Integrate with Alpacon

Connect Alpacon with your existing tools and workflows for seamless automation.

Identity providers

Single sign-on (SSO)

Integrate with your organization’s identity provider for centralized authentication.

CI/CD platforms

GitHub Actions is our official integration, with four published actions. Every other CI system drives Alpacon through the CLI and the REST API with scoped service tokens—the guides below show how.

GitHub Actions

Automate deployments with the official Alpacon actions.

GitLab CI

Run Alpacon from GitLab CI/CD using the CLI container.

Jenkins

Run Alpacon from a Jenkins pipeline using the CLI container.

AI agents

MCP server

Connect Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other AI assistants through the Alpacon MCP server with scoped, audited access.

Common integration patterns

Deployment automation

# Deploy to production server
alpacon websh production "cd /app && git pull && npm install && pm2 restart"

Multi-server commands

# Update all web servers
for server in web1 web2 web3; do
  alpacon websh $server "sudo systemctl restart nginx"
done

API-based automation

# Execute commands via REST API
curl -X POST https://your-workspace.us1.alpacon.io/api/events/commands/ \
  -H "Authorization: token=\"alpst-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\"" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"server": "7e3984de-49ab-4cc6-bcdf-21fbd35858b8", "line": "deploy", "username": "ubuntu"}'

Benefits of integration

  • No SSH keys in CI/CD - Use scoped service tokens instead
  • Audit trail - All automated actions are logged
  • Command ACLs - Restrict what automation can execute
  • Simple setup - One-line installation, immediate use

Getting started

  1. Create a service token for automation
  2. Choose your integration platform above
  3. Follow the platform-specific guide
  4. Test with simple commands first
