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

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: Anthropic
How it connects: MCP + OAuth · Plugin / Skill
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: OAuth (dynamic registration)
Config file: ~/.claude.json (user scope); project scope: .mcp.json

Run this

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user busabase https://busabase.com/api/mcp
claude mcp login busabase

Add a user-scoped HTTP server so it is available in every project:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user busabase https://busabase.com/api/mcp
claude mcp login busabase
claude mcp get busabase

You can also open /mcp inside Claude Code, select Busabase, and complete authentication there. Verify by asking Claude to call auth_verify.

If authentication is stale, clear the stored credentials and sign in again:

claude mcp logout busabase
claude mcp login busabase

Remove the configuration entirely with claude mcp remove --scope user busabase (removing a remote server also deletes its stored OAuth tokens and client registration).

Claude Code MCP documentation

Known gotchas

If authentication goes stale, clear it from /mcp, or run `claude mcp remove --scope user busabase` and repeat OAuth. Separately, the current docs warn that a JSON entry with a `url` but no `type` is read as a stdio server and skipped with an error — when copying a config from another client, add `"type": "http"`. And if you set an `Authorization` header for the server, Claude Code uses it as the credential and does not fall back to OAuth for that server.

Let your agent do the setup

One instruction, one authorization, and every change it makes afterwards carries a message and a diff you can check or revert.
