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 Pydantic AI?
Pydantic AI validates every Dagger (Programmable CI) tool response against typed schemas, catching data inconsistencies at build time. Connect 10 tools through Vinkius and switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your integration code. full type safety, structured output guarantees, and dependency injection for testable agents.
- —
Full type safety: every MCP tool response is validated against Pydantic models, catching data inconsistencies before they reach your application
- —
Model-agnostic architecture. switch between OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini without changing your Dagger (Programmable CI) integration code
- —
Structured output guarantee: Pydantic AI ensures tool results conform to defined schemas, eliminating runtime type errors
- —
Dependency injection system cleanly separates your Dagger (Programmable CI) connection logic from agent behavior for testable, maintainable code
Dagger (Programmable CI) in Pydantic AI
Dagger (Programmable CI) and 4,000+ other MCP servers. One platform. One governance layer.
Teams that connect Dagger (Programmable CI) to Pydantic AI 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 Pydantic AI
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 Pydantic AI 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 Pydantic AI
Every tool call from Pydantic AI 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 Pydantic AI discover MCP tools?
Create an MCPServerHTTP instance with the server URL. Pydantic AI connects, discovers all tools, and generates typed Python interfaces automatically.
Does Pydantic AI validate MCP tool responses?
Yes. When you define result types as Pydantic models, every tool response is validated against the schema. Invalid data raises a clear error instead of silently corrupting your pipeline.
Can I switch LLM providers without changing MCP code?
Absolutely. Pydantic AI abstracts the model layer. your Dagger (Programmable CI) MCP integration works identically with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or any supported provider.
