Buildpulse MCP Server

BuildPulse MCP

Model Context Protocol server for the BuildPulse Platform API. Surface flaky tests, CI run history, and coverage health in Claude Desktop, Cursor, ChatGPT, Cline, Windsurf, Continue, Zed, VS Code Copilot, and any other MCP-aware AI agent.

Install

npx -y @buildpulse/mcp

Or pin globally:

npm install -g @buildpulse/mcp

The package downloads the matching native binary for your platform on first install. Supported platforms: macOS arm64/x64, Linux arm64/x64, Windows x64.

Configure

Get a BuildPulse API token at https://app.buildpulse.io → Organization Settings → API Tokens.

Claude Desktop

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "buildpulse": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@buildpulse/mcp"],
      "env": { "BUILDPULSE_TOKEN": "your-buildpulse-api-token" }
    }
  }
}

Cursor

.cursor/mcp.json (per-project) or ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global): same JSON shape.

Other clients

Cline, Continue, Windsurf, Zed, and VS Code Copilot all read an mcpServers block in their respective config files. See the install hub for copy-paste snippets per client.

Tools

Every output that names a test or repo includes a web_url deep-link back to the BuildPulse web app — the same polish Sentry / Atlassian use in their MCP responses.

Prompts

The server also ships four guided prompts (slash-pickable in clients that support them):

• /triage_flaky_tests
• /ci_health_check
• /explain_test_failure
• /whats_red

Two transports

Same tool surface; same prompts; same resources. Pick whichever your client supports. The stdio path is universal; the hosted variant is the path to Claude.ai web and ChatGPT.

Resources

The server exposes two MCP resource templates so agents can pull state into context without a tool call:

• buildpulse://repos/{repo}/flaky-tests
• buildpulse://repos/{owner}/{name}/submissions
