TeamCity 2026.2: Pipelines General Availability, BYOK for AI Assistant, and More - The JetBrains Blog

TeamCity 2026.2 makes its YAML-based pipelines generally available for both Cloud and On-Premises deployments after an early-access period, adding stronger branch and protected-branch handling, failure-tolerant dependent jobs, promotion of completed pipeline runs, individual job debugging, and pipelines without connected repositories. The release expands AI capabilities through Bring Your Own Key support for AI Assistant, allowing organizations to use supported cloud models or local LLMs, while new MCP tools enable AI agents to retrieve, create, and delete pipelines, with write actions restricted to manually enabled Brave mode. It also introduces OAuth/PKCE authorization for MCP integrations, configurable retries for failed dependencies in build chains, and improved IntelliJ IDEA plugin functionality for test results, remote runs with uncommitted changes, MCP registration, and iOS build and TestFlight workflows. Additional updates include GitHub pull-request matching by source branch and a choice to compile Kotlin DSL settings on either the TeamCity server or build agents, alongside maintenance releases for earlier On-Premises versions.
