# Buildkite MCP server for AI agents.

actionlake is an MCP gateway: one remote MCP server that connects Claude and other MCP clients to Buildkite and the rest of your systems. It gives your agent 234 Buildkite actions (108 reads, 84 writes and 42 that wait for a confirmation) and holds the Buildkite credential itself, so the agent never does. It paces Buildkite's limits and records every call.

[Connect Buildkite free](https://actionlake.com/console?start=sandbox) [See pricing](https://actionlake.com/pricing)

100,000 free calls a month. No card, no email, no password: press Start a free sandbox on the next screen and keep the key it shows you.

`claude mcp add --transport http actionlake https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`

the first call

```
do {
  action: "buildkite.agents.list",
  intent: "check which Buildkite account is connected"
}
# List agents · read · 1 upstream call
```

- 234 actions in one signed file
- 108 read look, never change
- 84 write create and update
- 42 wait for a yes destructive, confirmed first

Set up

## Connect Buildkite in three steps.

1. 01
   ### Add actionlake to Claude.
   Run the command once in Claude Code; its consent page can create a free sandbox: 100,000 calls a month, no card. In the Claude app, add a custom connector with the URL below and paste your key on the consent page. Creating a new sandbox from the Claude app is not yet tested by us.
   `https://connect.actionlake.com/mcp`
2. 02
   ### Connect Buildkite.
   Bearer token. No consent screen: your agent can connect it for you, but the key then passes through your chat. To keep it out of the model's context, paste it in the console instead. actionlake stores what you paste write-only, sealed under your tenant's key.
   - `access_token` Buildkite API access token (Personal Settings > API Access Tokens) with the read_* / write_* scopes you need
   - `organization` Your Buildkite organization
   ```
   account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "buildkite" }
   # free: exactly what to paste, and what is found for you
   ```
3. 03
   ### Make the first call. Check before a write.
   Ask in plain words; Claude picks the action. Before anything changes, `check` validates the call and prices it, for free.
   ```
   do    { action: "buildkite.agents.list" }
   # list agents · read · 1 upstream call
   check { action: "buildkite.teams.create", input: { … } }
   # free: inputs, permissions, cost and confirmations, nothing sent
   ```

Top actions

## The Buildkite API, shaped for agents.

The ids your agent types, what each does, and the one name it shares with other systems. 49 of Buildkite's 49 action names are shared with at least one other connector, so an agent learns them once.

| Action | What it does | Effect | Same name in |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `buildkite.members.list` List organization members | Lists the organization's members with role and SSO mode. | read | `identity.user.list` 474 connectors |
| `buildkite.teams.list` List teams | Lists the organization's teams. | read | `identity.group.list` 262 connectors |
| `buildkite.team_members.list` List team members | Lists a team's members. | read | `identity.group_member.list` 103 connectors |
| `buildkite.artifacts.list` List artifacts for a build | Lists a build's artifacts. | read | `devops.artifact.list` 17 connectors |
| `buildkite.repository_connections.repositories.list` List repositories | Lists repositories reachable through a repository connection. | read | `devops.repository.list` 28 connectors |
| `buildkite.teams.create` Create a team | Creates a team. | write | `identity.group.create` 205 connectors |
| `buildkite.members.get` Get an organization member | Returns one organization member. | read | `identity.user.get` 399 connectors |
| `buildkite.members.update` Update an organization member | Changes a member's role or SSO requirement. | write | `identity.user.update` 280 connectors |
| `buildkite.user.get` Get the current user | Returns the user who owns the API access token. | read | `identity.current_user.get` 307 connectors |
| `buildkite.teams.update` Update a team | Updates a team. | write | `identity.group.update` 189 connectors |

Try it

## Prompts to paste into Claude.

Each one names the Buildkite actions it will call, so you know what it reads and what it changes before you send it.

1. Read read
   List our Buildkite repositories with their visibility and default branch.
   calls `buildkite.repository_connections.repositories.list`
2. Write write
   Create a team in Buildkite. Show me exactly what you will send before you save it.
   calls `buildkite.teams.create`

Governance for Buildkite

## Destructive actions wait for a yes.

42 Buildkite actions are destructive. The first 10:

- Remove an organization member `buildkite.members.remove`
- Delete a team `buildkite.teams.delete`
- Delete an artifact `buildkite.artifacts.delete`
- Delete a pipeline `buildkite.pipelines.delete`
- Cancel a build `buildkite.builds.cancel`
- Cancel a job `buildkite.jobs.cancel`
- Delete a package `buildkite.packages.delete`
- Delete a job's log output `buildkite.jobs.log.delete`
- Delete a registry `buildkite.registries.delete`
- Delete a secret `buildkite.secrets.delete`

A destructive action runs only with `confirm: true`. Under the `human` policy the agent cannot confirm for itself: the run stops until a named person approves, in the console or from a signed link in an email. The cap on a key is refused before the call is sent, never after.

do buildkite.members.remove confirm_policy: **human**

Remove an organization member?

