Details

From the project README

Depot MCP by usefulapi

Use Depot from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client — inspect projects, container builds, build steps and logs, Depot CI runs and jobs, and GitHub Actions runner usage, and retry or cancel CI work. Hosted, no local install: connect with your own Depot credentials.

Live endpoint: https://depot.usefulapi.io/mcp · Homepage: https://usefulapi.io/depot

Connect

  • Claude (claude.ai, Desktop): open Customize → Connectors, click + Add → Add custom connector, and paste https://depot.usefulapi.io/mcp.
  • Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http depot https://depot.usefulapi.io/mcp, then run /mcp to log in.
  • VS Code: Add to VS Code.
  • Cursor and other clients: add the URL as a remote MCP server:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depot": {
      "url": "https://depot.usefulapi.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Add only the URL. Do not add an Authorization header or an API key to the client config: the server signs you in with OAuth, and the login page asks for your Depot credentials.

Step-by-step setup, where to find your credentials, and FAQ: https://usefulapi.io/depot/

On first connect you'll provide your Depot organization API token (Organization Settings → API Tokens). They're validated, stored per-user, and scoped to you — no keys in config files.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
