Jenkins MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Jenkins and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 59 Jenkins actions (35 reads, 15 writes and 9 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Jenkins credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Jenkins's limits and records every call.

Set up

Connect Jenkins in three steps.

  1. 01

    Add actionlake to Claude.

    Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.

    https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp
  2. 02

    Connect Jenkins.

    Username and secret. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.

    • usernameJenkins user id (login name) the API token belongs to

    • hostWhere your Jenkins lives: your host
    account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "jenkins" }
# free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
  3. 03

    Make the first call. Check before a write.

    Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, check validates the call and prices it, for free.

Top actions

The Jenkins API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 20 of Jenkins's 20 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

Try it

Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Jenkins actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

  1. Readread

    Who has access in Jenkins? List every user and their role.

    callsjenkins.users.list

  2. Writewrite

    Create a job from config.xml in Jenkins. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.

    callsjenkins.jobs.create

Governance for Jenkins

Destructive actions wait for a yes.

9 Jenkins actions are destructive. These are all of them:

  • Delete a jobjenkins.jobs.delete
  • Abort a running Pipeline buildjenkins.builds.cancel
  • Run a Groovy script on the controllerjenkins.script.run
  • Shut Jenkins down once running builds finishjenkins.safe_shutdown.run
  • Run a Groovy script on an agentjenkins.nodes.script.run
  • Revoke a user's API tokenjenkins.users.api_tokens.delete
  • Cancel a queued buildjenkins.queue.items.cancel
  • Hard-kill a Pipeline buildjenkins.builds.force.cancel
  • Reject a pending input stepjenkins.builds.inputs.cancel

A destructive action runs only with confirm: true. Under the human policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

Illustrative. Scoped to Jenkins only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

What Jenkins costs on actionlake.

Every Jenkins action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, check, cost, account and any call Jenkins refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Questions

The Jenkins MCP server, answered.

Is there a Jenkins MCP server for Claude?

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 59 Jenkins actions across builds, jobs, views and nodes, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Jenkins.

What do I need to connect Jenkins?

Jenkins user id (login name) the API token belongs to and API token: in Jenkins click your name (top right) > Security (or Configure) > API Token > Add new token. Plus your host. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "jenkins" } lists exactly what to paste.

Can an AI agent delete or change things in Jenkins?

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 9 Jenkins actions are destructive, including delete a job, abort a running Pipeline build and run a Groovy script on the controller. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

Will an AI agent use up my Jenkins API limit?

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Jenkins service file: 10 calls a second per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (30 Jenkins actions can be), which never reaches Jenkins.

What does a Jenkins action cost?

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (59 Jenkins actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Jenkins refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

Which Jenkins API does it cover?

The Jenkins Remote Access API (2.4xx LTS) with Pipeline: Stage View, Pipeline: Input Step and Pipeline: Declarative at your Jenkins instance's API base URL, which you enter when connecting. It is built from Jenkins's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 59 actions in 22 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

Does actionlake keep my Jenkins data, and where?

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 1 minute, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Jenkins credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

Which AI clients can use it?

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
