How do I connect Circleci to Operator?

Connecting Circleci is a one time sign in from your Operator dashboard. Operator keeps the connection live and rotates the token on its own, so the agent stays connected to Circleci and you never reauthorize by hand.

Can my agent work with issues and pull requests in Circleci?

Yes. It can open and comment on issues, review pull requests, manage labels, and read project details when you ask. Teams use it to triage incoming work, draft release notes, and post a summary of what changed without leaving chat.

Do I need to write code or manage Circleci API keys?

No. Operator manages the Circleci connection and token refresh, so there are no API keys to paste and nothing to deploy.

Can my agent use Circleci together with my other apps?

Yes. The same agent reaches every app you connect, so it can move between Circleci and tools like GitHub, Supabase, Pagerduty in one job, reading from one and acting in another without you wiring anything between them.

Automate Circleci with AI

On Operator, an OpenClaw agent pilots Circleci for you. It reads your message, plans the steps, and runs them in Circleci, using actions like create context, create context (graphql), create context restriction.

Your agent reaches Circleci directly or through connectors like Composio MCP and Pipedream MCP, which handle the sign in and token refresh for you, so there is nothing to wire up and no API keys to paste.

How to connect Circleci

You authorize Circleci once from your dashboard. Operator holds the connection and refreshes the access tokens on its own, so your agent keeps working with Circleci without you signing in again. The same setup unlocks every other app your agent can reach, so you only do it once.

When you are ready, the get started guide walks through standing up your OpenClaw agent.
