MCP Server for Spinnaker

What is MCP Server for Spinnaker?

MCP Server for Spinnaker is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI models to interact with Spinnaker deployments, pipelines, and applications through a standardized MCP interface. It is designed for developers and DevOps engineers looking to integrate AI (e.g., Claude) into CI/CD workflows.

How to use MCP Server for Spinnaker?

Install via npm or yarn, then import and initialize the server with your Spinnaker Gate URL, a list of applications, and monitored environments. Start the server on a configurable port. The server provides tools like get-applications, get-pipelines, and trigger-pipeline for AI models to query and manage Spinnaker.

FAQ from MCP Server for Spinnaker

What does this server do that Spinnaker’s own API cannot?

It wraps Spinnaker’s API into the Model Context Protocol, allowing AI models like Claude to access and act on Spinnaker data using a standardized interface, without needing custom integration code.

What dependencies or runtime does it require?

Node.js and npm or yarn. It communicates with a running Spinnaker Gate instance (URL required).

Where does data live?

All application, pipeline, and deployment data is fetched from Spinnaker; the MCP server does not store data persistently.

What transport does the server use?

It runs as an HTTP server (default port 3000) and exposes MCP tools via that transport.

How do I configure authentication?

The README does not mention authentication. You may need to handle Spinnaker authentication separately (e.g., via the Gate URL).
