MCP server

Botdoor runs a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP, JSON responses):

https://botdoor.co/api/mcp

Send your key as a header. Most clients take a config like this:

{
"mcpServers": {
"botdoor": {
"url": "https://botdoor.co/api/mcp",
"headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer bd_••••" }
}
}
}

You then get the twelve tools: accounts, connect, media, posts and approvals.

With no Authorization header (or an empty Bearer, such as an unset ${env:BOTDOOR_API_KEY}) the server offers one tool, signup. It creates a Free workspace for your human and returns a key. Reconnect with that key to get the other tools. Same rules as POST /signup.

  • Server card: /api/mcp/server-card (also at /.well-known/mcp-server-card and /.well-known/mcp), served as application/mcp-server-card+json.
  • AI Catalog: /.well-known/ai-catalog.json lists the server card.
  • /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json has the older card format with the full tool list, for directory scanners.
  • MCP Registry name: co.botdoor/botdoor.
  • Every tool declares readOnlyHint, destructiveHint, idempotentHint and openWorldHint. Destructive means it discards or overwrites something (reject_post, cancel_post, reschedule_post); open world means it can reach a social network or send email.
  • Protocol versions: 2025-11-25, 2025-06-18, 2025-03-26, 2024-11-05.
  • POST JSON-RPC to the URL. GET returns 405; there is no SSE stream.
  • Requests are limited to 10 MB, so upload_media takes files up to 10 MB. Use POST /media for bigger ones.
  • Tool errors come back as a tool result with isError: true and the same error envelope as REST.

Common questions

Which MCP clients work?
Any client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers with custom headers, such as Claude, Cursor and most agent frameworks.
Does the MCP server support OAuth?
Not yet. Use an API key in the Authorization header.
Can an MCP agent approve its own posts?
No. approve_post is refused for keys. A signed-in person approves in the app.
Why is upload_media limited to 10 MB?
MCP requests carry the file as base64 inside JSON. For bigger files use the REST upload, which takes 100 MB.
