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 Claude Code?
Claude Code registers Dagger (Programmable CI) as an MCP server in a single terminal command. Once connected, Claude Code discovers all 10 tools at runtime and can call them headlessly. ideal for CI/CD pipelines, cron jobs, and automated workflows where Dagger (Programmable CI) data drives decisions without human intervention.
- —
Single-command setup:
claude mcp addregisters the server instantly. no config files to edit or applications to restart - —
Terminal-native workflow means MCP tools integrate seamlessly into shell scripts, CI/CD pipelines, and automated DevOps tasks
- —
Claude Code runs headlessly, enabling unattended batch processing using Dagger (Programmable CI) tools in cron jobs or deployment scripts
- —
Built by the same team that created the MCP protocol, ensuring first-class compatibility and the fastest adoption of new protocol features

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 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.
