Does CircleCI have an MCP server?
CircleCI maintains an official MCP server.
CircleCI deprecated its open-source local server (CircleCI-Public/mcp-server-circleci) in favour of the hosted endpoint.

A remote server run by CircleCI itself — nothing to install. Documented at circleci.com.
Hosted by the vendor — no install, connect over HTTP with OAuth or a token.
Add it from the terminal, then restart your session:
claude mcp add --transport http circleci https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcpAdd --scope user to make it available in every project.
- Open Settings → Connectors
- Click Add custom connector
- Paste
https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp - Finish the sign-in prompt, then enable it in the chat's tools menu
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for
every project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"circleci": {
"url": "https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}A green dot in Settings → MCP means it connected.
Add to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"circleci": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp"
}
}
}Then pick the server from the tools menu in Copilot's agent mode.
- Enable Developer mode under Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced
- Choose Create and paste
https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp - Complete sign-in, then enable the connector in a new chat

How do I connect CircleCI to Claude?
Add https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp as a custom connector under Settings → Connectors in Claude Desktop or claude.ai, or run "claude mcp add --transport http circleci https://mcp.circleci.com/v1/mcp" in Claude Code.
Do I need to install anything to use the CircleCI MCP server?
No. It is a remote server hosted by CircleCI, so your MCP client connects to it over HTTP. You authenticate with the vendor rather than installing a package.
