Install

claude mcp add --transport http buildkite https://mcp.buildkite.com/mcp

Hosted server with OAuth, command from Buildkite docs.

This is third-party code. Review the repository files before installing.

What it does

The server exposes Buildkite data to the agent: pipelines, builds, jobs, logs and tests. The agent can diagnose a failed build from its logs without opening the web UI. Buildkite hosts a server with OAuth sign-in, a read-only variant and a variant that takes an API token. The tool set can be narrowed to selected groups. It can also run locally via Docker, Homebrew or from source.

Who it is for. For teams whose CI and CD run on Buildkite.

Good fit when

  • You need to find why a build failed from job logs
  • You want to check a pipeline's status for a branch
  • You need to give a CI agent token-based access to Buildkite data

Not a fit when

  • Your CI is not on Buildkite
  • Local test logs are enough for the agent

Example request

Why did the latest web pipeline build on main fail? Show the error from the logs

Limitations

Requires a Buildkite account. Permissions come from the user's OAuth grant or API token scopes. The module's Go API is considered unstable. Access to Buildkite from Russia without a VPN is not verified.

How to disable. Run claude mcp remove buildkite or delete the server from the client config; for OAuth revoke access in Buildkite settings.

Security check

  • Reads build logs that may contain secrets
  • With write scopes it can affect pipelines

README in short

The README is short and points to Buildkite docs. It recommends running the server in a container built on a minimal unprivileged Chainguard image. It also covers header passthrough in HTTP mode, including authenticating each request with its own token. MIT licensed.

FAQ

Can I give the agent read-only access?

Yes, Buildkite docs describe /readonly URLs such as https://mcp.buildkite.com/mcp/readonly.

How do I run it locally?

Use docker run with the buildkite/mcp-server image and BUILDKITE_API_TOKEN, or brew install buildkite/buildkite/buildkite-mcp-server.
