Jenkins in one click.

Jenkins is an open-source automation server for ci/cd you can run on your own machine. Launch it in Even Stacks in one click, serve it over trusted HTTPS, and let your AI agents operate it.

What is Jenkins?

Jenkins is an open-source automation server written in Java for building, testing, and deploying software. It supports a large plugin ecosystem and pipeline-as-code via Jenkinsfile.

Run Jenkins in Even

Even Stacks launches Jenkins as a managed container on your own machine. No compose files, no manual setup.

  1. Open the Even Stacks panel in Even. The container engine starts on demand.
  2. Find Jenkins in the one-click services and click Launch.
  3. Even pulls the image, starts it on port 8400, and serves it over trusted HTTPS at https://jenkins.localhost.

Drive Jenkins with your AI agents

Even ships an MCP, so any agent you run inside Even (Claude Code, Codex, and more) can operate Jenkins directly, at both the UI level and the container level.

Through the Even MCP an agent can run commands inside the container, build against the service, and read its logs to debug. It runs commands inside the container, reads its logs, and for web apps opens and clicks through the interface in Even's own browser pane. Ask once, for example "set up Jenkins and get it ready", and the agent handles it end to end.

How agents reach it: Create and trigger jobs via the web UI at http://localhost:8400, or POST to `<url>/job/<name>/build` via REST. Jobs and artifacts are stored in `/var/jenkins_home`. For CLI access run `java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8400`.
