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.

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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
Server not connecting
Check Settings → MCP for the server status. Try toggling it off and on.
