MCP Servers for Code Hosting and CI/CD
These servers put your repositories, pipelines and API collections in reach of the assistant, which is what turns "explain this stack trace" into "explain this stack trace and show me the commit that introduced it". Most of them are token-based, and the token scope is the whole security story.
Read-only mode is worth knowing about before you start. The GitHub server can register only its read tools, which lets an assistant browse and summarise a repository with no path to pushing anything, and pairing that with a narrow token enforces the limit on both sides.

Repositories
GitHub issues, PRs, Actions and code search
Connect GitHub to Claude, Cursor, and VS Code with the official GitHub MCP server. Read issues and PRs, browse code, trigger Actions, and review security alerts from your AI assistant.
GitHub in Cursor: hosted endpoint or local Docker
Add GitHub MCP to Cursor IDE: mcp.json for api.githubcopilot.com, PAT auth, Docker fallback, dev container fix, Projects toolset, and MCP log fixes. GitHub repos, PRs, and Actions only — not Linear.
GitLab projects and pipelines
GitLab MCP server Cursor IDE setup 2026: the exact mcp.json configuration for https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp, every field Cursor accepts, multi-instance setups, OAuth, and the config errors that keep GitLab from appearing in Cursor.
Bitbucket with an app password
Bitbucket MCP server Cursor IDE setup 2026, updated for the API token migration: Bitbucket Cloud app passwords were fully removed July 28, 2026. The exact API token scopes and mcp.json block your AI needs to read PRs, check pipelines, and manage branches. Cloud and Server/Data Center configs included.
Pipelines, APIs and flags
CircleCI pipelines and build failures
Set up the official CircleCI MCP server in Cursor IDE: Personal API Token config, exact mcp.json block, and asking Cursor 'why did my last build fail' instead of digging through logs.
Postman collections
Connect Postman's official MCP server to Cursor IDE — remote with OAuth or local with a Postman API key — to turn your collections and OpenAPI specs into tools your AI can call directly.
LaunchDarkly feature flags
Connect LaunchDarkly to Cursor IDE with the official @launchdarkly/mcp-server: local API-key config or the hosted OAuth server, exact mcp.json blocks, and real flag/observability workflows.
