MCP server
Drive Automaintainer from an agentic terminal (Claude Code, opencode, …) as
native tools — no shelling out. am-cloud mcp runs a stdio
MCP server backed by the same panel API and
API key as am-cloud platform.
Configure your MCP client
Point your client at the am-cloud binary with the mcp subcommand. Most clients
take a command + env:
{
"mcpServers": {
"automaintainer": {
"command": "am-cloud",
"args": ["mcp"],
"env": {
"AM_PANEL": "https://automaintainer.intrane.fr",
"AM_API_KEY": "amk_..."
}
}
}
}
Get AM_API_KEY from Settings → API key (or API key).
--panel / --api-key flags also work if your client passes args instead of env.
Transport is stdio only (JSON-RPC over stdin/stdout) — there's no port to open and no inbound network exposure.
initializeandtools/listwork without credentials, so a client can introspect the tools before you set the key.
Tools
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
am_status |
Account + connected worker status |
am_repo_list |
List your repos (id, name, focus, enabled) |
am_repo_run |
Run a repo and optionally wait for the verified result. Identify by repo_url (added if missing — the one-shot) or id; focus and wait optional. Returns {run_id, status, pr_url} |
am_repo_set |
Configure a repo (focus, verify_cmd, objective, team_config, arch_context, auto_merge, issue_scout) |
am_runs |
Recent runs (optionally by repo_id) |
am_run_get |
One run by run_id (status, verify_status, pr_url) |
am_probe |
Liveness-probe a cli/model before spending a run |
Tool failures come back as MCP isError content (with the message), so the agent
can read and react rather than crashing.
The one-shot, as a tool call
The headline flow — "enrich docs/ in this repo, run now" — is a single
am_repo_run:
{ "name": "am_repo_run",
"arguments": { "repo_url": "https://github.com/you/your-repo", "focus": "enrich docs/", "wait": true } }
It adds the repo if it's new, sets the focus, runs, and (with wait) returns the
verified PR. Re-running the same repo_url reuses the repo (no duplicate).
CLI vs MCP
Both surfaces wrap the same API. Use the CLI for scripts and shell pipelines; use MCP when an agent should call AM as first-class tools. See the Agent cheatsheet for the full JSON contract and self-healing loops.
