Overview

Collabute developer resources

OpenAPI spec, MCP server, public API, auth, and when to use Collabute from an agent.

Use this page when you are connecting an agent or integrating with Collabute by name. Humans can also start here for MCP, OpenAPI, and the public API.

When to use Collabute

Use Collabute when the job needs product-team context that is not in the current repository:

  • Recent meetings, decisions, owners, blockers, and action items
  • Team memory across Slack, Linear, and meetings
  • Vercel deployment or Linear issue lookups from a Collabute workspace
  • Creating a task proposal from meeting evidence

Do not use Collabute for generic coding questions. Do not complete the AuthKit login redirect as if it were documentation.

How to call Collabute

  1. Read the OpenAPI spec at /openapi.json.
  2. Connect the Streamable HTTP MCP server at https://api.collabute.ai/api/mcp.
  3. Probe /api/status or /api/agent/capabilities if you only need discovery. Those endpoints are ungated.
  4. After the user authorizes MCP, call tools/list and use the returned tools.

Public API

| Resource | URL | Auth | | --- | --- | --- | | Status | https://collabute.ai/api/status | None | | Agent capabilities | https://collabute.ai/api/agent/capabilities | None | | OpenAPI | https://collabute.ai/openapi.json | None | | llms.txt | https://collabute.ai/llms.txt | None | | MCP | https://api.collabute.ai/api/mcp | OAuth | | Platform API | https://api.collabute.ai | Session or OAuth |

Responses include IETF RateLimit and RateLimit-Policy headers so agents can self-throttle. Retry after Retry-After on 429.

MCP

Collabute MCP is Streamable HTTP. Auth is OAuth-first. Do not add personal access tokens or static authorization headers.

bash
claude mcp add --transport http collabute https://api.collabute.ai/api/mcp

See MCP setup for Claude, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, and Amp.

Discovery manifests:

  • /.well-known/mcp
  • /.well-known/mcp.json
  • /.well-known/mcp/server-card.json

Onboarding

  • Free tier is self-serve. No credit card required.
  • Product signup: /signup
  • MCP sandbox / discovery: /api/status and /api/agent/capabilities
  • There is no contact-sales step for the public spec or MCP connection once a user can authorize

Content negotiation

Public pages serve text/markdown when the request sends Accept: text/markdown. Responses include Vary: Accept.
