# Travis CI MCP > Travis CI manages your entire continuous integration and deployment process. Connect this MCP to instantly check repository health across multiple branches, manually trigger new builds on specific commits, or cancel runaway jobs without leaving your workspace. Your AI agent handles the complex build matrices and status checks you normally do by clicking through ten different dashboard tabs. ## Overview - **Category:** ship-it - **Price:** Free - **Tags:** continuous-integration, build-automation, pipeline-management, repository-testing, deployment, software-testing ## Description Managing code deployments shouldn't require constantly switching between Git GUIs and dozens of separate testing dashboards. This MCP links directly to Travis CI, letting your AI client observe and intervene in your entire development pipeline using natural language instructions. Instead of having to navigate deep into build logs or manually checking the status of every branch, you simply tell your agent what you need done. For instance, if a hotfix fails, you can ask it to audit the logs for that specific job ID right away, or check all branches simultaneously to see which one is stable. It's like having an engineer who never sleeps and lives inside your AI client. When you connect this MCP via Vinkius, you get immediate command-line control over complex CI/CD actions without ever touching a web interface. ## Tools ### cancel_travis_build Stops a Travis CI build that is currently running, making the action irreversible. ### get_build_details Fetches all necessary information about a specific completed or failed Travis CI build. ### get_repository_details Retrieves core metadata, like the ID or default branch status, for any specified repository. ### get_user_profile Shows your associated Travis CI account details, including visible quotas or restrictions. ### list_repository_branches Provides a list of all tracked branches and their most recent build status on the platform. ### list_repository_builds Generates a log of recent, completed build executions for a specified repository slug. ### list_build_jobs Lists all the distinct individual jobs that were executed within one specific build run. ### list_travis_repositories Retrieves a full list of every repository configured under your Travis CI account. ### restart_travis_build Forces a re-run of an already executed Travis CI build, requiring the specific build ID. ### trigger_new_build Starts a completely new build for any repository on a specified branch, optionally adding a custom message. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Retrieve the build details for job execution ID #812323. ``` **Response:** ``` Build execution 812323 has been assessed. Status: ERRORED. Total run duration was 19 seconds. Linked directly to branch 'feature/graphql'. ``` **Prompt:** ``` Trigger a new deployment build on repo vinkius/core under main branch with message 'Hotfix'. ``` **Response:** ``` New workflow successfully instantiated in repo vinkius/core for the main branch. Attached instruction: 'Hotfix'. Build is pending in queue. ``` ## Capabilities ### Check repository status List all connected repositories and view the latest build state for every branch. ### Audit specific builds Retrieve comprehensive details for a particular build, allowing you to inspect run duration or failure points. ### Inspect individual jobs Drill down into any single build to list and analyze all the distinct jobs that ran within it. ### Start new builds manually Manually trigger a fresh build on a specific branch for any configured repository. ### Stop runaway processes Cancel an actively running test suite or job immediately if it's stuck or failing badly. ### Restart failed builds Force a re-run of a build that previously executed but needs to be tested again. ## Use Cases ### Diagnosing a Production Failure A release manager notices the 'main' branch build is failing. They ask their agent to use `list_repository_builds` and then run `get_build_details` on the last failure ID, getting immediate confirmation of the error without navigating deep into web logs. ### Validating a Hotfix A developer finishes a quick hotfix commit. They ask their agent to use `trigger_new_build` on the 'main' branch, allowing them to monitor the new build status and job execution using `list_build_jobs` in real time. ### Auditing Dependencies A team needs to know which repos are configured. They ask their agent to use `list_travis_repositories`, getting a clean list of all available codebases they need to audit for compliance. ### Checking Development Readiness Before merging, a senior developer asks the agent to run `list_repository_branches`. The agent returns an overview showing which branches are green (passing) and which require attention (failing). ## Benefits - Stop wasting time on dashboard clicks. Instead of manually checking the status, you can ask your agent to list all branches and their latest build state instantly using `list_repository_branches`. - If a deployment gets stuck or runs too long, don't wait for an alert. Your agent lets you cancel it immediately with `cancel_travis_build`, saving compute time and resources. - Need to validate a recent commit? Use `get_build_details` on the build ID to get full status reports, letting your agent tell you if the run was successful or failed. - Don't just check the main branch. You can view all repositories using `list_travis_repositories` and then drill down into any specific one for a quick health overview. - A test suite failed, but you think it might be temporary. Instead of waiting hours, use `restart_travis_build` to force a re-run immediately via your chat interface. ## How It Works The bottom line is, your AI client gets direct command-line control over build triggering and status management for all your repositories. 1. Install this marketplace connector onto your runtime. 2. Introduce your personal Travis CI API Token into the verified slot. 3. Instruct your AI agent to observe or intervene across your integration testing paths. ## Frequently Asked Questions **How do I list all repositories with Travis CI MCP?** You use `list_travis_repositories`. This command provides a full inventory of every repository connected to your account, letting you know exactly what codebases the agent can work on. **Can I restart a build using the Travis CI MCP?** Yes. You use `restart_travis_build`. This tool requires you to provide the specific build ID so that your agent knows exactly which old run needs to be forcefully re-tested. **What is the best way to check if a commit passed testing with Travis CI MCP?** The most efficient method is to use `get_build_details`. This retrieves all comprehensive data points for a specific build ID, telling you instantly if it succeeded or where it failed. **Does the Travis CI MCP let me see job-by-job status?** Absolutely. After finding a successful build run, you can call `list_build_jobs` to get an organized list of every single component or job that was executed within that overall build. **How do I cancel a build if it's running too long with Travis CI MCP?** You use the `cancel_travis_build` tool. Just provide the active build ID to your agent, and it will immediately halt the process, saving time.
