Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.

First-install notes

  • Confirm the command works with --version Run alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server --version before moving on. If it prints a version, the command is installed and reachable; if not, fix the installation first. source
  • Add your Alibaba Cloud access token first Set YUNXIAO_ACCESS_TOKEN (the access token for Alibaba Cloud DevOps) or pass --token before starting. Without a valid token, the server can't authenticate, so tools will fail. source
  • Pick an SSE address if clients need to reach it If you use --transport=sse (a network connection mode), set --sse-address to the host and port clients should use, such as localhost:9000. If that port is blocked or on the wrong machine, clients can't reach the server. source
