Bolt MCP server

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.

VS Code

{
  "servers": {
    "bolt-docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://help.bolt.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save as .vscode/mcp.json in your project.

Tools

Tool	Description
`search_docs`	Search titles and content; returns ranked snippets
`get_doc_page`	Full page markdown by path (e.g. `/getting-started/api-keys`)
`list_doc_sections`	Documentation sections from navigation

Use these tools when your agent needs live doc lookup instead of loading llms-full.txt into context.

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"
      }
    }
  }
}
