Why people use Harness
Harness for CI/CD Pipeline Management
This Connector changes that by bringing the data to you. You can ask your agent to pull the YAML for a specific pipeline or check the status of a live deployment without ever leaving your workspace. You get a unified command center where you can manage your entire software delivery lifecycle through simple conversation.
What Vinkius changes
You get a hands-free way to manage your entire CI/CD lifecycle through a chat interface.

Before you connect
Questions about Harness.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
Can the Harness MCP trigger deployments?
Yes, you can use it to start any pipeline execution just by asking your agent. It handles the request for you so you don't have to log into the web console.
How do I check if my secrets are set up correctly?
You can ask your agent to list the secrets for a specific project. It will pull the list from Harness and show you what's configured.
Can I use the Harness MCP to see my audit logs?
Yes, it can retrieve platform audit logs. This is great for tracking changes to your infrastructure or investigating recent security events.
Does the Harness MCP work with my YAML files?
You can use it to get the full YAML configuration for any specific pipeline. This makes it easy to inspect your workflow structure directly in your chat.
Is the Harness MCP good for SREs?
It's perfect for SREs who need to monitor execution failures and check environment configurations quickly. It saves time by pulling that data into a single view.
Can I see my microservices with this Connector?
Yes, it can list the services defined in your projects. It helps you get a clear map of your entire DevOps ecosystem without manual searching.
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.
Is the integration secure for managing secrets?
Absolutely. The integration only lists the metadata of your secrets (like names and identifiers) through your API key. Your credentials are encrypted and stored securely in the Vinkius Cloud.
