  "summary": "Yunxiao is automatable today through Alibaba Cloud's official MCP server. This record is Alibaba Cloud Yunxiao, also titled Alibaba Cloud DevOps in the English help center. It is not ECS, RDS, or another Alibaba Cloud service. The Chinese product page describes a one-stop DevOps platform with project collaboration, code management, pipelines, application delivery, packages, and test management, and it announces a Yunxiao MCP server. Personal access tokens call the OpenAPI. A token is created under Personal Settings, Access Token, with an expiration date and selected permissions, and it is shown only once. The central API host used by the MCP server is https://openapi-rdc.aliyuncs.com. Region edition uses the organization domain. The official MCP is the open-source project github.com/aliyun/alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server. Remote hosting is https://openapi-rdc.aliyuncs.com/ai/mcp with Authorization: Bearer or the header X-Yunxiao-Token. Clients that support OAuth can omit the token and use an authorization-code flow with PKCE. The help page says access tokens from that flow last 24 hours and refresh tokens last 90 days. Local mode is npx alibabacloud-devops-mcp-server with YUNXIAO_ACCESS_TOKEN. The help page says the server provides 194 tools across organization, Codeup, Projex, Flow, Packages, AppStack, and Testhub, and that toolsets can be limited with the toolsets query or the X-Devops-Toolsets header. The token should be granted read and write on those API groups. This pass did not open individual OpenAPI operation pages, and no CLI page was opened. iPaaS catalogs were not opened. Computer-use viability is unassessed. MCP scores 8 and is the best path. The API scores 6 because token authentication and the API areas are documented without an opened endpoint catalog.\n"
