What is create-connector?

A workflow for creating and testing Harness connectors to outside services such as Git providers, cloud platforms, container registries, or Kubernetes clusters. A connector stores the endpoint and authentication details Harness uses to reach that service.

Use it to generate connector YAML, create the connector in Harness, and run a connection test for services such as GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Docker, or Kubernetes.

It removes the need to write connector configuration manually and checks whether the connection works.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00049	$0.01933
Opus 5	$0.00024	$0.00966
Sonnet 5	$0.00010	$0.00387

Security

Grade A, and why

create-connector scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Create Connector

Generate Harness Connector YAML and create/test via MCP.

Instructions

Identify connector type - Determine what service to connect (Git provider, cloud provider, container registry, Kubernetes cluster)
Generate YAML using the templates below, filling in credentials and endpoint details
Create via MCP using harness_create with resource_type connector
Test connection using harness_execute with action test_connection to verify
