identify bottlenecks in your processing pipeline.
- Technical Leads — Get instant visibility into production job queues during incident response without switching to the Trigger.dev dashboard.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get my Trigger.dev API key?
Log in to your Trigger.dev dashboard at cloud.trigger.dev. Open your project, then find the API Keys section in the project settings. Copy your Secret API Key (it starts with tr_dev_ for development or tr_prod_ for production). Paste it into the configuration field below. For Personal Access Tokens (used for admin operations), go to Profile → Personal Access Tokens tab instead.
Can my AI agent tell me why a background job failed in production?
Yes. Ask your agent to list failed runs and it returns the task name, error message, stack trace, execution duration, and retry count for each failure. You can then drill into a specific run to see the exact input payload and which step failed — cutting your debugging time from minutes to seconds.
What if I'm on-call and need to check job health at 2 AM?
Just ask your AI agent 'Are there any failed jobs in production?' and get an instant triage report — number of failures, which tasks are affected, when they started failing, and whether retries resolved them. No need to open a browser, log in, or navigate dashboards in the middle of the night.
Does it support multiple environments like dev, staging, and production?
Yes. Each API key is scoped to a specific environment (dev or prod), just like in Trigger.dev itself. You can configure separate integrations for each environment, or switch between them by updating the API key — giving you full control over which environment your AI agent queries.
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
