MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your agent search and read Bolt docs without loading the entire site into context. Docs MCP is separate from a future API MCP that would call Bolt endpoints (create orders, authorize payments). This page covers documentation access only.

​
Hosted docs MCP

Bolt Help exposes a search MCP at: 
https://help.bolt.com/mcp
Discovery document: https://help.bolt.com/.well-known/mcp

​
One-line install

npx add-mcp https://help.bolt.com/mcp

​
Cursor

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bolt-docs": {
      "url": "https://help.bolt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
Open MCP settings (Cmd+Shift+P → “Open MCP settings”) and add the server, or use the contextual menu on any doc page.

API MCP (coming soon)

@boltapp/bolt-mcp for Bolt API operations (orders, transactions, webhooks) is not yet published. Use the OpenAPI spec and docs MCP until it ships.
Planned configuration: 
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bolt": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@boltapp/bolt-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "BOLT_API_KEY": "your-api-key",
        "BOLT_PUBLISHABLE_KEY": "your-publishable-key"
      }
    }
  }
}
