Quality: 60/100 (Good) | Auth: No auth required
Verdict Summary: Choose Mcp Zuul if you need specialized Developer Tools tools running via a local process. Choose Mcp Zenml if your workspace requires Developer Tools integration with local subprocess execution. Both servers can be configured concurrently in your client's mcpServers manifest.
Which MCP Server Should You Choose?
Choose Mcp Zuul when:
You need dedicated capabilities in the Developer Tools domain.
You prefer local stdio subprocess transport architecture.
Your security boundary fits: other (Free / Open Source).
You have access to required keys: ZUUL_URL, ZUUL_DEFAULT_TENANT, ZUUL_ENABLED_TOOLS, ZUUL_DISABLED_TOOLS, ZUUL_READ_ONLY, LOGJUICER_URL, MCP_TRANSPORT.
Search builds by project, pipeline, job, change, result. Includes `buildset_uuid` for cross-referencing.
get_build
Full build details — nodeset, log URL, artifacts, error detail. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
get_build_failures
Start here for failures.** Structured task-level data from `job-output.json` — failed play, task, host, msg, rc, stderr/stdout. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
diagnose_build
One-call failure diagnosis.** Combines structured failures from `job-output.json` with targeted log context (fatal/FAILED lines with surrounding context from `job-output.txt`). Use instead of calling `get_build_failures` + `get_build_log` separately. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
get_build_log
Read and search log files. Modes: `summary` (tail + error lines), `full` (paginated), `grep` (regex + context), `start_line`/`end_line` (exact range). Supports `log_name` for any file. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Mcp Zuul is categorized under Developer Tools and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Mcp Zenml belongs to Developer Tools using local stdio subprocess. Select Mcp Zuul when you need capabilities focused on developer tools and Mcp Zenml when you require tools for developer tools.
Fastest failure check.** Last N lines of a log (default 50, max 500). More token-efficient than `get_build_log` summary mode. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
browse_build_logs
List log directory contents or fetch specific files (inventory, artifacts, must-gather). Max 512KB per file. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
stream_build_console
Live console from RUNNING builds.** Connects to Zuul WebSocket, returns last N lines (tail). For completed builds, use `tail_build_log`. Optional — requires `pip install mcp-zuul[console]`.
list_buildsets
Search buildsets. Use `include_builds=true` to inline full build details (saves round-trips).
get_buildset
Full buildset with all builds and events. Accepts `url` or `uuid`.
get_status
Live pipeline status — what's queued, running, with job progress and ETA. Filterable by pipeline and project.
get_change_status
Status for a change/PR/MR. In pipeline: live jobs with elapsed times. Not in pipeline: auto-fetches latest completed buildset. Accepts `url` or `change`.
