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.

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
Set up GitHub's official MCP server in Cursor IDE: remote api.githubcopilot.com URL, Docker local path, PAT auth, toolsets, read-only mode, and troubleshooting.
GitLab projects and pipelines
Set up GitLab official MCP server in Cursor IDE: https://gitlab.com/api/v4/mcp, OAuth, Self-Managed URL, mcp-remote fallback, tools, and troubleshooting.
Bitbucket with an app password

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.
