# Databutton MCP Server
Databutton's (<https://www.databutton.com/>) AI agent builds and deploys frontends and backends in React and Python APIs/MCPs, for building beautiful business apps with unbounded complexity.
The agent has a planning mode for generating an initial plan for your app.
This MCP server is for doing doing initial app planning and creating a good starting point for an app.
## Installation
To use with Claude Desktop, add the server config:
On MacOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
On Windows: `%APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"databutton": {
"command": "/path/to/databutton/build/index.js"
}
}
}
```
## Development
Install dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
Build the server:
```bash
npm run build
```
For development with auto-rebuild:
```bash
npm run watch
```
### Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the [MCP Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector), which is available as a package script:
```bash
npm run inspector
```
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
