Common questions

Is Harbor safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

You need to fill in: HARBOR_URL, HARBOR_USERNAME, HARBOR_PASSWORD

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.1) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Harbor MCP server

A Model Context Protocol server for Harbor, the open-source container registry. It lets AI assistants such as Claude, Cursor and VS Code answer questions about a running Harbor: projects and quotas, repositories and artifacts, vulnerability scan results, robot accounts, replication health and garbage collection.

Documentation: https://www.oreonit.com/harbor-mcp/

This is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Harbor project or the CNCF; Harbor is a trademark of The Linux Foundation.

Status

Changes per release are in the release notes. The twelve read tools work over stdio and streamable HTTP, and are tested against a fake Harbor, Harbor 2.15 on every pull request and Harbor 2.12 to 2.15 nightly, as an administrator and as the read-only robot below. The design is in docs/DESIGN.md.

Read-only: twelve tools covering projects, repositories, artifacts, vulnerabilities, robots, members, registries, replication, webhooks and garbage collection. Write tools (scan, start replication, add a label, create a project) will come later, only with an explicit opt-in. No tool deletes anything.
Secrets stay out of the conversation: Harbor credentials, robot secrets and webhook authorization headers never appear in tool results, logs or errors.
stdio for desktop clients, and streamable HTTP with a bearer token for running in a cluster.
A signed multi-arch image, ghcr.io/oreondev/harbor-mcp, listed in the official MCP Registry as io.github.oreondev/harbor-mcp.
Uses the Harbor client of harbor-resource-operator, the Kubernetes operator that manages Harbor projects, robot accounts and replication as code.

Tools

Tool	Answers
`harbor_system_info`	Harbor version, authentication mode, and the user or robot the server acts as
`harbor_list_projects`, `harbor_get_project`	projects; quota, CVE allowlist, retention and immutability of one
`harbor_list_repositories`, `harbor_list_artifacts`	repositories; artifacts with tags, size, push and pull times and scan summary
`harbor_get_vulnerabilities`	the vulnerabilities of one artifact, worst first
`harbor_list_members`, `harbor_list_robots`	who has access: members with roles, robot accounts with permissions and expiry
`harbor_list_registries`, `harbor_list_replications`	replication endpoints and policies, with the last run
`harbor_list_webhooks`, `harbor_get_gc`	webhook policies; the garbage collection schedule

Set up a read-only Harbor identity

Run the server as a system robot account that can only read. docs/read-only-robot.json is the request body for Harbor's API, with the permissions the tools need (the end-to-end tests use the same file):

curl -u admin -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @docs/read-only-robot.json \

https://harbor.example.com/api/v2.0/robots

Harbor shows the secret once, in the response; the user name is robot$harbor-mcp. An administrator account also works, but gives the assistant more than it needs.

Use it

Configuration comes from environment variables; each except HARBOR_CA_FILE can instead be read from a file named by _FILE, for mounted secrets:

Variable	Meaning
`HARBOR_URL`	Harbor base URL, for example `https://harbor.example.com` (required)
`HARBOR_USERNAME`, `HARBOR_PASSWORD`	the robot name and secret (required)
`HARBOR_CA_FILE`	extra CA bundle (PEM) for Harbor's certificate
`HARBOR_INSECURE_SKIP_VERIFY`	`true` to skip TLS verification of Harbor
`HARBOR_MCP_RATE`	requests per second to Harbor, default 10
`HARBOR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN`	bearer token for HTTP mode

One-click install (the client asks for the URL and credentials, or you fill them in afterwards):

Claude Code, with the image (replace 0.1.1 with the latest release):

claude mcp add harbor -e HARBOR_URL=https://harbor.example.com -e 'HARBOR_USERNAME=robot$harbor-mcp' -e HARBOR_PASSWORD=... \

-- docker run -i --rm -e HARBOR_URL -e HARBOR_USERNAME -e HARBOR_PASSWORD ghcr.io/oreondev/harbor-mcp:0.1.1

Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients that read an mcpServers file:

"mcpServers": { "harbor": { "command": "docker", "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "HARBOR_URL", "-e", "HARBOR_USERNAME", "-e", "HARBOR_PASSWORD", "ghcr.io/oreondev/harbor-mcp:0.1.1"], "env": { "HARBOR_URL": "https://harbor.example.com", "HARBOR_USERNAME": "robot$harbor-mcp", "HARBOR_PASSWORD": "..." } } } }

Without Docker, download a binary from the releases (or go install github.com/oreondev/harbor-mcp/cmd/harbor-mcp@latest) and use harbor-mcp as the command.

HTTP mode

For a shared server, for example a Deployment next to Harbor, start it with -http and a token:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -e HARBOR_URL -e HARBOR_USERNAME -e HARBOR_PASSWORD -e HARBOR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN \

ghcr.io/oreondev/harbor-mcp:0.1.1 -http :8080 claude mcp add --transport http harbor https://harbor-mcp.example.com/mcp -H "Authorization: Bearer $HARBOR_MCP_HTTP_TOKEN"

MCP is served at /mcp and every request needs the token; GET /healthz is open for probes. Without a token the server only listens on a loopback address. Put TLS in front of it (an ingress or a mesh).
