Can I use Jenkins as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Jenkins CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Jenkins through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Jenkins tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Jenkins credentials stored?

Jenkins credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Jenkins MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Jenkins CLI for Shell Scripts

Use the Jenkins CLI for shell scripts with headless JSON commands, schema discovery, credentials, and permission controls.

Jenkins CLI for Shell Scripts

Call integration functions from shell scripts with stable JSON input and output.

Use shell scripts for small local automations that need one or more integration calls. The Jenkins CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Jenkins CLI for Shell Scripts
kosmokrator integrations:configure jenkins --set api_token="$JENKINS_API_TOKEN" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call jenkins.jenkins_list_jobs '{}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Jenkins docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs jenkins --json
kosmo integrations:docs jenkins.jenkins_list_jobs --json
kosmo integrations:schema jenkins.jenkins_list_jobs --json
kosmo integrations:search "Jenkins" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Jenkins CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`jenkins.jenkins_list_jobs`	Read	none	List all Jenkins jobs. Returns job names, URLs, colors (build status), and basic metadata.
`jenkins.jenkins_get_job`	Read	job_name	Get detailed information about a specific Jenkins job, including description, last build, health reports, and parameters.
`jenkins.jenkins_create_job`	Write	name, mode, description, config	Create a new Jenkins job. Requires a job name and configuration.
`jenkins.jenkins_list_builds`	Read	job_name, status, per_page	List builds for a specific Jenkins job, including build numbers, results, durations, and timestamps.
`jenkins.jenkins_get_build`	Read	job_name, build_number	Get detailed information about a specific Jenkins build, including result, duration, console output, artifacts, and change sets.
`jenkins.jenkins_list_nodes`	Read	none	List all Jenkins nodes (agents), including name, offline status, and executor count.
`jenkins.jenkins_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get the authenticated Jenkins user's profile information, including user ID, full name, and email.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
