A change request can carry its reviewers and its work items from the moment it is created, then run through a pipeline whose per-step logs you read back call by call. The size is the thing to plan for: at 197 tools, ask for the toolsets that match the job rather than loading everything, and take the hosted endpoint if you would rather not run the process at all.
Alibaba Cloud's Yunxiao platform as 197 tools, grouped by what they act on: Codeup repositories and change requests, projects with work items and sprints, pipelines and their jobs, VM deploy orders, application delivery, artifact repositories and test management.
- Codeup repository work: branches created and deleted, files written on a branch with a commit message, and two refs compared
- Change requests raised with reviewers and work items attached, commented on globally or inline against a file and line, and followed through their patch sets
- Work items created, searched and updated, carrying comments, attachments, activity history and related test cases
- Effort logged through its own calls, because Yunxiao holds actual and estimated hours as controlled fields that the work-item update cannot set
- Pipelines found by natural-language time reference, run against a branch or tag, and driven job by job: retry, skip, stop, or pass and refuse a manual checkpoint
- Deployment followed down to one machine — VM deploy orders stopped, resumed and retried per machine, with that machine's deploy log
- Test repositories, cases and plans, with per-plan progress counted as passed, failed, postponed and pending
- Applications, orchestrations and variable groups for delivery, plus package repositories and their artifacts
A Yunxiao organization and a personal access token, granted read and write across the API groups you intend to use. Yunxiao runs it hosted at https://openapi-rdc.aliyuncs.com/ai/mcp — Bearer token, nothing installed — or on a region-edition domain of the form https://your-org.devops.aliyuncs.com/ai/mcp. Self-hosting instead needs Node 18 or newer and YUNXIAO_ACCESS_TOKEN, plus YUNXIAO_API_BASE_URL when you are on a region edition. Because the catalogue is large, both the hosted endpoint and the container build let you ask for only the toolsets you need.
One command plus a key — npx -y alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server, then supply credentials
