Give your agent a base to work from
Three install paths, one outcome: your agent can read and write a Busabase workspace — records, docs, files and skills — with every write landing as a reviewable change request.

The following steps are for AI agents. Some steps require the user to complete an action in a browser; hand them the sign-in link and wait for their confirmation.
1Install the skills
Installs the Busabase skill set — the workspace operator (busabase), the day-to-day ops playbook (busabase-ops) and the app creator — into the current agent.
Terminalnpx skills add busabase/skills2Connect, with OAuth
Cloud: point the agent at the hosted MCP server and complete the browser OAuth sign-in — no API key to paste. Desktop: the local endpoint needs no auth. Plugin users get this step bundled: Claude Code and Codex plugins ship the skills and the MCP connection in one install (see the plugin pages).

If this is a fresh workspace, paste the onboarding prompt from the Busabase dashboard (the Agent Skills button): it walks the agent through seeding a first Base. Existing workspace? Just start working — the skills read the space's own instructions and playbooks first.
For agents
Your agent can install Busabase itself
Busabase is the base your agents work from — and getting it into an agent takes one command, not an integration project. Skills teach the agent how to work in a workspace, plugins bundle skills plus MCP, and the hosted MCP server signs in with OAuth: no API key to paste.
Install the skills
Agent Skills
One command installs the Busabase skills into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and every agent that reads the Agent Skills format — including busabase-ops, the day-to-day operator playbook.

Plugins
Prefer a bundle? The Claude Code and Codex plugins ship the skills and the hosted MCP server in one install, with browser OAuth sign-in.

Hosted MCP
Any MCP-capable agent can connect directly. OAuth sign-in in the browser — nothing to run locally, no API key to paste. Bearer API keys still work for headless automation.

Start a new conversation and ask your agent: “List my Busabase spaces, then read the instructions of the first one.” A connected agent answers with your real spaces — and from then on, every change it makes arrives as a change request you can read, approve or roll back.
