Jenkins MCP Server

# Using UVX with Jenkins MCP Server This guide explains how to use the `uvx` command to install and run the Jenkins MCP server. ## What is UVX? `uvx` is a command-line utility that simplifies installation and execution of Python packages directly from Git repositories or local directories, without requiring a virtual environment setup. It's particularly useful for MCP servers that need to be installed globally. ## Installation ### 1. Install the UV package manager ```bash pip install uv ``` ### 2. Install Jenkins MCP Server ```bash # Install from GitHub repository uvx install git+https://github.com/yourusername/jenkins-mcp-server.git # OR install from a local directory cd /path/to/jenkins-mcp-server uvx install . ``` ## Running the Server Once installed, you can run the Jenkins MCP server directly with: ```bash uvx jenkins-mcp-server ``` Optional flags: - `--verbose` or `-v`: Shows additional connection information - `--version`: Shows the version of the MCP server ## VS Code Integration UVX is the recommended method for running the MCP server with VS Code: ```json "mcp.servers": { "jenkins-mcp-server": { "type": "stdio", "command": "uvx", "args": ["jenkins-mcp-server"] } } ``` ## Upgrading To upgrade to a newer version: ```bash uvx install --upgrade git+https://github.com/yourusername/jenkins-mcp-server.git ``` ## Uninstalling To remove the package: ```bash uvx uninstall jenkins-mcp-server ``` ## Troubleshooting If you encounter issues: 1. Ensure you have the latest version of `uv`: ```bash pip install --upgrade uv ``` 2. Try with verbose output: ```bash uvx jenkins-mcp-server --verbose ``` 3. Check your Jenkins server settings in VS Code global settings or `.env` file
