Cursor Demo

Setup Guide

Installation

Choose one of these installation methods:

# Using uv (recommended)
pip install uv
uvx mcp-jenkins

# Using pip
pip install mcp-jenkins

# Using Smithery
npx -y @smithery/cli@latest install @lanbaoshen/mcp-jenkins --client claude

Docker Installation

Pull the latest image from GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/lanbaoshen/mcp-jenkins:latest

Configuration and Usage

Cursor

1. Open Cursor Settings
2. Navigate to MCP
3. Click + Add new global MCP server

This will create or edit the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file with your MCP server configuration.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-jenkins": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-jenkins",
        "--jenkins-url=xxx",
        "--jenkins-username=xxx",
        "--jenkins-password=xxx"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: You can set your Jenkins token to password too!

VSCode Copilot Chat

1. Create .vscode folder with mcp.json file in you workspace for local setup or edit settings.json trough settings menù.
2. Insert the following configuration:

Option 1: Using HTTP Headers (Recommended)

Pass Jenkins credentials directly via HTTP headers in the mcp.json configuration. This method leverages FastMCP's ASGI middleware to securely extract credentials from HTTP request headers.

• SSE mode

{
    "servers": {
        "jenkins": {
            "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse",
            "type": "sse",
            "headers": {
                "x-jenkins-url": "https://your-jenkins-server.com",
                "x-jenkins-username": "your-username",
                "x-jenkins-password": "your-api-token"
            }
        }
    }
}

• Streamable-Http mode (Recommended)

{
    "servers": {
        "mcp-jenkins": {
            "autoApprove": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "timeout": 60,
            "type": "streamableHttp",
            "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "x-jenkins-url": "https://your-jenkins-server.com",
                "x-jenkins-username": "your-username",
                "x-jenkins-password": "your-api-token"
            }
        }
    }
}

Then start the MCP server without credentials (they'll be automatically extracted from headers):

# For SSE transport
uvx mcp-jenkins --transport sse --port 3000

# For streamable-http transport  
uvx mcp-jenkins --transport streamable-http --port 3000

Option 2: Using CLI Arguments (Traditional Method)

Pass credentials when starting the server:

• SSE mode

{
    "servers": {
        "jenkins": {
            "url": "http://localhost:9887/sse",
            "type": "sse"
        }
    }
}

• Streamable-Http mode

{
    "servers": {
        "mcp-jenkins": {
            "autoApprove": [],
            "disabled": false,
            "timeout": 60,
            "type": "streamableHttp",
            "url": "http://localhost:9887/mcp"
        }
    }
}

Start the server (credentials will be read from environment variables):

uvx mcp-jenkins --transport sse --port 3000
# or
uvx mcp-jenkins --transport streamable-http --port 3000

Option 3: Using CLI Arguments (Sets Environment Variables)

Pass credentials as command-line arguments. These will be set as environment variables for the server process:

uvx mcp-jenkins \
  --jenkins-url https://your-jenkins-server.com \
  --jenkins-username your_username  \
  --jenkins-password your_password_or_token \
  --transport sse --port 9887

line arguments

# Stdio Mode
uvx mcp-jenkins --jenkins-url xxx --jenkins-username xxx --jenkins-password xxx --read-only

# SSE Mode
uvx mcp-jenkins --jenkins-url xxx --jenkins-username xxx --jenkins-password xxx --transport sse --port 9887

# Streamable-Http Mode
uvx mcp-jenkins --jenkins-url xxx --jenkins-username xxx --jenkins-password xxx --transport streamable-http --port 9887

            '--jenkins-password',
            'xxx',
            '--jenkins-url',
            'xxx'
        ],
    )

    # Get the translation tool from the server
    adapter = await StdioMcpToolAdapter.from_server_params(server_params, 'get_all_jobs')

    # Create an agent that can use the translation tool
    agent = AssistantAgent(
        name='jenkins_assistant',
        model_client=[Replace_with_your_model_client],
        tools=[adapter],
    )

    # Let the agent translate some text
    await Console(
        agent.run_stream(task='Get all jobs', cancellation_token=CancellationToken())
    )


if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
