Harness Inc. · harness.io · status page · who's behind it

Harness Feature Management & Experimentation (FME), formerly Split, manages feature flags, targeting, metrics and experiments. Agents reach it through the Admin API at api.split.io and the FME toolset of the Harness MCP server.

Best for Teams already on Harness, or Split customers, who want agents to inspect and change flags and segments with guard rails.

Assessment. Harness FME, formerly Split, gives agents 11 consolidated MCP tools with an FME-only toolset, a read-only switch and confirmation on writes, over an Admin API with documented limits and role-scoped keys. FME prices are not published, the free plan's limits are unstated, and the hosted MCP endpoint must be enabled by Harness Support.

Facts verified 6 November 2026 from vendor docs, repositories and package registries. JSON · Markdown

Strengths

  • 11 generic MCP tools with --toolsets=fme, readOnlyHint on reads and elicitation before writes
  • HARNESS_READ_ONLY blocks every create, update, delete and execute call
  • Admin API keys with fixed, combinable roles, plus Harness PATs and SATs
  • Documented rate limit with remaining and reset headers, and automatic backoff in the MCP server
  • SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and FedRAMP 20x, with FME audit logs and MCP audit sinks

Weaknesses

  • No FME prices are published; Enterprise is by quotation and free plan limits are unstated
  • The hosted MCP endpoint must be enabled per account by Harness Support
  • The FME MCP docs page still describes building a Go binary, unlike the current npm package
  • About 20 Admin API requests per 10 seconds per organisation, which large lists can hit
  • No public OpenAPI file for the Admin API was found

Before you call it notes for agents

  1. Start the MCP server with --toolsets=fme so only FME resource types load
  2. Call harness_describe(resource_type='fme_feature_flag') before a create or update to see the fields
  3. Filter fme_feature_flag lists by name, tags or rollout status rather than listing every flag
  4. Set HARNESS_READ_ONLY for analysis tasks; leave confirmation on for kill, restore and delete
  5. On 429, wait at least the larger X-RateLimit-Reset-Seconds value before retrying

A reading by a fixed set of rules, each answered with the vendor's own sentence. It isn't legal advice, a rule can miss a clause or misread one, and the document itself is what binds. How it's read and scored.

The Admin API is on api.split.io, the former Split domain, and the hosted MCP endpoint on mcp.harness.io.

The privacy statement names Harness Inc. as controller and Harness France SAS as EU representative. Its header says last updated 23 October 2026 and its body says version of 14 October 2026.

developer.harness.io/robots.txt allows all and carries Content-Signal ai-train=yes, search=yes, ai-input=yes. docs.split.io allows all but edit and login paths.

Raised $570M in total, as of November 2026 source

Valuation $5.5B as announced (the source doesn't say pre- or post-money), Series E, December 2025, December 2025 source

Backed byMenlo Ventures,BIG Labs,IVP,GV,ServiceNow,Unusual Ventures,Alkeon Capital,Battery Ventures,Citi,Norwest,Sorenson Capital,Thomvest Ventures,J.P. Morgan,Capital One,Splunk,Adage Capital Partners,Balyasny Asset Management,Gaingels,Harmonic Growth Partners,Goldman Sachs

Researched 6 November 2026 from public pages. Harness's about page names Jyoti Bansal as Co-Founder & CEO, with his LinkedIn, and Rishi Singh as Co-Founder & Board Member; the Series A release (October 2017) calls Rishi Singh CTO and co-founder. FME is the former Split Software, acquired by Harness in May 2024 per Harness's press page. Investors and rounds are from Harness's own press releases: Series A (October 2017, $20M led by Menlo Ventures and BIG Labs), Series B (2019, $60M led by IVP, GV and ServiceNow Ventures), Series C and B-1 (January 2021, $115M, $1.7B valuation), Series D (April 2022, $230M at $3.7B, led by Norwest) and Series E (11 December 2025, $240M led by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, including a $40M tender offer, valuing Harness at $5.5B). The about page says Harness has raised $570M and shows the same investors' logos. Silicon Valley Bank, named among existing investors in the Series D release, and Hercules Capital provided the $150M financing of May 2024, which the releases describe as debt, so neither is listed as an investor. Harness also announced its acquisition of Augment Code on 8 October 2026. Shown for information, not part of the grade yet.

