Usage

Run against a Bazel workspace. Open that repo in Cursor, then add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bazel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "git+https://github.com/saeid-rez/bazel-mcp", "bazel-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Requires uv. Bazel commands run in your open workspace by default.

If your MCP client does not start the server from the Bazel workspace, pass the workspace explicitly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bazel": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/saeid-rez/bazel-mcp",
        "bazel-mcp",
        "--workspace-root",
        "/path/to/your/bazel/workspace"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Other optional flags:

bazel-mcp --bazel-path bazelisk --timeout 600 --max-output-chars 64000
