Full documentation is available at buildkite.com/docs/apis/mcp-server. When using many MCP tools, context usage can become significant. The --dynamic-toolsets flag enables Anthropic's Tool Search pattern which marks most tools for on-demand loading. To use this feature: 1. Start the server with the --dynamic-toolsets flag: 2. Enable tool search in Claude Code by setting the environment variable: W

The `--dynamic-toolsets` flag enables [Anthropic's Tool Search pattern](https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/mcp-toolsearch) which marks most tools for on-demand loading.1415To use this feature:16171. Start the server with the `--dynamic-toolsets` flag:18 ```bash19 buildkite-mcp-server stdio --dynamic-toolsets20 ```21222. Enable tool search in Claude Code by setting the environment variable:23 ```bash24 export ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=true25 ```2627With both enabled, tools will be loaded on-demand rather than all at once, significantly reducing context usage. Use the `list_toolsets` tool to browse available categories and `search_tools` to discover specific tools.2829**Note:** This feature requires Claude Code support for the `defer_loading` hint. See [claude-code#12836](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/12836) for details.3031---3233## Library Usage3435The exported Go API of this module should be considered unstable, and subject to breaking changes as we evolve this project.3637---3839## Security4041To ensure the MCP server is run in a secure environment, we recommend running it in a container.4243This image is built from [cgr.dev/chainguard/static](https://images.chainguard.dev/directory/image/static/versions) and runs as an unprivileged user.4445---4647## Contributing4849Development guidelines are in [`DEVELOPMENT.md`](DEVELOPMENT.md).5051---5253## License5455MIT © Buildkite5657SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT58
