          "url": "https://argocd.example.com"
        }
      }

Here are the key settings for your ArgoCD server:
- URL: https://argocd.example.com
- Controller namespace: argocd
- Exec enabled: Yes
- Status badge enabled: Yes
- UI Banner: "This is a development instance of ArgoCD"

User: What applications do I have in the "production" project?

Claude: Let me list your applications in the production project.

⏺ argocd-mcp:list_applications (MCP)
  ⎿  {
        "items": [
          {

- api-service (OutOfSync, Healthy)
- database (Synced, Degraded)

User: Sync the api-service application

Claude: I'll sync the api-service application for you.

⏺ argocd-mcp:sync_application (MCP)
  ⎿  {
