Overview

What is Bazel Mcp?

Bazel Mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that exposes Bazel build system capabilities to AI assistants. It is designed for developers who want to interact with a Bazel workspace through an MCP-enabled client such as Cursor.

How to use Bazel Mcp?

Install the server with uvx and add a configuration entry to your MCP client’s JSON file (e.g., .cursor/mcp.json). Bazel commands run in your open workspace by default; if your client does not start from that directory, pass the workspace root explicitly with the --workspace-root flag.

Features of Bazel Mcp

  • Run arbitrary bazel query expressions
  • List targets in a package or subtree
  • Get direct or transitive dependencies of a target
  • Get reverse dependencies within a scope
  • Show rule definition via query --output=build
  • Run bazel build and bazel test
  • Read BUILD file contents for analysis

Use cases of Bazel Mcp

  • Ask an AI assistant for the dependencies of a specific Bazel target
  • Let an AI assistant build or test a target and return structured results
  • Have an AI assistant explain the contents of a BUILD file
  • Query the build graph for reverse dependencies during refactoring

Frequently asked questions

1

What does Bazel Mcp do?

It provides tools (bazel_query, list_targets, get_deps, get_rdeps, show_target_info, bazel_build, bazel_test, explain_build_file) that an AI assistant can invoke to inspect and control a Bazel workspace.

2

What runtime does it require?

The server requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to run.

3

Where are Bazel commands executed?

Commands run in the Bazel workspace that is open in your MCP client by default. If the client does not start the server from the workspace, you must supply the workspace root path via the `--workspace-root` flag.

4

Are there any optional configuration flags?

Yes. You can set `--bazel-path` to specify the Bazel binary (e.g., `bazelisk`), `--timeout` to change the command timeout in seconds, and `--max-output-chars` to limit the number of characters in command output.
