About
Octopus Deploy MCP Server
README
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for interacting with Octopus Deploy. This server provides tools for managing projects, releases, and deployments through the MCP protocol.
Features
- Project Management: List and query Octopus Deploy projects
- Release Management: Get latest releases and create new releases
- Deployment Management: Deploy releases and check deployment status
- Multi-Space Support: Work with different Octopus Deploy spaces
- Docker Support: Containerized deployment for easy integration
Installation
1. Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/armanzeroeight/octopus-deploy-mcp-server.git
cd octopus-deploy-mcp
2. Build Docker Image
./scripts/build.sh
This will create a Docker image tagged as octopus-deploy-mcp:latest.
MCP Configuration
Add the following configuration to your MCP client's mcp.json file:
{
"inputs": [
{
"type": "promptString",
"id": "octopus-api-key",
"description": "Octopus Deploy API key",
"password": true
}
],
"servers": {
"octopus-deploy-mcp-server": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "docker",
"args": [
"run",
"--rm",
"-i",
"-e",
"OCTOPUS_URL",
"-e",
"OCTOPUS_API_KEY",
"octopus-deploy-mcp:latest",
"octopus-deploy-mcp"
],
"env": {
"OCTOPUS_URL": "https://your-octopus-server.com",
"OCTOPUS_API_KEY": "${input:octopus-api-key}"
}
}
}
}
Configuration Notes
- Replace
https://your-octopus-server.comwith your actual Octopus Deploy server URL (without/apisuffix) - The API key will be prompted securely when the MCP client starts
- The Docker image must be built locally using the build script
