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

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"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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:

{
  "servers": {
    "jenkins": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/sse",
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

3. Run the Jenkins MCP server with the following command:

uvx mcp-jenkins \
  --jenkins-url http://localhost:3000 \
  --jenkins-username your_username  \
  --jenkins-password your_password \
  --transport sse --port 3000

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
