Busabase

Agent Skill

Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole change-request workflow, the CLI, and the full API — available in every future session without re-pasting anything.

Asks first

Busabase Cloud or Personal Desktop — your call, before anything happens.

Connects

Signs you in and stores the credential itself. No API key to copy by hand.

Seeds a Base

Creates and fills your first Base, so the workspace is not an empty screen.

Installs the skills

busabase and busabase-app-creator become permanent, for every session after this.

Install the Busabase skills

npx skills add busabase/skills

For this agent

If Agent Zero runs in Docker, install A0 CLI so it can reach the host terminal and filesystem, then let it follow SETUP_SKILL.md.

Prefer a connector?

If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

At a glance

Vendor: Agent Zero
How it connects: Plugin / Skill · busabase-cli · REST API · MCP + API key
Transport: Unknown
Authentication: API key
Config file: Settings > MCP/A2A tab > External MCP Servers

Run this

curl -fsSL https://bash.agent-zero.ai | bash

Install Agent Zero using its official installer and enable the host tools you intend to grant. In a trusted workspace, ask: Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Review the proposed shell commands and authorization flow, then ask Agent Zero to verify the active Busabase account and list the installed Busabase skills.

Agent Zero's MCP & A2A docs now document a remote MCP shape with header auth. Open Settings → MCP/A2A → External MCP Servers, paste the JSON below, and choose Apply now:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busabase": {
      "url": "https://busabase.com/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <your Busabase API key>" }
    }
  }
}

Create the key in Busabase Settings → API Keys first. No OAuth flow is documented for remote servers, so the header route is the documented one.

Known gotchas

The MCP & A2A docs document a remote shape (url + Authorization Bearer header) but never name the transport (streamable-http / SSE) for the url form, and document no OAuth flow — so the header/API-key route above is the documented one and mcp-transport stays unknown. If Agent Zero runs in Docker and the server sits on the host, use host.docker.internal (macOS/Windows) or the container name on the same Docker network (Linux). The active Agent Profile's MCP policy decides which MCP tools the agent may use; tools are namespaced <server>_<tool>. Local stdio servers use command/args in the same mcpServers block.
