Frequently asked questions
Can I trigger a new pipeline build for a specific repository?
Yes. Use the trigger_pipeline tool by providing the repository ID. You can also specify a branch or commit if needed to start a new execution immediately.
How do I check if my build agents are online and healthy?
You can use list_agents to see all connected agents and their status. For more detail on a specific agent, use get_agent or list_agent_tasks to see what it's currently working on.
Is it possible to manage environment secrets through this agent?
Yes, the server includes tools like create_repo_secret and list_repo_secrets to manage sensitive variables at the repository level, as well as global and organization-level secret tools.
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.
