<!-- mcp-name: io.github.imatza-rh/mcp-zuul -->
mcp-zuul
Debug build failures by asking questions, not clicking through web UIs. An MCP server for Zuul CI.
If mcp-zuul saves you a debugging session, a ⭐ star helps others find it.
One command, no install:
claude mcp add zuul -e ZUUL_URL=https://your-zuul.example.com -- uvx mcp-zuul48 tools, 5 prompts, 3 resources — covering builds, logs, pipelines, jobs, infrastructure, and live status. Works with Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client.
Why mcp-zuul?
Quick Start
uvx (no install, recommended):
claude mcp add zuul \
-e ZUUL_URL=https://softwarefactory-project.io/zuul \
-e ZUUL_DEFAULT_TENANT=rdoproject.org \
-- uvx mcp-zuulpip:
pip install mcp-zuulDocker:
docker build -t mcp-zuul .LobeHub — send this to your AI agent:
Read https://lobehub.com/mcp/imatza-rh-mcp-zuul/skill.md and follow the instructions to install the MCP server.See Setup for full configuration options including Kerberos and multi-instance.
Features
Structured failure analysis — getbuildfailures parses Zuul's job-output.json and returns exactly which Ansible task failed, on which host, with error message, return code, and stderr. No log scrolling needed.
Read any log file — getbuildlog isn't limited to job-output.txt. Pass logname to read any file in the build's log directory (ciscript logs, ansible.log, deployment logs) with full grep, tail, and line-range support.
Precise log navigation — Jump to exact line ranges with startline/endline. After finding an error at line 6148, read lines 6130-6160 instead of scrolling through 200-line chunks.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
