概要

What is Bazel MCP Server?

Bazel MCP Server is a local server that exposes functionality of the Bazel build system to MCP-enabled AI agents. It is designed for environments where the command-line tool is absent or the shell has a misconfigured environment preventing Bazel use.

How to use Bazel MCP Server?

Install and run via npx -y github:nacgarg/bazel-mcp-server or clone the repository and build from source. Configuration can be provided through CLI arguments, environment variables, or a configuration file using keys like --bazel_path, --workspace_path, --workspace_config, and --log_path. The server is invoked automatically by MCP clients such as Cursor (via .cursor/mcp.json) or Claude Desktop.

FAQ from Bazel MCP Server

Does Bazel MCP Server require a Bazel binary on the system?

Yes, a Bazel binary must be available. It is usually auto-detected, but the path can be explicitly set via --bazel_path or the MCP_BAZEL_PATH environment variable.

Can I change the workspace path without restarting the server?

Yes, the bazel_set_workspace_path tool allows changing the workspace path at runtime.

What clients are supported?

The server works with any MCP-compatible client, including Cursor and Claude Desktop. Note that with Cursor Remote SSH sessions, the server runs locally and may not function as expected.

How is Bazel MCP Server configured?

Configuration is resolved in this order: CLI arguments, environment variables, then a configuration file. Key settings include --bazel_path, --workspace_path, --workspace_config, and --log_path.

Can I pass extra flags to Bazel commands?

Yes, each tool (except bazel_set_workspace_path) supports an additionalArgs parameter for passing flags like --verbose_failures or --test_output=all.
