Manage Harness Internal Developer Portal (IDP) resources via MCP. Create service catalog templates, configure self-service environment provisioning workflows, generate service documentation, create Architecture Decision Records (ADRs), and design developer onboarding workflows. Use when asked to set up a service catalog, create self-service workflows, generate service docs, write ADRs, or onboard new developers. Do NOT use for service scorecards (use scorecard-review instead). Trigger phrases: service catalog, self-service, developer portal, IDP, onboarding workflow, ADR, architecture decision, service documentation, catalog template, developer experience, backstage.

Manage Harness Code pull requests via MCP. List, create, update, and merge PRs; add reviewers and submit review decisions (approve / request changes); post, update, and delete comments; read the discussion timeline; and check CI status. Use when asked to open a PR, merge a PR, approve a PR, leave a code review comment, request changes, assign reviewers, or inspect PR checks and activity. Trigger phrases: pull request, PR review, merge PR, approve PR, request changes, add reviewer, PR comments, PR checks, PR activity, code review.

Manage Harness RBAC roles, role assignments, permissions, and resource groups via MCP v2 tools. List, create, update, and delete custom roles. View role assignments and permissions for users, groups, and service accounts. Use when asked to manage access control, assign roles, check permissions, create custom roles, review RBAC configuration, onboard users, or audit access. Trigger phrases: manage roles, RBAC, role assignment, user permissions, access control, custom role, resource group, who has access, grant access, revoke access.

Assist with Harness Service Reliability Management (SRM) tasks that the MCP server currently supports: pulling recent deployments for incident correlation, generating on-call handover reports from deployment/execution history, and drafting operational runbooks. Use when asked about SLOs, error budgets, burn-rate alerts, on-call handover, runbooks, or incident triage. Do NOT use for DORA metrics (use dora-metrics instead) or chaos experiments (use chaos-experiment instead). Trigger phrases: SLO, SLI, error budget, burn rate, on-call handover, runbook, service reliability, incident response, on-call shift.

Manage Harness Software Supply Chain Assurance (SSCA) via MCP. Configure automated SBOM generation with CycloneDX or SPDX formats, set up artifact signing and attestation with Cosign, define supply chain security policies using OPA, and track SLSA provenance levels. Use when asked to generate SBOMs, sign artifacts, enforce supply chain policies, track software provenance, or manage SLSA compliance. Do NOT use for OPA pipeline governance policies (use create-policy instead) or vulnerability scanning (use security-report instead). Trigger phrases: SBOM, software bill of materials, supply chain security, SLSA, artifact signing, cosign, provenance, attestation, CycloneDX, SPDX, supply chain policy.

Manage Harness users, user groups, and service accounts via MCP. List and search users, create and manage user groups for team-based access, create service accounts for API automation, and view available permissions. Use when asked to list users, create a user group, manage service accounts, check who has access, or set up team permissions. Do NOT use for role assignments or resource groups (use manage-roles instead). Trigger phrases: list users, user group, service account, who has access, team permissions, add user to group, create service account.

Migrate Harness pipelines from v0 to v1 simplified format via MCP tools. Converts expressions from angle-bracket to ${{ }} syntax, lowercases type names, simplifies structure, and preserves variables, failure strategies, and conditional logic. Use when asked to migrate a pipeline, convert v0 to v1, upgrade pipeline format, modernize pipeline syntax, or compare v0 vs v1. Trigger phrases: migrate pipeline, convert to v1, upgrade pipeline, v0 to v1, modernize pipeline, simplified format.

Optimize Harness CI/CD pipeline performance via MCP. Configure parallel test execution with Test Intelligence, design multi-layer caching strategies, analyze pipeline bottlenecks with stage-level timing breakdowns, optimize cache hit rates, and design monorepo CI pipelines with selective builds. Use when asked to speed up pipelines, improve cache hit rates, set up parallel testing, optimize build times, or configure monorepo builds. Do NOT use for creating new pipelines (use create-pipeline instead) or debugging failures (use debug-pipeline instead). Trigger phrases: pipeline speed, slow pipeline, cache hit rate, parallel tests, test intelligence, build optimization, caching strategy, monorepo pipeline, pipeline bottleneck, build speed.

Analyze pull request impact on Harness pipelines via MCP. Assess PR pipeline impact by identifying which pipelines, services, and environments are affected by code changes. Perform security-focused PR reviews checking for secrets, vulnerabilities, and compliance. Track PRs from merge through deployment to production verification. Use when asked to analyze PR impact, review PR security, or track a PR to production. Trigger phrases: PR impact, pull request analysis, PR security review, PR to production, merge impact, deployment tracking, code change impact, PR pipeline, which pipelines affected.

Execute and monitor Harness pipeline runs via MCP tools. Find pipelines, provide runtime inputs, trigger executions, monitor progress, handle approvals, retry failures, and abort running or stuck executions. Use when asked to run a pipeline, execute a deployment, trigger a build, start a pipeline, deploy a service, check execution status, approve a pipeline, or abort/stop/interrupt executions. Trigger phrases: run pipeline, execute pipeline, deploy, start build, trigger pipeline, check execution, approve deployment, retry failed pipeline, abort execution, stop pipeline, interrupt execution, kill stuck pipeline.
