pncli gives AI agents and humans unified CLI access to enterprise tools: Jira, Bitbucket, Confluence, SonarQube, SDElements, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, Artifactory, IBM UrbanCode Deploy, Checkmarx, ServiceNow, Contrast Security IAST, Sonatype IQ Server, and OpenShift / Kubernetes.

Two config levels

Env vars — ephemeral, per-session, override the config file. Set before running pncli:

export PNCLI_<SERVICE>_<KEY>=value

Config file — persistent, stored in ~/.pncli/config.json. Set with:

pncli config set <service>.<key> <value>

Repo-level defaults (project key, target branch) are stored in .pncli.json in the repo root:

pncli config set --repo defaults.<service>.<key> <value>

Available services

For detailed setup of any service, read the included file for that service.

Setup walkthrough

Step 1 — Identity

Ask: email address and username/user ID. Then:

pncli config set user.email <email>
pncli config set user.userId <username>

Step 2 — Work item tracking

Ask: "Does this org use Jira or Azure DevOps for work items?" See jira.md or ado.md.

Step 3 — Source control

Ask: "Does this org use GitHub, Bitbucket, or Azure DevOps for PRs?" See github.md, bitbucket.md, or ado.md.

Step 4 — Optional services

Ask about each optional service the user may need. Read the relevant .md file for config keys and commands. Skip services they don't use.

Step 5 — Repo-level defaults

pncli config set --repo defaults.jira.project <key>
pncli config set --repo defaults.bitbucket.targetBranch <branch>

Step 6 — Test connectivity

pncli config test

Review results. If any service shows ok: false, help troubleshoot the URL or credentials.
