Workflow

GitHub PR fails
      │
      ▼
gh pr checks ──► extract invocation ID from BuildBuddy URL
      │
      ▼
ToolSearch +buildbuddy ──► load MCP tools

Step 1: Get the Invocation ID

bash
1# Extract invocation ID from PR check links
2gh pr checks --json link | jq -r '.[] | select(.link | contains("buildbuddy")) | .link' | grep -o '[^/]*$' | head -1

The invocation ID is the last path segment of the BuildBuddy URL: https://jomcgi.buildbuddy.io/invocation/<invocation_id>

Step 2: Investigate with MCP Tools

Use the invocation ID with MCP tools — no API key or curl needed:

  1. Get overview: buildbuddy-mcp-get-invocation — check .invocation.success, command, duration
  2. Get logs: buildbuddy-mcp-get-log — search for error/fail/fatal messages
  3. Get targets: buildbuddy-mcp-get-target — find which targets failed
  4. Get actions: buildbuddy-mcp-get-action — dig into specific action failures
  5. Get files: buildbuddy-mcp-get-file — download test outputs or artifacts

Tips

  • Reproduce locally with bazel test //... --config=ci
  • BuildBuddy logs may be paginated — use page tokens for large logs
  • Check .invocation.success boolean to quickly determine pass/fail
  • A PreToolUse hook blocks direct curl to the BuildBuddy API — use MCP tools instead
