Frequently asked questions
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.
How do I add an MCP server to Claude Code?
Run claude mcp add <name> --transport http "<url>" in your terminal. Claude Code registers the server and discovers all tools immediately.
Can Claude Code run MCP tools in headless mode?
Yes. Claude Code supports non-interactive execution, making it ideal for scripts, cron jobs, and CI/CD pipelines that need MCP tool access.
How do I list all connected MCP servers?
Run claude mcp in your terminal to see all registered servers and their status, or type /mcp inside an active Claude Code session.
