Busabase
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.
npx skills add busabase/skillsPrefer a connector?
If you would rather wire Busabase in as MCP tools than let the agent install a skill, use the server URL below.

--auth oauth \
--oauth-scope mcp
openclaw mcp login busabase
openclaw mcp doctor busabase --probeRegister Busabase as a Streamable HTTP OAuth server:
openclaw mcp add busabase \
--url https://busabase.com/api/mcp \
--transport streamable-http \
--auth oauth \
--oauth-scope mcp
openclaw mcp login busabase
openclaw mcp doctor busabase --probe
Note: the CLI commands above (add, login, doctor --probe) require the local Gateway to be stopped — they need exclusive state ownership and will refuse with stop-and-retry guidance while a Gateway owns the state directory. If you want to add or sign in while the Gateway is running, use the Control UI instead: Settings → MCP → Add server, then Sign in.
For a headless session, open the printed authorization URL elsewhere. If OpenClaw returns a code instead of completing the callback automatically, finish with:
openclaw mcp login busabase --code <CODE>
Log out and repeat mcp login to switch the Busabase account or grant.
Known gotchas
In a headless session OpenClaw may return a code instead of completing the callback — finish with `openclaw mcp login busabase --code <CODE>`. CLI registry changes and OAuth login require the Gateway to be stopped (exclusive state ownership); use the Control UI's Settings → MCP page for live edits and sign-in. OAuth credentials now live in the owner-only SQLite store at <state-dir>/state/openclaw.sqlite (which can hold dynamic client registration secrets); the retired <state-dir>/mcp-oauth/*.json store is only migrated by `openclaw doctor --fix` and is never read at runtime. If `transport` is omitted OpenClaw defaults to `sse`, so keep `streamable-http` explicit for Busabase.

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.
