Per-user rate limiting for the Buildkite MCP server
The Buildkite Remote MCP server now rate limits on a per-user basis, so one person can't chew through your organization's entire API quota.
If you've been hesitant to roll out the remote MCP server broadly, this should help. Each user gets their own limit of 50 requests per minute, so you can invite your whole team to connect their AI coding assistants to Buildkite without worrying about one heavy user blocking everyone else.
There's nothing to configure, per-user limits apply automatically. If someone hits their limit, only their requests are throttled. Everyone else carries on as normal.
For more on API rate limits across Buildkite, see the Remote MCP server limits documentation.
