以下为本文档的中文说明

这是一个通过 Rube MCP（Model Context Protocol）中间件来自动化 CircleCI CI/CD 操作的技能。它基于 Composio 平台的 CircleCI 工具集，通过 Rube MCP 桥接 AI 代理与 CircleCI API 的交互，使得用户可以通过自然语言指令完成复杂的 CI/CD 管理任务。使用场景包括：需要触发新的流水线运行（Trigger Pipeline）、监控管道和工作流状态（Monitor Pipelines and Workflows）、查看具体的 Job 执行详情（Inspect Job Details）、获取构建产物（Retrieve Build Artifacts）以及检查测试结果（Review Test Metadata）。核心操作流程遵循严格的先决条件检查：首先确认 Rube MCP 可用，然后通过 RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS 建立 CircleCI 连接，确认连接状态为 ACTIVE 后才开始执行工作流。该技能提供了完整的参数说明和陷阱提示，例如 project_slug 的格式必须是 {vcs}/{org}/{repo}（如 gh/myorg/myrepo），branch 和 tag 参数互斥不能同时使用，以及 Pipeline ID 和工作流 ID 是 UUID 格式而 Job Number 是整数格式。它还定义了 Pipeline → Workflow → Job 的三层调用层级关系，以及分页处理的规范。此外，该技能覆盖了常见的错误处理和速率限制应对策略，如指数退避（Exponential Backoff）和合理的轮询间隔（5-10 秒），适合在生产环境中使用。

CircleCI Automation via Rube MCP

Automate CircleCI CI/CD operations through Composio’s CircleCI toolkit via Rube MCP.

Prerequisites

  • Rube MCP must be connected (RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS available)
  • Active CircleCI connection via RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit circleci
  • Always call RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS first to get current tool schemas

Setup

Get Rube MCP: Add https://rube.app/mcp as an MCP server in your client configuration. No API keys needed — just add the endpoint and it works.

  1. Verify Rube MCP is available by confirming RUBE_SEARCH_TOOLS responds
  2. Call RUBE_MANAGE_CONNECTIONS with toolkit circleci
  3. If connection is not ACTIVE, follow the returned auth link to complete CircleCI authentication
  4. Confirm connection status shows ACTIVE before running any workflows

Core Workflows

1. Trigger a Pipeline

When to use: User wants to start a new CI/CD pipeline run

Tool sequence:

  1. CIRCLECI_TRIGGER_PIPELINE - Trigger a new pipeline on a project [Required]
  2. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID - Monitor resulting workflows [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • project_slug: Project identifier in format gh/org/repo or bb/org/repo
  • branch: Git branch to run the pipeline on
  • tag: Git tag to run the pipeline on (mutually exclusive with branch)
  • parameters: Pipeline parameter key-value pairs

Pitfalls:

  • project_slug format is {vcs}/{org}/{repo} (e.g., gh/myorg/myrepo)
  • branch and tag are mutually exclusive; providing both causes an error
  • Pipeline parameters must match those defined in .circleci/config.yml
  • Triggering returns a pipeline ID; workflows start asynchronously

2. Monitor Pipelines and Workflows

When to use: User wants to check the status of pipelines or workflows

Tool sequence:

  1. CIRCLECI_LIST_PIPELINES_FOR_PROJECT - List recent pipelines for a project [Required]
  2. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID - List workflows within a pipeline [Required]
  3. CIRCLECI_GET_PIPELINE_CONFIG - View the pipeline configuration used [Optional]

Key parameters:

  • project_slug: Project identifier in {vcs}/{org}/{repo} format
  • pipeline_id: UUID of a specific pipeline
  • branch: Filter pipelines by branch name
  • page_token: Pagination cursor for next page of results

Pitfalls:

  • Pipeline IDs are UUIDs, not numeric IDs
  • Workflows inherit the pipeline ID; a single pipeline can have multiple workflows
  • Workflow states include: success, running, not_run, failed, error, failing, on_hold, canceled, unauthorized
  • page_token is returned in responses for pagination; continue until absent

3. Inspect Job Details

When to use: User wants to drill into a specific job’s execution details

Tool sequence:

  1. CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID - Find workflow containing the job [Prerequisite]
  2. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS - Get detailed job information [Required]

Key parameters:

  • project_slug: Project identifier
  • job_number: Numeric job number (not UUID)

Pitfalls:

  • Job numbers are integers, not UUIDs (unlike pipeline and workflow IDs)
  • Job details include executor type, parallelism, start/stop times, and status
  • Job statuses: success, running, not_run, failed, retried, timedout, infrastructure_fail, canceled

4. Retrieve Build Artifacts

When to use: User wants to download or list artifacts produced by a job

Tool sequence:

  1. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS - Confirm job completed successfully [Prerequisite]
  2. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_ARTIFACTS - List all artifacts from the job [Required]

Key parameters:

  • project_slug: Project identifier
  • job_number: Numeric job number

Pitfalls:

  • Artifacts are only available after job completion
  • Each artifact has a path and url for download
  • Artifact URLs may require authentication headers to download
  • Large artifacts may have download size limits

5. Review Test Results

When to use: User wants to check test outcomes for a specific job

Tool sequence:

  1. CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS - Verify job ran tests
    [Prerequisite]
  2. CIRCLECI_GET_TEST_METADATA - Retrieve test results and metadata [Required]

Key parameters:

  • project_slug: Project identifier
  • job_number: Numeric job number

Pitfalls:

  • Test metadata requires the job to have uploaded test results (JUnit XML format)
  • If no test results were uploaded, the response will be empty
  • Test metadata includes classname, name, result, message, and run_time fields
  • Failed tests include failure messages in the message field

Common Patterns

Project Slug Format

Format: {vcs_type}/{org_name}/{repo_name}
- GitHub:    gh/myorg/myrepo
- Bitbucket: bb/myorg/myrepo

Pipeline -> Workflow -> Job Hierarchy

1. Call CIRCLECI_LIST_PIPELINES_FOR_PROJECT to get pipeline IDs
2. Call CIRCLECI_LIST_WORKFLOWS_BY_PIPELINE_ID with pipeline_id
3. Extract job numbers from workflow details
4. Call CIRCLECI_GET_JOB_DETAILS with job_number

Pagination

  • Check response for next_page_token field
  • Pass token as page_token in next request
  • Continue until next_page_token is absent or null

Known Pitfalls

ID Formats:

  • Pipeline IDs: UUIDs (e.g., 5034460f-c7c4-4c43-9457-de07e2029e7b)
  • Workflow IDs: UUIDs
  • Job numbers: Integers (e.g., 123)
  • Do NOT mix up UUIDs and integers between different endpoints

Project Slugs:

  • Must include VCS prefix: gh/ for GitHub, bb/ for Bitbucket
  • Organization and repo names are case-sensitive
  • Incorrect slug format causes 404 errors

Rate Limits:

  • CircleCI API has per-endpoint rate limits
  • Implement exponential backoff on 429 responses
  • Avoid rapid polling; use reasonable intervals (5-10 seconds)
