Buildkite Mcp Server

Overview

Buildkite Mcp Server exposes Buildkite API data—pipelines, builds, jobs, and tests—directly to AI tooling and editors through the Model Context Protocol. It lets Claude, Cursor, VS Code, and other MCP clients query and interact with your Buildkite infrastructure as native tools.

The server runs locally via Docker using the image ghcr.io/buildkite/buildkite-mcp-server:0.7.0 and communicates over stdio. You'll need to provide your BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN as an environment variable to authenticate with the Buildkite API. The project is MIT licensed and maintained on GitHub at buildkite/buildkite-mcp-server, where it has 53 stars.

Buildkite Mcp Server is listed in the AI & Agents category and works with MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and others. If you maintain this server, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information current.
