mcp-server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes Tekton (pipeline/task/pipelinerun/taskrun) operations as MCP tools, including listing, creating/updating/patching, deleting, starting/restarting, and integration with Artifact Hub to discover/install/trigger Tekton tasks and pipelines.

Secret Handling

No TLS/auth/secret-handling details are provided in the README. Since the server performs cluster operations and accepts YAML, the primary security posture likely relies on Kubernetes RBAC and the deployment environment rather than documented MCP-layer protections.

Best When

You have an MCP-capable agent/runtime and a secured Kubernetes/Tekton environment where the agent should manage Tekton resources and optionally install/trigger community Tekton content via Artifact Hub.

Avoid When

You need documented authentication, authorization model, rate limiting behavior, or robust error/idempotency semantics at the MCP/tooling layer (not shown in the provided README).

Use Cases

• Agent-driven management of Tekton resources (CRUD, start/restart) in Kubernetes clusters
• Querying Tekton objects (pipelines, tasks, runs) with simple filtering inputs
• Automating deployment of Tekton tasks/pipelines from Artifact Hub and triggering them
• Building chat/agent workflows that operate on Tekton resources via MCP tool calls

Not For

• Public, internet-facing control planes without cluster-level security hardening
• Use cases requiring strong audit logging and fine-grained RBAC guarantees as part of the MCP layer (not evidenced in README)
• Highly cost-sensitive automation where rate limiting and workload limits are critical (not documented)

Known Gotchas

⚠ Create operations accept raw YAML; the agent must generate valid Tekton YAML and ensure required fields are present.
⚠ Start/restart/delete operations are potentially destructive or state-changing; agents should confirm intent and namespaces.
⚠ Filtering and selector inputs require correct formatting (e.g., label/field selectors) to avoid unintended resource sets.

Alternatives

Use Tekton CLI/Kubectl directly with an agent (e.g., via a Kubernetes tool) Direct integration with Kubernetes API for Tekton CRDs Use Artifact Hub APIs/CLI workflows and then trigger Tekton via Kubernetes
