MCP Server Setup

The Buska MCP (Model Context Protocol) server lets AI assistants like Claude access your Buska data directly. It exposes search, scoring, and signal retrieval as tools that AI agents can call.

Looking for the full overview, use cases, and architecture?

Option A: Remote HTTP MCP (recommended)

For Claude.ai web, ChatGPT Apps, and any MCP client supporting HTTP Streamable transport. OAuth handled automatically, paste a single URL:

text
https://api.buska.io/mcp

OAuth discovery at /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server. PKCE S256 mandatory.

Option B: Local stdio (Claude Desktop, Cursor)

Add the following to your MCP client configuration file (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop):

json
{
      "mcpServers": {
        "buska": {
          "command": "npx",
          "args": ["-y", "buska-mcp-server"],
          "env": {
            "BUSKA_API_KEY": "your-api-key"
          }
        }
      }
    }

Requirements

  • Node.js 18 or later
  • A valid Buska API key (Growth or Scale plan)
  • An MCP-compatible AI client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or similar)

Testing the connection

After adding the configuration, restart your AI client. You should see "buska" listed as an available MCP server. Try asking: "Search Twitter for people looking for a CRM tool."
