CircleCI + Memtro

Why the build failed, which tests broke and how often main goes red.

Connect CircleCI with a personal API token and Memtro lists a project's recent pipelines with their workflows, the jobs in a workflow, one job with its failed tests, and per-workflow insights such as success rate and credits. With a default project set, the hourly sync writes each failed workflow into memory. When you ask, and once an administrator has granted each action by name, it can trigger pipelines, rerun or cancel workflows and jobs, approve a waiting job, manage scheduled pipelines and roll a component back. Triggering, rerunning, approving and rolling back use credits and can deploy to production.

In Memtro

What you can do with CircleCI in Memtro

Ask in plain English from chat, your editor, a scheduled job or your own agent. The model picks the right CircleCI tool, reads what it needs, and answers with the source cited.

What it does

  1. 01Recent pipelines for a project, by branch, with who triggered each, the commit and any errors
  2. 02The jobs of a workflow counted by status, and one job's executor, messages and timings
  3. 03Failed tests for a job with their messages, so 'why did job 1234 fail' has an answer
  4. 04Insights per workflow: success rate, failed runs, p95 duration, throughput, time to recovery and credits
  5. 05When asked and granted, triggers a pipeline on a branch or tag, reruns a workflow or its failed jobs, or cancels a workflow or job, where each run uses credits and does whatever the config does, deploys included
  6. 06When asked and granted, approves a job on hold such as a production deploy, which cannot be undone, rolls a component back to an earlier version, and creates, changes or permanently deletes scheduled pipelines

Acts when asked

When you ask it to

These tools change something in CircleCI. The model is told to use them only when you ask for exactly that, and an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it; a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

  1. 01Trigger a pipeline on a branch or tag (uses credits)
  2. 02Rerun a workflow, or only its failed jobs (uses credits)
  3. 03Cancel a running workflow or job
  4. 04Approve a job waiting on approval, such as a deploy
  5. 05Create, change or delete a scheduled pipeline
  6. 06Roll a deployed component back to an earlier version

Events

When it happens

Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with CircleCI for you. Each event can start a job, with the event as its input. CircleCI signs every delivery, and one whose signature does not check out is refused before it is read.

Events and webhooks
  • 01A workflow finished (success, failed, error, canceled or unauthorized)
  • 02A job finished (success, failed, canceled or unauthorized)
In practice

Ask it like you would a colleague

Once CircleCI is connected, these are the kinds of things people ask. Plain questions, no syntax. If the answer lives partly in another system you have connected, Memtro looks there too.

CircleCI + Memtro
  • Did the last build on main pass?

  • Why did job 4817 fail, and which tests broke?

  • What is the success rate of the deploy workflow over the last 30 days?

  • How many credits did the nightly workflow use last week?

  • Rerun the failed jobs in the last workflow on main

01

Red build on main

A developer asks why main is red. Memtro finds the latest pipeline on main, the failed workflow and job, and returns the failing tests with their messages and a link to the job.

02

A flaky test, rerun

Owen Price sees that main failed on a test that times out now and then, and asks Memtro to rerun only the failed jobs. Memtro reruns the workflow from its failed jobs in CircleCI as a new run, which uses credits, and reports back when it passes.

Teams

Where it fits

The teams that lean on CircleCI most, a question each of them asks, and what they connect beside it.

Better together

Works with

A record in CircleCI is rarely the whole story. Connect the systems that hold the rest and Memtro checks them together, then remembers what it learned so the next question starts further along.

Using something else for the same job, or both? Each connector has its own tools; connect as many as you like.

Setup

How to connect

Connect withPersonal API token
  1. 1

    In app.circleci.com open User settings → Personal API Tokens → Create New Token. It acts as you, so it sees and runs every project you can. Set an expiry: CircleCI emails before it runs out

  2. 2

    In Memtro open Connections → CircleCI, paste the Personal API token with a Default project slug such as gh/acme/web (or the project's app.circleci.com URL). The hourly sync of failed workflows needs one

  3. 3

    Self-hosted CircleCI server? Add its root URL as the Base URL. Connect, and Memtro checks the token and the project

  4. 4

    Ask whether the last build on main passed

Also works from

Chat in the dashboard, the OpenAI-compatible API, scheduled jobs, and any MCP client: Claude Code, OpenCode, Cursor, Claude Desktop. The CircleCI tools are the same everywhere.

FAQ

Questions

Can Memtro change anything in CircleCI?+

Only when you ask, and only what it has been granted: trigger a pipeline on a branch or tag (uses credits); rerun a workflow, or only its failed jobs (uses credits); cancel a running workflow or job; approve a job waiting on approval, such as a deploy; create, change or delete a scheduled pipeline; roll a deployed component back to an earlier version. Every other tool reads, searches or lists. The Connections page labels the tools that act, an administrator grants each one by name to the teams that may use it, and a personal connection acts only after its owner allows it.

Who can use a CircleCI connection?+

A personal connection serves only your own requests. A shared connection serves the organisation: everyone, or only the teams an admin chooses. Admins can always add shared connections; other members need the permission.

Does Memtro store my CircleCI data?+

Credentials are encrypted at rest. Tool results are cached briefly so agent loops do not repeat identical calls, and the facts the model extracts are saved to your organisation's memory with provenance (system, record and link) so they can be checked and superseded. An hourly sync anchors recently changed CircleCI records into memory as entities.

How do I connect CircleCI?+

Personal API token. In app.circleci.com open User settings → Personal API Tokens → Create New Token. It acts as you, so it sees and runs every project you can. Set an expiry: CircleCI emails before it runs out.

Can CircleCI start a job?+

Yes. Turn events on in the connection's Events tab on the Connections page, choose the kinds you want, and Memtro registers its address with CircleCI for you. A job set to start "When an event arrives" then runs once for each matching event, with the event as its input. The run treats the event as outside data, never as instructions, and anything the run remembers is kept as unverified.
