About Buildcord
Buildcord is a visual Discord bot builder whose remote MCP server lets AI apps create and edit bot flows and designs in a draft. It is for people building bots through conversational requests; changes are reviewed and deployed in the Buildcord builder.

MCP support
The remote MCP server exposes tools to inspect and modify Buildcord bots, flows, designs, and data. Changes remain in the draft; deployment and actions on Discord itself are not supported.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEBuildcord MCP server
Build and change Discord bots from ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor or any AI app that supports remote MCP servers.
Buildcord is a visual builder for Discord bots. You make a bot out of flows: slash commands, replies to things that happen in a server, schedules, buttons and forms, each made of steps like sending a message, giving a role or saving data.
This MCP server lets an AI app do the building for you. Describe what the bot should do, and the app creates the flows, embeds, modals and data in your bot's draft. You check the result in the builder and deploy when you're happy.
https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp
It's a remote server with OAuth sign-in, so there's nothing to install and no API key to copy. The first time an app connects, you sign in to Buildcord and choose what it can access.
Connect
Claude
In Claude, open Settings > Connectors, select Add custom connector and paste the address above. Then select Connect and sign in.
Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http buildcord https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp
Then run /mcp in Claude Code and sign in.
Or install the plugin, which adds the server and skills that teach Claude how to build with it:
/plugin marketplace add buildcord-dev/mcp
/plugin install buildcord@buildcord
ChatGPT
Open Settings > Apps > Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode. Select Create app, paste the address above and choose OAuth.
Cursor
Use the Add to Cursor button above, or add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"buildcord": { "url": "https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp" }
}
}
VS Code
Use the Install in VS Code button above, or add this to .vscode/mcp.json:
{
"servers": {
"buildcord": { "type": "http", "url": "https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp" }
}
}
Codex
codex mcp add buildcord --url https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp
Windsurf
Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"buildcord": { "serverUrl": "https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp" }
}
}
Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http buildcord https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp
Devin, Manus and other apps
Add a remote MCP server with the address https://api.buildcord.dev/mcp and OAuth sign-in. In Devin, that's Settings > MCP Marketplace > Add your own. In Manus, it's Connectors > Add MCP by URL.
What you can ask for
- "Make my bot a /poll command that posts a question with up to four buttons and counts the votes."
- "Welcome new members with an embed that greets them by name."
- "Add a /ticket command that opens a private thread for the person who ran it."
- "Show me my bot's flows and what's wrong with them, then fix them."

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
