MCP server exposing Spinnaker CD platform via Gate API for pipeline and deployment management
What the code does
We read the source, 1 d ago · rules 995398eba69f
What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.
postinstall: node postinstall.js
execFileSync(tar, ["-xf", archive, "-C", tmp, BIN_NAME], { stdio: ["ignore", "ignore", "pipe"] });
const archive = path.join(tmp, name);

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

GATE_TOKEN (Bearer token for Gate), GATE_USER (Basic auth username (alternative to a token)), GATE_PASS (Basic auth password), GATE_COOKIE (SESSION cookie of a Gate behind SSO (OAuth2, SAML); or run 'spinnaker-mcp login' once), GATE_COOKIE_FILE (File holding that SESSION cookie (default: the file 'spinnaker-mcp login' writes)), GATE_CERT_FILE (x509 client certificate (PEM); needs GATE_KEY_FILE), GATE_KEY_FILE (x509 client key (PEM); needs GATE_CERT_FILE), GATE_INSECURE (Skip TLS certificate verification of Gate (testing only)), TOOLSETS (Tool groups to register. Default readonly; 'all' also registers the tools that trigger, cancel, edit, delete and judge pipelines).
