  "api_token": "your-api-token-here",
  "mode": "read-only",
  "environment": "development",

Claude Desktop / Claude Code Integration

Add to your Claude configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "bubble": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/bubble-mcp/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "BUBBLE_APP_URL": "https://your-app.bubbleapps.io",
        "BUBBLE_API_TOKEN": "your-api-token-here",
        "BUBBLE_MODE": "read-only",
        "BUBBLE_ENVIRONMENT": "development"
      }
    }
  }

Security Model

Three-layer defence in depth:

Layer

What it does

Server Mode Gate

Filters tools by mode at startup (read-only < read-write < admin)

MCP Permissions

Claude prompts user approval before each tool invocation

Bubble Privacy Rules

Bubble.io enforces API-level access via the token's permissions

Input validation: All user-supplied identifiers (dataType, id, sort_field, workflow_name) are validated against safe character patterns before reaching API URLs. File paths (TDD tools) are sandboxed to the project directory.

Token safety: The API token is never exposed in responses or error messages. The bubble_get_environment tool explicitly excludes it.
