The inclusion of alpha-elements abundances is crucial to disentangling the chemical evolution of any stellar system. This paper provides a catalogue of high-precision and accurate magnesium and calcium abundances from a wide variety of stars well distributed in the Hertzsprung-Russell (HR) diagram. We originally performed an analysis of the derived Mg and Ca abundances for medium-resolution spectra from the XSL Data Release 2. For this purpose, we used the GAUGUIN automated abundance estimation code to fit the ultraviolet-blue (UVB) and visible (VIS) spectra. We tested the consistency of the atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances with the Gaia DR3 and the AMBRE Project datasets.We have obtained precise [Mg/Fe] and [Ca/Fe] abundances for 192 and 217 stars respectively, from which 174 stars have measurements in both elements. The stars cover a broad range of effective temperature 4000&lt;Teff&lt;6500K, surface gravity 0.3&lt;log(g)&lt;4.8cm/s^2^, and metallicity -2.5&lt;[Fe/H]&lt;+0.4dex. We find an excellent agreement with the abundance estimates from the AMBRE:HARPS and the Gaia/RVS analysis. Moreover, the resulting abundances reproduce a plateau in the metal-poor regime followed by a decreasing trend even at supersolar metallicities, as predicted by Galactic chemical evolution models. This catalogue is suitable for improving the modelling of evolutionary stellar population models with empirical alpha-enhancements, which could significantly contribute to the analysis of external galaxies abundances in the near future.</description><source format="bibcode">2023A&amp;A...672A.166S</source><referenceURL>https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/A+A/672/A166</referenceURL><type>Catalog</type><contentLevel>Research</contentLevel><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/TAP">TAP VizieR generic service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>IsServedBy</relationshipType><relatedResource>Conesearch service</relatedResource></relationship><relationship><relationshipType>related-to</relationshipType><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/345">I/345 : Gaia DR2 (Gaia Collaboration, 2018)</relatedResource><relatedResource ivo-id="ivo://CDS.VizieR/I/355">I/355 : Gaia DR3 Part 1.
