MCP server for Blacksmith CI - query runs, analyze test failures, detect flaky tests.
Connect Blacksmith to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. MCP server for Blacksmith CI - query runs, analyze test failures, detect flaky tests. The blacksmith mcp server is what makes that connection.
An MCP server that connects Claude to your Blacksmith CI data. Query workflow runs, analyze test failures, detect flaky tests, and monitor usage—all through natural conversation.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
get_current_usage — Current core usage (active vs max)get_invoice_amount — Current billing period amountget_usage_summary — Billable minutes vs free tierget_cache_stats — Cache size, entries by repositoryget_cache_entries — Detailed cache entries for a repoAuthentication — The Authentication tool exposed by this serverOrganization — The Organization tool exposed by this serverConfiguration is passed through the environment: BLACKSMITH_ORG. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at blacksmith-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Blacksmith's toolset — get_current_usage, get_invoice_amount, get_usage_summary and 4 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by grahamnotgrant; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
