Give your agent this one instruction

You end up with more than a connector: the busabase skill carries the whole approval-first 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.

For this agent

Copilot must be in **Agent** mode to run the setup commands; Ask/Edit mode cannot.

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.

Run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, or add Busabase to .vscode/mcp.json for this workspace (use MCP: Open User Configuration to make it global):

{
  "servers": {
    "busabase": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://busabase.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Switch Copilot Chat to Agent mode, complete OAuth in the browser, and ask it to call auth_verify.

Known gotchas

The top-level key is `servers` (not `mcpServers`) and the remote transport is `"type": "http"`. A workspace `.vscode/mcp.json` is shared through source control — keep credentials out of it and rely on OAuth.
