  The Continuous Delivery Foundation runs no MCP server of its own. Jenkins — the CDF project with
  the largest install base — ships an OFFICIAL one as a first-party plugin in the jenkinsci
  organization: the MCP Server plugin, built on the MCP Java SDK 0.17.2 against MCP specification
  2025-06-18. It is self-hosted by design: the server runs inside the operator's own Jenkins
  controller and answers on that controller's host, so there is no vendor-hosted URL to call and
  no anonymous tools/list to introspect. The tool list below is transcribed verbatim from the
  plugin README's "Available Tools" section; input schemas are advertised by the running server
  via MCP introspection and were not fetched, because reaching one requires an operator's own
  Jenkins instance and an API token.
deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://<your-jenkins-host>/mcp-server/mcp
  endpoint_is_template: true
  install: Install the "MCP Server" plugin (id mcp-server) from the Jenkins Plugin Manager
  package: https://plugins.jenkins.io/mcp-server/
  auth: api-key
  verified: searched
  note: >-
    mode is `remote` because an MCP client POSTs to an https URL, not because anyone hosts it for
    you — the host is the operator's own Jenkins controller, exactly as an OpenAPI `servers[]`
    entry can be templated. Auth is HTTP Basic carrying a Jenkins user + API token, so the
    server inherits that user's Jenkins permissions. No public endpoint exists to probe.

      Meaning") arguing MCP and CDEvents are complementary layers; it announces no server.
