Buildkite

Buildkite is a hybrid CI/CD platform that combines a hosted control plane (pipelines.buildkite.com) with self-hosted or Buildkite-Hosted agents that run jobs on customer-controlled infrastructure. The platform spans three core products — Pipelines, Test Engine, and Package Registries — and exposes them through a v2 REST API, a Relay-compliant GraphQL API at graphql.buildkite.com/v1, an Agent API at agent.buildkite.com/v3 consumed by the open-source Go agent, webhooks, and an official MCP server that surfaces those APIs to AI coding agents. Customers route work to specific agent pools through clusters and queues, define pipelines as YAML with dynamic uploads, and integrate with the major source control, cloud, identity, secrets, and observability vendors.

Buildkite publishes 19 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Access Token API, Agent Tokens API, Agents API, and 16 more. Tagged areas include CI/CD, Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, DevOps, and Pipelines.

The Buildkite catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Buildkite’s developer surface includes authentication, CLI, changelog, developer portal, documentation, getting-started guide, signup flow, and 56 more developer resources.

description: Buildkite is a hybrid CI/CD platform that combines a hosted control plane (pipelines.buildkite.com) with self-hosted
  or Buildkite-Hosted agents that run jobs on customer-controlled infrastructure. The platform spans three core products —
  Pipelines, Test Engine, and Package Registries — and exposes them through a v2 REST API, a Relay-compliant GraphQL API at
  graphql.buildkite.com/v1, an Agent API at agent.buildkite.com/v3 consumed by the open-source Go agent, webhooks, and an
  official MCP server that surfaces those APIs to AI coding agents. Customers route work to specific agent pools through clusters
  and queues, define pipelines as YAML with dynamic uploads, and integrate with the major source control, cloud, identity,
  secrets, and observability vendors.
