Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Release.com Platform API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frelease.com%2Frelease" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frelease.com%2Frelease" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with Release.com Platform API.
Start a build for an app and read its build log
Rebuild or cancel an in-flight build by build id
Spin up an ephemeral environment (space) for an app and tear it down when done
Pause, resume, or extend the expiration of an environment to control cost
Run a deploy pipeline into a space and abort it if it goes wrong
GET STARTED
Download a kubeconfig for a cluster or a remote development environment
List database snapshots and trigger upgrades on an account's clusters
Patterns agents use Release.com Platform API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Agent-managed preview environments
A coding agent opens a pull request and needs somewhere to test it. Through the Release.com Platform API it creates a space for the app, waits for the deploy pipeline in that space, and reads the instances to find what is running, then deletes the space when the review is done.
Call POST /apps/{app_id}/spaces for the app, then GET /apps/{app_id}/spaces/{space_id}/pipelines to watch the deploy, and DELETE /apps/{app_id}/spaces/{id} once the review closes
Diagnose a failed build
When a build fails, the agent lists the app's builds filtered by branch, opens the failing one, and reads its log to find the error. After a fix lands it can trigger a rebuild of the same build instead of starting from scratch.
Call GET /apps/{app_id}/builds with branch set to the feature branch, then GET /apps/{app_id}/builds/{id}/log for the failed build, and POST /apps/{app_id}/builds/{id}/rebuild after the fix
Control environment cost
Idle ephemeral environments cost money. An agent can pause spaces outside working hours and resume them in the morning, extend the expiration of one still under review, or override its schedule for a demo.
Call POST /apps/{app_id}/spaces/{id}/pause for each idle space at night and POST /apps/{app_id}/spaces/{id}/resume the next morning
Cluster access and maintenance
Account-level cluster operations let an agent list an account's clusters, verify one, download its kubeconfig for kubectl access, generate a certificate, list database snapshots, or start an upgrade.
Call GET /accounts/{account_id}/clusters, then GET /accounts/{account_id}/clusters/{id}/kubeconfig for the target cluster

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Release.com by hand means sending both the X-User-Email and X-User-Token headers on every call and tracking app, space, and pipeline ids across nested paths. Through Jentic you install once, import Release.com from the API Directory, store both values once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Release.com puts the app id in the URL path (/apps/{app_id}/...), and the space id under it, so a rule can pin your agent to one app or one environment. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like app deletion or cluster upgrades are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Release.com email and token are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a preview environment' or 'abort a deploy', and Jentic returns the matching Release.com operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Release.com Platform API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Release.com Platform API use?
Per its OpenAPI spec, requests carry two API key headers together: X-User-Email with the user's email address and X-User-Token with the user's token, which the spec notes comes from ~/.release.yaml. Through Jentic, both values are stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time.
Can I pause or extend an ephemeral environment with the Release.com API?
Yes. Spaces have pause and resume operations, an extend_expiration operation that pushes back the expiry, and an override_schedule operation, all addressed by app id and space id in the path.
How do I read a build log through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'get a Release build log'. It returns GET /apps/{app_id}/builds/{id}/log with its input schema; your agent supplies the app id and build id, and Jentic sends the request with your stored headers.
What are the rate limits for the Release.com Platform API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits. Check the Release.com documentation at https://docs.release.com for current limits.
Is there a Release.com MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent Release.com. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your email and token once, and your agent calls it. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Release.com Platform API?
Yes. For example, allow GET and POST under /apps/123/spaces plus the pause and resume operations, and your agent can create and park environments for that one app but cannot delete apps, touch clusters, or work on any other app. Every call it makes is logged.
For Agents
Create builds, spin up and pause ephemeral environments, run and abort deploy pipelines, and manage clusters on Release.com. Every operation sends the X-User-Email and X-User-Token headers.
Use for: Spin up a preview environment for my app on Release, Pause the staging environment overnight, Extend the expiration of an ephemeral environment, Get the build log for the failed Release build
Not supported: Does not handle source control hosting, code review, or application monitoring. Use for Release.com builds, ephemeral environments, deploy pipelines, and clusters only.
The Release.com Platform API runs the ephemeral environments, builds, and deploy pipelines behind Release.com. Apps hold builds you can create, rebuild, cancel, and read logs for, while spaces are the environments that apps deploy into, which you can create, pause, resume, extend before they expire, or delete. Pipelines deploy into a space and can be aborted mid-run, and account-level calls cover clusters with kubeconfig download, certificate generation, upgrades, and database snapshot listing.
