MCP.Pizza Chef: buildkite

The buildkite-mcp-server is an MCP server that integrates Buildkite CI/CD data into AI tools and editors. It provides structured access to Buildkite pipelines, builds, jobs, logs, and artifacts, enabling real-time context and interaction for models like Claude Desktop and GitHub Copilot. This server facilitates automation and enhanced workflows around Buildkite's continuous integration environment.

Use This MCP server To

Retrieve detailed pipeline information from Buildkite List all pipelines within a Buildkite organization Fetch all builds for a specific Buildkite pipeline Access logs for individual Buildkite jobs List artifacts generated by Buildkite jobs Download specific artifacts from Buildkite jobs Integrate Buildkite data into AI-assisted coding tools Enable real-time Buildkite context in developer editors

Build status

This is an Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for Buildkite. The goal is to provide access to information from buildkite about pipelines, builds and jobs to tools such as Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot and other tools, or editors.

Tools

  • get_pipeline - Get details of a specific pipeline in Buildkite
  • list_pipelines - List all pipelines in a buildkite organization
  • list_builds - List all builds in a pipeline in Buildkite
  • get_job_logs - Get logs for a specific job in Buildkite
  • list_artifacts - List all artifacts for a specific job in Buildkite
  • get_artifact - Get a specific artifact for a specific job in Buildkite
  • current_user - Get details of the current user in Buildkite
  • user_token_organization - Get the organization associated with the user token used for this request

Example of the get_pipeline tool in action.

Get Pipeline Tool

Production

Pull the pre-built image (recommended):

docker pull ghcr.io/buildkite/buildkite-mcp-server

Or build it yourself using GoReleaser and copy the binary into your path:

goreleaser build --snapshot --clean

configuration

Create a buildkite api token with read access to pipelines.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Use this configuration if you want to run the server buildkite-mcp-server Docker (recommended):
