How do I connect this MCP to my Harness account?

You need to provide your Harness API Key, Account ID, and Organization ID during the setup process on Vinkius.

Which AI clients can I use with this MCP?

You can use any MCP-compatible client, including Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code.

Can I trigger actual deployments using my AI agent?

Yes, the execute_pipeline capability allows your agent to trigger pipeline runs directly.

Is my Harness data secure?

Vinkius manages the connection and credentials, allowing your agent to interact with your Harness environment through secure API calls.

Can I see the YAML configuration of my pipelines?

Yes, you can use the get_pipeline capability to retrieve the full details and YAML for any specific pipeline.

How do I find my Harness API Key?

Log in to Harness, go to My Profile (bottom left), and select API Keys. You can generate either a Personal API Key or use a Service Account Token from there.

Where can I find my Account ID and Org ID?

The Account ID is visible in your browser's URL when logged in (e.g., account/XYZ123). The Organization ID is typically found in the project settings or sidebar (default is often 'default').

Can I trigger a pipeline execution via this integration?

Yes! Use the execute_pipeline capability by providing the project ID and pipeline ID. Harness will initiate the workflow immediately.

Waiting for input…

Works with modern AI clients that support MCP, including ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, and more.

Your AI does the work. We keep it safe and sound.

No other AI tool gives you this. Your workflow runs in the client you already love, your account stays protected, and you decide what the agent can and cannot do. It is the whole reason to make the switch.

Each Connector lives inside our infrastructure, the same place where your workflow runs. The three things below are already part of it, working quietly in the background so you never have to think about them. Nothing to add, nothing to set up, nothing to worry about.

V8 Isolate01

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed environment.

Each Connector runs inside its own sealed V8 runtime — no access to your files, your system, or other servers. A Connector never sees past its own request.

Kill Switch02

One switch stops every agent. Instantly.

One action deactivates every Connector, revokes every token, and ends every session at once. AI Governance keeps the record.

FinOps per User03

Spending limits that pause instead of surprise.

Every user keeps their own connections and credentials, isolated from everyone else. Anything that would cross your spending limit is held for your approval, not billed.

Three controls, built into the layer your AI connects through.

Real work

What teams actually run

Rapid Deployment

Trigger a production pipeline immediately after a successful code commit via your agent.

Failure Debugging

Ask your agent to check the status of a failed step to find the exact error in a pipeline.

Compliance Checks

Request audit logs to verify who triggered a specific deployment or changed a configuration.

Environment Audits

Verify that all necessary secrets and infrastructure connectors are present in a project.

Automate a task

Put Harness to work on one thing.

Step-by-step automations your AI runs through this Connector: the workflow, the prompts to start with, and the exact capabilities behind each move.

One connector, every AI

Harness works with the most popular AI clients.

These are the most popular clients, each with a step-by-step guide: one link, set up once, with governance and visibility built in. And because everything runs on the MCP standard, the same connection also works in any other compatible client — nothing to rebuild.

Building your own app? The connector is yours to use.

You don't need a client to put Harness to work: the same hosted connection plugs into your own applications and agent code, with the same governance on every request. Build with it, chat with it — one connection for both.

Connect your client

One URL. Every client.

Activate the Connector, copy your link, and paste it into the client you already use. 11 capabilities arrive ready to run.

Preview access · not provider authentication

The vk_preview_* token belongs to Vinkius preview infrastructure. It lets Claude discover and display the capabilities of Harness, so you can see the experience inside your AI.

It does not authenticate your account with Harness. Actions requiring credentials or live account data may not run until you activate the Connector and authorize the service.
