Busabase for Kiro

Connect Kiro to Busabase

AWS's agentic coding tool: the Kiro IDE turns prompts into specs and working code, and the Kiro CLI, formerly the Amazon Q Developer CLI, brings the same agent to the terminal.

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

Kiro is spec-driven: it may want to write a spec before executing, so let it read the setup document first, then approve the commands it proposes. The skills installer targets Kiro as `kiro-cli` and writes to `~/.kiro/skills`, which both the Kiro IDE and the Kiro CLI read. Custom agents only load skills listed in their `resources` with `skill://`.

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.

At a glance

Vendor: AWS
How it connects: Plugin / Skill · MCP + OAuth
Transport: Streamable HTTP
Authentication: OAuth (dynamic registration)
Config file: .kiro/settings/mcp.json (user: ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json)

Run this

curl -fsSL https://cli.kiro.dev/install | bash      # Kiro CLI, macOS/Linux
irm 'https://cli.kiro.dev/install.ps1' | iex       # Kiro CLI, Windows 11
# Kiro IDE: download from https://kiro.dev

Kiro — the IDE or the Kiro CLI — can fetch a URL and run commands, so the Skill path applies: paste the prompt above.

Prefer a connector?

Add Busabase to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json (user) or .kiro/settings/mcp.json (workspace, which wins when both define the same server):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "busabase": {
      "url": "https://busabase.com/api/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Kiro registers its own OAuth client (dynamic client registration) and opens the sign-in page in your browser.

Kiro CLI: kiro-cli mcp add only takes a --command for local servers, so edit the JSON file above or use kiro-cli mcp import --file <file>. In a kiro-cli chat session, open /mcp and press Enter on busabase to start sign-in; /mcp auth busabase retries it.

Coming from the Amazon Q Developer CLI? Installing Kiro CLI copies ~/.aws/amazonq/mcp.json to ~/.kiro/settings/mcp.json once, so an existing busabase entry carries over. Anything added to the old file afterwards is not picked up.

Kiro MCP configuration

Known gotchas

`kiro-cli mcp add` has no URL option, so remote servers go in the JSON file. Workspace `.kiro/settings/mcp.json` overrides the user file, so check both if a stale server keeps loading. Kiro's main MCP page only demonstrates stdio servers; the remote `url` shape is on the Configuration page.
