Connect OpenHands to Busabase
Open-source software development agent platform with a local CLI, cloud runtime, shell tools, and configurable MCP servers.
Paste this into OpenHands
Read https://busabase.com/SETUP_SKILL.md and set up Busabase for me. Follow it through to the end, then confirm the connection works.

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
Use the local CLI in a trusted workspace for the Skill path and review filesystem and shell permissions before approval.
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.

Review and approve the setup, complete authentication, then ask OpenHands to verify the active account. Its CLI also supports openhands mcp add with http, sse, or stdio transport.
Known gotchas
OpenHands requires `--auth oauth` when adding an OAuth MCP server, but its docs do not identify dynamic versus static client registration. API-key headers are also supported.
Written from this agent's own documentation. We have not re-run every step on a real machine, so check the linked docs if a command has changed.
Let your agent do the setup
One instruction, reviewed access, and every change it makes afterwards arrives as a proposal you approve.
