What is the Rundeck MCP server used for?

This server connects Claude to Rundeck's API, enabling you to query projects, trigger job executions, and monitor operational workflows through natural language. It's designed for developers who want to automate infrastructure and deployment tasks without leaving their chat interface.

How do I authenticate with Rundeck?

Set the required `RUNDECK_API_KEY` environment variable with your Rundeck API token. Optionally configure `RUNDECK_API_URL` to point to your Rundeck instance; if not set, it will use a default endpoint.

Do I need a Rundeck account or self-hosted instance?

You need access to a Rundeck instance (self-hosted or cloud) and a valid API key. The server communicates via the Rundeck API, so ensure your instance is reachable at the configured URL.

Can I trigger jobs and monitor their execution status?

Yes, the Rundeck API integration allows you to execute jobs and query their status. Refer to the Rundeck API documentation for available job execution and history endpoints supported by this server.

What if my Rundeck instance uses a custom domain or port?

Set the `RUNDECK_API_URL` environment variable to your instance's full API endpoint (e.g., `https://rundeck.example.com:4440/api`). The server will use this URL for all API requests.
