Setup
Sign-in is OAuth — no API key copy-paste needed.
- Sign up at butterbase.ai.
- Install the MCP server across every detected client:
The cli walks Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, Codex, Gemini CLI, and the rest, and prints per-client OAuth hints.npx @butterbase/cli mcp install - Trigger OAuth once per client. In Claude Code: restart, then run
/mcp(orclaude mcp login butterbase).

Supported AI assistants
- Claude Code (primary) — installed via the plugin marketplace command above;
npx @butterbase/cli mcp installalso covers it. - Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code / JetBrains / Codex / Gemini CLI / others —
npx @butterbase/cli mcp installwrites the right config for each, then a single/mcp(or the client's equivalent) launches the OAuth flow in your browser. - Any other MCP-capable client can connect to
https://api.butterbase.ai/mcpdirectly — the server advertises OAuth 2.1 via the standard.well-known/oauth-protected-resourcemetadata. Or run the MCP server locally via@butterbase/mcp.
