Drone CI integration

Drone CI is a self-hosted continuous integration and delivery platform. The REST API exposes user, repository, build, secret, and cron management - used to trigger pipelines, monitor build status, manage signing/encrypted secrets, and schedule recurring builds. Authentication uses a personal token issued from the Drone user account page.

What you can do with Drone CI

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Build, 8 operations

  • POSTapprove_build_stage

    Approves a blocked build stage.

  • DELETEcancel_build

    Cancels a running build.

  • POSTcreate_build

    Triggers a new build via the API.

  • POSTdecline_build_stage

    Declines a blocked build stage.

  • GETget_build

    Returns a single build with its stages and steps.

  • GETlist_builds

    Lists recent builds for a repository.

  • POSTpromote_build

    Promotes a build to a deployment target.

Use Drone CI from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Drone CI in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Drone CI operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)
[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"
Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Set up the MCP server step by step

How to connect Drone CI

  1. Create your workspace

    Sign up free. Nothing to install.

  2. Connect Drone CI once

    Add your Drone CI connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.

  3. Describe the job in chat

    The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
