jf mcp — connect AI agents to the JFrog MCP server

The JFrog Platform hosts a remote MCP (Model Context Protocol) server at <platform-url>/mcp. This PR adds a jf mcp command group so you can discover that endpoint and connect AI agents to it directly from the CLI.

jf mcp show

Prints the MCP endpoint for the configured server.

$ jf mcp show
MCP endpoint:  https://my.jfrog.io/mcp
Server ID:     my-platform
Auth:          OAuth (completed in the agent / client platform)

$ jf mcp show --format json
{
  "serverId": "my-platform",
  "platformUrl": "https://my.jfrog.io/",
  "mcpUrl": "https://my.jfrog.io/mcp",
  "transport": "http"
}

The endpoint is derived from the configured platform URL. It can be overridden with the --mcp-url flag or the JFROG_CLI_MCP_URL environment variable.

jf mcp install

Configures an AI agent to connect to the JFrog MCP server. Supported agents: cursor and claude.

# Configure Cursor for the current project
$ jf mcp install --agent cursor

# Configure Claude Code at the user (global) level
$ jf mcp install --agent claude --global

# Preview the resulting configuration without writing it
$ jf mcp install --agent cursor --dry-run

Before writing anything, the command verifies the MCP server is reachable (use --skip-check to bypass). It then merges a server entry into the agent's configuration file, preserving any existing entries:

• Cursor — .cursor/mcp.json (project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global)
• Claude — .mcp.json (project) or ~/.claude.json (global)

The entry contains only the endpoint URL; no credentials are stored. Authentication is completed through the agent's own OAuth flow. After installation, the command reminds you to finish authorization (for example, run /mcp in Claude Code, or approve the server in Cursor) before the connection becomes active.

jf mcp uninstall

Removes the JFrog entry from an agent's configuration, leaving any other configured MCP servers untouched.

$ jf mcp uninstall --agent cursor
$ jf mcp uninstall --agent claude --global

Flags

Flag	Commands	Description
--mcp-url	show, install	Override the MCP endpoint (defaults to <platform-url>/mcp).
--format	show	Output format: table (default) or json.
--agent	install, uninstall	Target agent: cursor or claude.
--global	install, uninstall	Apply to the user-level configuration instead of the current project.
--project-dir	install, uninstall	Project directory to configure (defaults to the current directory).
--name	install, uninstall	Name of the MCP server entry (defaults to jfrog).
--dry-run	install, uninstall	Print the resulting configuration without writing it.
--skip-check	install	Skip the readiness check before writing configuration.

Standard server-selection flags (--server-id, --url, credentials, etc.) are also supported.

Note: This command targets the remote, platform-hosted MCP server. It is unrelated to jf source-mcp, which runs a local MCP server for source-code analysis.

Usage reporting

All jf mcp subcommands report anonymous usage metrics consistently with other JFrog CLI commands (honoring JFROG_CLI_REPORT_USAGE). The reporting logic shared with jf api was factored into a small internal utils/usage package to avoid duplication.
