## What it does

This plugin gives Claude Code access to TeamCity’s command-line client. An agent can inspect builds, read logs, start jobs with a selected branch or revision, review the queue, and open a shell on a build agent.

Run `teamcity auth login` before using the CLI so it can remember the server and credentials. Commands expose `--json` and `--plain` output for scripts, while `teamcity api` covers REST requests that have no dedicated command. Setting `TEAMCITY_RO=1` blocks writes and remote shells, so commands such as `agent exec` and `agent term` cannot perform those actions in that mode.

The CLI can store several server connections and switch between them. In Claude Code, install the plugin from the official marketplace before asking the agent to use TeamCity.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install teamcity-cli@claude-plugins-official
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install teamcity-cli@claude-community
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- inspect the latest build for a branch
- start a job with a chosen revision
- find failures in a build log
- check queued jobs and agent status

## Example prompts
- Use `teamcity run list --user @me --branch @this --limit 1` to show the latest build for the current branch.
- Start `MyProject_Build` on `main` and keep watching it with `teamcity run start MyProject_Build --branch main --watch`.
- List the jobs waiting in TeamCity with `teamcity queue list`, then explain their current state.

`teamcity` is the official command-line client for [TeamCity](https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/). It covers the day-to-day — starting builds, tailing logs, digging through the queue — and the odd jobs too: shelling into build agents, editing job settings, raw REST calls when nothing else fits.

Full documentation, including installation, authentication, and a command reference, lives at [jb.gg/tc/docs](https://jb.gg/tc/docs).

## Install

**macOS (Homebrew):**
```bash
brew install jetbrains/utils/teamcity
```

**Linux:**
```bash
curl -fsSL https://jb.gg/tc/install | bash
```

The install script also works on macOS. New installs use `~/.local/bin` without sudo; rerunning it updates an existing unmanaged installation in place. Missing Bash/Zsh PATH entries are added automatically. Restart your shell afterward, or use the printed PATH command.

**Windows (Winget):**
```powershell
winget install JetBrains.TeamCityCLI
```

**npm:**
```bash
npm install -g @jetbrains/teamcity-cli
```

## Usage

For security, redirects never downgrade HTTPS or forward request headers to another origin. Cross-origin artifact downloads remain supported without credentials.

Log in once and the CLI remembers the server:

```bash
teamcity auth login
```

Then:

```bash
# my latest build on this branch
teamcity run list --user @me --branch @this --limit 1

# start a build and stay attached to it
teamcity run start MyProject_Build --branch main --watch

# pin different revisions in a job with multiple VCS roots
teamcity run start MyProject_Build --revision AppRepo=abc123 --revision AssetsRepo=@main

# logs from the latest build of a job
teamcity run log --job MyProject_Build

# what's sitting in the queue
teamcity queue list

# shell into a build agent
teamcity agent term Agent-Linux-01
```

One naming note: TeamCity says *build* and *build configuration*; the CLI says `run` and `job`. The [glossary](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/teamcity-cli-glossary.html) has the full mapping.

Set `TEAMCITY_RO=1` to block writes and remote shells (`agent exec` and `agent term`). Use server-side permissions for a security boundary.
