Release MCP Tools Plugin

Digital.ai Release SaaS includes a built-in Model Context Protocol (MCP) server through the bundled Release MCP Tools Plugin. The MCP server lets AI agents securely interact with releases, templates, tasks, and variables.

The MCP server is enabled by default in Digital.ai Release SaaS. No installation or configuration is required: you can connect an AI agent right away, and Ask Release works without any additional setup.

Connect an AI Agent

To connect an AI client, add the MCP server configuration below to your client's MCP settings. The configuration includes the server URL and the x-release-personal-token header, which authenticates the AI agent with your Release personal access token. The AI agent can access only the resources that your user is permitted to access.

The following example shows an MCP server configuration for the Visual Studio Code mcp.json file:

{
    "servers": {
        "Digital.ai Release": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://<your-release-host>/s/mcp",
            "headers": {
                "x-release-personal-token": "YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN"
            }
        }
    }
}

The MCP server URL is your Release server base URL followed by /s/mcp, for example https://release.example.com/s/mcp.

For Cursor and Claude Code, use the same x-release-personal-token header. For Claude Desktop, pass it on the command line as --header x-release-personal-token: YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Replace the placeholder values with your Release server URL and your personal access token.
