AI Agent & Automation Workflows

Use when asked to set up PR attestation, install harness-scs attestation hook, configure agent attestor, troubleshoot why agent attestation isn't uploading, or reconfigure an existing attestation hook (different SCM, new cosign key, updated Harness identity). Trigger phrases: set up PR attestation, install harness-scs attestation hook, configure agent attestor, why isn't my agent attestation uploading, set up agent attestation, configure PR signing, install attestation hook, configure claude attestation.

Configure code scanning in Harness pipelines using STO security scanners. Helps identify where to inject SAST/SCA scanning steps into existing pipelines, recommends appropriate scanners, and configures them with proper connector references. Use when asked to add code scanning, configure security scans, set up SAST/SCA, integrate vulnerability scanning, or add security checks to a pipeline. Trigger phrases: add code scanner, configure repo scan, set up SAST, add security scan, configure vulnerability scanning, integrate scanner.

Generate Harness Environment YAML for deployment targets and create via MCP. Supports PreProduction and Production types with environment variables, manifest overrides, and multi-environment setup (dev, staging, prod). Use when asked to create an environment, set up staging, configure production, define deployment targets, or manage environment overrides. Trigger phrases: create environment, deployment environment, setup dev, setup staging, setup production, environment variables, environment overrides.

Add an SBOM (Software Bill of Materials) generation step to an existing Harness pipeline using Harness SCS SscaOrchestration (SBOM Orchestration). Supports container images and code repositories. Sources: docker, ECR, GCR, GAR, ACR, Harness AR (har), repository, and local workspace. Syft or cdxgen, SPDX or CycloneDX, optional SBOM attestation. Only works with existing pipelines. Use when asked to create an SBOM, generate a bill of materials, add SBOM to a pipeline, scan a container image or repo for components, or set up SBOM Orchestration. Trigger phrases: create SBOM, generate SBOM, add SBOM step, SBOM for image, SBOM for repo, scan for dependencies, SBOM Orchestration, add Generate SBOM step.

Create Harness STO security exemptions (waivers) for vulnerabilities found by SAST, SCA, DAST, secret, container, or IaC scanners. Works from both entry points in the Harness UI: the Vulnerabilities tab of a specific pipeline execution (Target, Pipeline, or Project scope) and the All Issues page (Project scope only). Supports single creates with per-row error tolerance and bulk creates of up to 100 issues in one all-or-none transaction. The requester is derived automatically from the authenticated user. Use when a user wants to exempt a vulnerability, waive a CVE, suppress a security finding, mark a finding as a false positive, accept the risk, or exempt several vulnerabilities at once. Trigger phrases: exempt vuln, exempt vulnerability, exempt CVE, waive vulnerability, create exemption, suppress security issue, false positive, accept risk, ignore CVE, bulk exempt.

Monitor GitOps application health, sync status, and manage ArgoCD deployments via Harness MCP. Use when user says "gitops status", "argocd status", "application sync", "gitops health", "is my app in sync", or asks about GitOps applications.

Manage Harness deployment freeze windows via MCP. Create, list, get, update, and delete project-level freeze windows; toggle them Enabled/Disabled; and get or enable/disable the project-level global freeze. Use when asked about freeze windows, deployment freezes, change freezes, release blackouts, maintenance windows, holiday freezes, or to pause deployments. Trigger phrases: freeze window, deployment freeze, change freeze, release blackout, maintenance window, holiday freeze, pause deployments, block pipeline execution, global freeze.

Assist with Harness Service Reliability Management (SRM) tasks that the MCP server currently supports: pulling recent deployments for incident correlation, generating on-call handover reports from deployment/execution history, and drafting operational runbooks. Use when asked about SLOs, error budgets, burn-rate alerts, on-call handover, runbooks, or incident triage. Do NOT use for DORA metrics (use dora-metrics instead) or chaos experiments (use chaos-experiment instead). Trigger phrases: SLO, SLI, error budget, burn rate, on-call handover, runbook, service reliability, incident response, on-call shift.

Add an Artifact Signing (SscaArtifactSigning) step to an existing Harness pipeline to Cosign-sign container or local-stage artifacts with keyless, key-based, or Vault signing. Supports Third-Party registries (Docker, ECR, GCR, GAR, ACR), Harness Artifact Registry (HAR), and Harness Local Stage artifacts. Place after image build/push; optionally upload .sig to the registry. Only works with existing pipelines. Use when asked to sign artifacts, add artifact signing, Cosign sign image, attach signature to registry, or configure SscaArtifactSigning. Trigger phrases: sign artifact, artifact signing, sign image, Cosign sign, add signing step, SscaArtifactSigning, attach signature, sign container image, HAR signing.

Add an Artifact Verification (SscaArtifactVerification) step to an existing Harness pipeline to verify Cosign signatures on container or local-stage artifacts. Supports CI, Security, and CD Deploy (containerized step group). Supports Third-Party registries (Docker, ECR, GCR, GAR, ACR), Harness Artifact Registry (HAR), and Harness Local Stage artifacts. Only works with existing pipelines. Use when asked to verify signed artifacts, verify artifact signature, verify-sign, validate Cosign signature, or configure SscaArtifactVerification. Trigger phrases: verify sign, verify artifact, artifact verification, verify signature, verify-sign, SscaArtifactVerification, verify signed image, verify Cosign, HAR verification.