Notable

  • The Harness MCP server 2.0 exposes 11 generic tools (harness_list, harness_get, harness_create, harness_update, harness_delete, harness_execute and others) over 269 resource types, and --toolsets=fme limits it to seven FME resource types source
  • The Admin API allows about 20 requests per 10-second window per organisation and per IP, returns 429 with X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset-Seconds headers, and the MCP server retries 429s with exponential backoff up to 3 times source
  • HARNESS_READ_ONLY blocks every create, update, delete and execute call, and writes ask for confirmation by MCP elicitation unless HARNESS_AUTO_APPROVE_RISK allows them source
  • harness-mcp-v2 3.2.40 on npm, MIT, 14 tagged releases between 8 August and 4 November 2026 source
  • Harness announced its acquisition of Split Software in May 2024; Split's pricing URL now redirects to harness.io/pricing source
  • The FME MCP docs page still tells readers to build a Go binary from source, while the repository is now a TypeScript package run with npx source

Score breakdown methodology v0.7 · October 2026 research run

Assessed on 6 November 2026 from public evidence, against the published checklist. Confidence medium. Performance and Task success are pending until our probes and task suites run, so the total is over the 7 assessed categories, each weight divided by 80.

Reliabilitychecked 6 November 2026 16%20 16.0
Graded on the hosted FME Admin API with the hosted lines. Statuspage at status.harness.io with an FME component among 196 (20). In the 90 days from 8 August, two FME incidents: API write operations returned 499 errors for 30 minutes on 20 August (minor) and the FME user interface was unavailable for 15 minutes on 23 August (major, interface only; flag evaluation was unaffected per the post). No API outage of an hour or more (20 of 30). About 20 Admin API requests per 10 seconds per organisation and per IP, documented on the MCP page (15). 429 responses carry remaining and reset headers with guidance to wait for the larger reset, and the MCP server backs off and retries three times (15). No SLA was found on harness.io/pricing or the FME docs (0). FME is generally available and the MCP server is at 3.2.40 (10). 20+20+15+15+0+10 = 80.

Schema & documentationchecked 6 November 2026 13%16.2 11.5
No public OpenAPI file for the Admin API was found; the reference is a ReadMe site with a Postman collection. The MCP server's 11 tools have typed inputs, and harness_describe returns each FME resource's fields (18 of 25). llms.txt on both developer.harness.io and docs.split.io, and every page as Markdown with .md (10). The README describes each tool and when writes ask for confirmation; resource details sit behind harness_describe rather than in the tool text (13 of 20). The generic tools take a resource_type string and a body, so per-resource constraints aren't in the schema (8 of 15). An error-code page lists 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 409 and 429 with causes, and docs carry curl examples (10 of 15). Tagged MCP releases and dated SDK versioning policy; the Admin API has v1 and v2 paths and deprecation notices for Split-era endpoints (12 of 15). 18+10+13+8+10+12 = 71.
Agent ergonomicschecked 6 November 2026 13%16.2 13.5
11 consolidated tools, and --toolsets=fme narrows the server to FME (25). Flag lists filter server-side by name, tag and rollout status, and the Admin API paginates with markerLimit (17 of 20). Documented status codes, 429 headers, and a harness_diagnose tool. Error bodies aren't documented per endpoint (14 of 20). harness_list and harness_get carry readOnlyHint, write tools ask for confirmation by elicitation, and harness_delete is marked destructive. No idempotency keys (15 of 20). Two required settings (API key, optional org and project, account ID read from the token); a Python Admin API wrapper and CLI, and SDKs in more than a dozen languages for evaluation (12 of 15). 25+17+14+15+12 = 83.

Admin API keys with combinable roles that can't be widened after creation, Harness PATs and SATs for central management, and Harness Platform OAuth on the hosted MCP endpoint. Credentials travel in headers (28 of 30). HARNESS_READ_ONLY removes every write, writes go through elicitation with a risk threshold for auto-approval, and FME change requests add approval for flag changes (19 of 20). No prompt-injection guidance; the tools return flag names, descriptions and rule data written by people (3 of 15). FME admin, environment and object audit logs, plus structured MCP audit events to file, webhook or OpenTelemetry sinks (13 of 15). SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, 27017 and 27018, FedRAMP 20x, a security@harness.io disclosure route with a 24-hour response, a private bug bounty on request and annual external penetration tests.

Issue response times weren't read because the GitHub API refused us for its rate limit (15 of 25).

Fix list 18 items, the biggest gain first

Everything this grade says the listing lacks, from the reasons above, the checklist, the provenance checks, the deductions, what we couldn't check and what the review panel asked for, with the steps, ready to paste into a coding agent working on Harness Feature Management & Experimentation. A fix counts at the next check, once it's public.

What we couldn't check

  • Disclosure. On 6 November 2026 we read https://status.harness.io/api/v2/incidents.json and components.json before reading robots.txt, which disallows /api/ on that host. Both FME incidents were then confirmed on the allowed /history pages.
  • unchecked: FME Free Plan limits and whether a card is needed, which aren't published
  • unchecked: the sub-processor list on trust.harness.io, which wasn't read
  • unchecked: GitHub issue response times on harness/mcp-server, because the GitHub API refused us for its rate limit
  • Whether the harness/mcp-server package is published in the official MCP registry; a search for harness namespaces found none
  • The FME MCP docs page and the repository README disagree on how to install the server
