Release 25.3 - Understanding the MCP Server Beta

Overview In our 25.3 launch, we added an MCP server to implement AI into release orchestration processes. Learn more about how it's helping users!

What it is An AI-aware control plane for Release that lets you create/search/manage releases, design templates, tune gates, and analyze failures in one place. It works with existing Release features and integrations.ย 

General use cases (problem โ†’ solution)ย 

  1. Triage time is slow โ†’ Use natural-language queries (โ€œshow promotions that failed perf_gate in prod in last 24hโ€) to retrieve the runs, logs, artifacts, and failing conditions; generate remediation steps.ย 

  1. Policy drift across teams โ†’ Define promotion/gate/evidence policies once in shared templates; MCP helps find projects on old versions and prompts upgrades.ย 

  1. Inconsistent integrations/variables โ†’ Standardize Jenkins/Jira/Git connections and variable schemas at folder/template scope; block promotion if required variables are missing.ย 

  1. Unclear audit trail โ†’ Query releases by gate, owner, or risk; export evidence (inputs, checks, approvals) from one place.ย
