Busabase

MCP connector

Set it up

Hosted chat has no shell and no file system, so a connector is the way in.

Add the server

Point your chat client at the Busabase MCP endpoint.

Sign in

Complete OAuth in the browser — no client id or secret to create.

Pick the smallest permission

changeRequest lets the agent propose but never merge.

Verify

Ask the agent to call auth_verify before it does any work.

Step by step

This host has no shell, so a connector is the only way in.

At a glance

Vendor: The Interaction Company of California (Poke)
How it connects: MCP + OAuth · MCP + API key · busabase-cli
Transport: Unknown
Authentication: OAuth (dynamic registration)
Config file: poke.com/integrations/new (web) or `npx poke@latest mcp add`

Run this

npx poke@latest mcp add https://busabase.com/api/mcp -n "Busabase"

Open poke.com/integrations/new (or run the CLI command below).
Enter a Name (for example Busabase) and the MCP Server URL https://busabase.com/api/mcp. Leave API Key empty: Busabase signs in with OAuth and Poke's docs say servers with Dynamic Client Registration "work automatically".
Click Create Integration, then approve the Busabase sign-in when Poke sends you there. Poke "will connect and discover available tools".
Text Poke: "call auth_verify on Busabase" to confirm the connection.

CLI alternative: npx poke@latest mcp add https://busabase.com/api/mcp -n "Busabase".

No OAuth available? Create an API key in Busabase Settings → API Keys (smallest permission, finite expiry) and add -k "<key>" (or fill the API Key field). Poke sends it as Authorization: Bearer <key>.

Poke MCP Servers documentation

Known gotchas

Poke's docs do not list supported MCP transports (examples use both `/sse` and `/mcp` URLs), do not state the OAuth scopes it requests, and do not mention plan restrictions for custom integrations. Busabase grants scope `mcp` to clients asking only generic scopes. Poke's docs do not mention any way to run shell commands or fetch a setup file, so the Skill path is not offered. Free plan is no-card; Pro $19/mo, Ultra $199/mo.
