What is Bilt MCP Server?

Bilt's Model Context Protocol (MCP) server gives AI agents 8 powerful tools to autonomously create, build, and deploy production-ready mobile applications through natural language.

Key Features

🤖 Agent-First Design - Built specifically for AI autonomy
🚀 Zero Setup - Remote SSE server, no local installation
🏗️ Complete Lifecycle - From project creation to production deployment
⚡ Real-Time Updates - SSE transport for live progress tracking
🔒 Secure - Bearer token authentication, rate limiting
📱 Mobile Focus - Optimized for mobile app development

Quick Start

1. Get API Token

2. Configure Your MCP Client

<details> <summary><b>Claude Desktop</b></summary>

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS):

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bilt": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "sse",
        "url": "https://mcp.bilt.me/mcp/sse",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer bilt_live_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop.

</details> <details> <summary><b>OpenClaw</b></summary>

Edit ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bilt": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "sse",
        "url": "https://mcp.bilt.me/mcp/sse",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer bilt_live_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Restart: openclaw gateway restart

</details> <details> <summary><b>Cursor IDE</b></summary>

Create .cursor/mcp_config.json in your project:

json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bilt": {
      "transport": {
        "type": "sse",
        "url": "https://mcp.bilt.me/mcp/sse",
        "headers": {
          "Authorization": "Bearer bilt_live_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Reload Cursor window: Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P → "Reload Window"

</details>

3. Test It

Ask your AI agent:

code

"Use Bilt to create a todo app with authentication"

Watch it autonomously create, build, and deploy a production app! 🎉

Available Tools

The Bilt MCP server provides 8 tools for complete application lifecycle management:

Tool	Purpose
`bilt_list_projects`	List all projects for authenticated user
`bilt_get_project`	Get detailed project information
`bilt_create_project`	Create a new project
`bilt_get_session`	Get current workflow session status
`bilt_send_message`	Execute build/deploy instructions
`bilt_resume_workflow`	Resume paused workflows
`bilt_cancel_workflow`	Cancel running workflows
`bilt_get_messages`	Retrieve workflow message history

📖 Full API Reference

Example Workflow

code

Agent: bilt_create_project("todo-app")
→ Returns: { id: "proj_abc123" }

Agent: bilt_get_session()
→ Returns: { session_id: "sess_xyz789" }

Agent: bilt_send_message(
  session_id: "sess_xyz789",
  message: "Create a todo list with add, delete, and complete features"
)
→ Builds app...

Agent: bilt_send_message(
  session_id: "sess_xyz789",
  message: "Deploy to production"
)
→ Returns: { url: "https://todo-app-abc123.bilt.app" }
