Kaiad

The Kaiad plugin is an MCP bridge to a Kaiad control plane: services and deployments, builds, registry, agents, operators, and incidents, through the panel’s hosted MCP server. The tool catalog is discovered live per credential scope, so what agents can call always matches what your credential allows.

It needs an API credential minted in the Kaiad panel with the mcp.read scope, plus mcp.write if agents should be able to deploy or mutate. Configure base_url and api_key in the plugin’s settings form (the credential is stored masked) or with kaiad_configure from a session.

Tool	What it does
kaiad_configure	Stores the panel URL and credential, verifying the connection
kaiad_status	Checks the connection and reports the discovered tools
kaiad_list_tools	Lists what your credential’s scopes allow, with schemas on request
kaiad_call	Invokes any control-plane tool by name, e.g. list_services or trigger_build

Wire behaviour and permissions

Unlike the Nginx Proxy Manager bridge, Kaiad’s MCP server is stateless — no session id, no initialized notification. Both SSE-framed and JSON-framed responses are handled, slow calls (a build trigger, for example) wait host-side past the short per-call plugin timeout, and a remote tool error surfaces as a tool error.

Hooks: mcp.tool.invoke. Permissions: provide_mcp_tools, http_request (outbound HTTP including private and LAN targets).