**intent:** the user asked me to remove an organization member

run suspended · waiting for a named person · key _buildkite-agent_ cannot confirm itself

In the console, or from an emailed signed link.

a key for this connector

```
account {
  op: "keys.create", name: "buildkite-agent",
  allowed_actions: ["buildkite.*"], cap_calls: 2000,
  confirm_policy: "human_for_writes",
  approval_rules: [
    { match: "buildkite.members.remove", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "buildkite.teams.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" },
    { match: "buildkite.artifacts.delete", approver: "lead@example.com" }
  ]
}
```

Illustrative. Scoped to Buildkite only, capped at 2,000 upstream calls, every write confirmed, and the destructive ones approved by a named person.

Cost

## What Buildkite costs on actionlake.

Every Buildkite action is one upstream call, the only thing actionlake bills. Searching, `check`, `cost`, `account` and any call Buildkite refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

- 1 upstream call per action all 234 Buildkite actions
- 234 actions page each page of a long list is one call
- 86 reads can be cached a cache hit costs nothing
- 100,000 calls a month, free paid plans from US$49 a month for 250,000

Questions

## The Buildkite MCP server, answered.

**Is there a Buildkite MCP server for Claude?**

Yes. actionlake is an MCP gateway: a remote MCP server that gives Claude, or another MCP client, 234 Buildkite actions across jobs, pipelines, pipeline settings and tests, through the same eight tools it uses for every other connector. actionlake is independent; it is not made or endorsed by Buildkite.

**What do I need to connect Buildkite?**

Buildkite API access token (Personal Settings > API Access Tokens) with the read_* / write_* scopes you need. Plus your organization. The free call account { op: "connections.requirements", service: "buildkite" } lists exactly what to paste.

**Can an AI agent delete or change things in Buildkite?**

Only if its key allows it, and only with an explicit confirmation. 42 Buildkite actions are destructive, including remove an organization member, delete a team and delete an artifact. Each runs only with confirm: true. Under the human confirm policy, or an approval rule on the key, the run waits until a named person approves it.

**Will an AI agent use up my Buildkite API limit?**

actionlake paces every call to the limits in the Buildkite service file: 50 calls a minute per connection. Repeated reads are answered from cache (86 Buildkite actions can be), which never reaches Buildkite.

**What does a Buildkite action cost?**

One upstream call, the only unit actionlake bills. A list that pages bills one call per page (234 Buildkite actions page). Cache hits, searches, dry runs and calls Buildkite refused with 401, 403, 429 or a 5xx are free. The Free plan includes 100,000 calls a month with no card. Paid plans start at US$49 a month for 250,000 calls, with overage from US$0.30 down to US$0.18 per 1,000.

**Which Buildkite API does it cover?**

The Buildkite REST API v2 (+ Test Engine analytics API) at api.buildkite.com/v2. It is built from Buildkite's documentation as read on 23 October 2026. 234 actions in 52 areas, each one in the signed service file (version 1.0.0).

**Does actionlake keep my Buildkite data, and where?**

actionlake processes and stores data in Sydney, Australia; there is no US region yet. Reads may be cached for up to 5 minutes, and a write clears the reads it affects. Each run's request and response is kept, sealed, for your plan's trace window: 1 day on Free, 3 days on Starter, 7 days on Pro, 14 days on Team, 30 days on Business and 30 days on Enterprise. Your Buildkite credential is sealed under your tenant's key, never logged and never returned. Your traffic is not used to train models.

**Which AI clients can use it?**

Claude Code, tested by us end to end, and the Claude app as a custom connector, tested by us with an existing key. Other MCP clients that support remote servers over Streamable HTTP (MCP revisions 2025-06-18 and 2025-11-25) and OAuth dynamic client registration, or a bearer header, should connect the same way; we have not tested them. Or plain REST, under the same action names.
