Open Settings → Connectors → Advanced → Developer mode, add https://busabase.com/api/mcp as a custom connector, and complete OAuth in the browser. Write-capable custom connectors may be limited to Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces; on a plan without them the connector is read-only, so the agent can inspect the workspace but cannot open a Change Request.
Known gotchas
Write-capable custom connectors may be limited to Business, Enterprise, and Edu workspaces; on other plans the connector is read-only, so the agent can inspect the workspace but cannot open a Change Request. It also cannot reach Busabase Desktop (no way to resolve localhost:15419).
