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.

For this agent

Skills are `SKILL.md` files with YAML frontmatter (`name`, `version`, `description`, `activation` keywords/patterns/tags, `requires`). Directories: `~/.ironclaw/skills/` and `<workspace>/skills/` (trusted), `~/.ironclaw/installed_skills/` (from IronHub; excluded from model-selected `skill_activate`, usable via explicit `$name`). A skill without `activation` criteria never auto-activates, only via `$name` / `/name`. Skills are picked up at next restart. `npx skills add` output must be placed in `~/.ironclaw/skills/` (not verified with Busabase's skills).

Other ways in

Busabase can't be added to this agent as an MCP connector, so there is nothing to wire in. These routes work instead.

At a glance

Vendor: NEAR AI
How it connects: Plugin / Skill · busabase-cli · REST API
Transport: Unknown
Authentication: Unknown
Config file: Skills: ~/.ironclaw/skills/<name>/SKILL.md or <workspace>/skills/<name>/SKILL.md

Run this

IRONCLAW_RELEASE_TAG=ironclaw-vX.Y.Z; curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf "https://github.com/nearai/ironclaw/releases/download/${IRONCLAW_RELEASE_TAG}/ironclaw-installer.sh" | sh; ironclaw onboard

IronClaw can run shell commands once local tools are enabled, so the Skill path applies: set ALLOW_LOCAL_TOOLS=true (otherwise the shell tool is not registered), then paste the prompt above into the web UI or channel.

Prefer a connector?

Not available for Busabase today. IronClaw only reaches MCP servers through installed extensions whose manifest declares the endpoint (ironclaw extension install <name>); the docs describe no way to point it at an arbitrary remote MCP URL with OAuth or a bearer header, and stdio is rejected. Use the Skill path, or busabase-cli / the REST API from IronClaw's shell.

IronClaw MCP docs

Known gotchas

No documented way for a user to add an arbitrary remote MCP server: 'there is no separate MCP server registry'; MCP is only available as packaged extensions. IronClaw is deny-by-default on network: tools 'can only contact allowlisted endpoints' and HTTP is limited to approved hosts, so busabase.com may need to be allowed. Install is by release tag (no `latest` one-liner in the README).
