How to Use the Buildkite MCP in Windsurf
Let Windsurf trigger builds and monitor agents directly from your editor.
Works with every AI agent you already use
…and any MCP-compatible client
Connect Buildkite MCP to Windsurf
Create your Vinkius account to connect Buildkite to Windsurf and route execution through our secure gateway. The platform manages server hosting, runtime updates, and security layers. Configuration requires no manual server provisioning.
Manage your CI/CD pipeline in Windsurf
Cascade reads your codebase and decides when to fire `create_build` or `rebuild`. You set the goal, and the agent handles the sequence without waiting for your input. It checks pipeline health using `get_pipeline` to ensure your deployment environment is ready. Windsurf then executes the build flow while you stay focused on writing code.
Control build status with Windsurf
Stop runaway jobs by calling `cancel_build` the moment you spot a failure. The agent watches the logs and reacts before you even switch tabs. `get_build` provides the specific failure reason. Windsurf parses this output to suggest fixes, keeping your development loop tight.
Track infrastructure with this MCP Server
Query your entire fleet by using `list_agents` to see which machines are currently processing jobs. This MCP Server gives your agent full visibility into your build capacity. It maps out your organization with `list_organizations` to help Cascade navigate complex setups. You get real-time status updates without leaving the IDE.
