Measure MCP Server - Tech Preview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server provides a structured way for GenAI clients to access tools, data, and actions through a consistent, secure interface. When you connect a GenAI client that supports MCP to the Measure MCP server, you can use natural-language requests to retrieve information from your Measure.

Disclaimer:

This release contains access to the MCP server feature in Velocity Measure as a Tech Preview and can be enabled by passing the betaFeature=mcp parameter while running the installer. The Tech Preview is intended for you to view the capabilities of MCP server offered by Velocity, and to provide your feedback to the product team. You are permitted to use the information only for evaluation purposes and not for use in a production environment. IBM® provides the information without obligation of support and "as is" without warranty of any kind.

The Velocity Measure MCP server exposes predefined queries that let you view Value Stream Management data, metrics, build and deployment details, workflow gate statuses, and information about teams, applications, and workspaces. This capability provides a simple, conversational way to obtain operational insights without requiring navigation of the Measure interface or creation of API requests.

The Measure MCP server offers the following tools:

To use the Measure MCP server, you must enable the MCP server feature flag when you run the installer. See Prerequisites to connect with the MCP server in Measure.

You can currently connect to the Measure MCP server using the following GenAI clients:

Claude Desktop. See Connecting to the DevOps Velocity MCP server in Claude Desktop
GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code. See Connecting to the Measure MCP server by using GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code.

The MCP deployment is enabled, and the MCP pod is running in the default configuration. To reduce resource consumption, you must disable the MCP deployment when the MCP server is not in use. See Disabling the MCP Deployment in DevOps Velocity.
