MCP Server Installation
Deploy the JFrog MCP Server on self-managed environments to connect AI Agents to the JFrog Platform.
Deploy the JFrog MCP Server on self-managed environments to connect AI agents and coding assistants to your JFrog Platform.
Subscription Information
This feature is supported on the Self-Managed platform with all licenses.
Wingman Service
The
wingmanservice serves the JFrog MCP Server.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects AI systems with external tools, data, and services using a standardized, lightweight interface. MCP simplifies AI integration, reduces engineering overhead, and supports scalable, cross-platform automation.
The JFrog MCP Server is a remote MCP server that integrates with MCP clients hosted by IDEs and AI coding assistants such as Copilot or Cursor. The JFrog MCP Server provides structured configuration and usage information that is used to respond to AI queries. This improves and enriches responses to queries related to JFrog.
Install the JFrog MCP Server on self-managed environments and connect it to your MCP clients:
PostgreSQL for MCP Server
Configure an external PostgreSQL database. PostgreSQL is bundled by default for both Helm and Docker Compose, and external setup is optional.
MCP Server Helm Chart Installation
Deploy the MCP server as a standalone Helm chart on Kubernetes and connect it to your JFrog Platform Deployment.
MCP Server Docker Compose Installation

PostgreSQL Database
The JFrog MCP Server bundles PostgreSQL 17.x by default for both Helm and Docker Compose. No database setup is required.
- For Helm: To use an external database instead, set
postgresql.enabled: falsein your values file and provide connection details. To use an external database instead, see PostgreSQL for MCP Server. - For Docker Compose: The configuration script installs a bundled PostgreSQL database. During setup, you are prompted to use this bundled instance or connect to an existing external database. To use an external database instead, see PostgreSQL for MCP Server.
There are several ways to configure external PostgreSQL for redundancy, including HA, load balancing, and replication. For more information, see the PostgreSQL documentation.
