Buildkite MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless integration with Buildkite, enabling AI assistants to interact with your CI/CD pipelines directly. Monitor build statuses, retrieve pipeline information, and manage your continuous integration workflows through natural language conversations with your AI assistant.

Overview

The Buildkite MCP Server bridges the gap between your AI assistant and your Buildkite infrastructure, allowing you to access critical CI/CD information without leaving your workflow. Whether you need to check the status of a recent build, investigate pipeline configurations, or review build artifacts, this server provides the tools your AI assistant needs to help you stay on top of your development pipeline.

How It Works

Once connected, your AI assistant can respond to natural language requests about your Buildkite infrastructure. Simply ask questions or make requests in plain English, and the assistant will use the MCP server to fetch the relevant information from Buildkite's API. The server handles all the communication details, presenting you with clear, actionable information formatted for easy understanding.
