zed-mcp-server-buildkite
Provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration for Zed to browse and interact with Buildkite CI/CD resources such as pipelines, builds, jobs/logs, and build artifacts using a Buildkite API token configured in Zed.
Score Breakdown
⚙ Agent Friendliness
🔒 Security
Uses a Buildkite API token configured in Zed. The provided documentation does not specify least-privilege scopes, how tokens are stored, or whether token values could be logged. TLS and dependency hygiene cannot be verified from the supplied README/metadata alone.
⚡ Reliability
Best When
You want Buildkite visibility and artifact/job-log exploration directly inside the Zed editor via MCP, and you’re comfortable granting the extension a Buildkite API token.
Avoid When
You require strict controls over where secrets are stored/logged, or you need formal guarantees about rate limiting, error codes, and pagination behavior being surfaced to the agent.
Use Cases
- • View recent Buildkite builds for a pipeline
- • Inspect jobs and retrieve job logs
- • List an organization’s pipelines
- • Download or review build artifacts from within Zed
Not For
- • Running or modifying Buildkite resources (e.g., triggering builds, creating/deleting pipelines) if not explicitly supported by the MCP tools
- • Organizations that cannot store/handle Buildkite API tokens in editor configuration
Interface
Authentication
The README indicates an API token is required and is configured in Zed. It does not describe token scope minimization or which Buildkite permissions are needed.
Pricing
No pricing information is provided for the MCP extension or usage.
Agent Metadata
Known Gotchas
- ⚠ Only a high-level README is provided; specific MCP tool names, input/output schemas, pagination behavior, and error codes are not documented here.
- ⚠ Token-based auth is required; agents may inadvertently expose secrets if logs or prompts echo configuration values.
- ⚠ No guidance is provided for handling Buildkite API rate limits or transient failures within MCP calls.
