Overview

The Featurebase MCP server lets AI tools and assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor securely connect to your Featurebase workspace.

Once connected, AI agents can read, create, and update data across Featurebase - no custom integration work required.

What is Featurebase MCP?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI tools to external systems, so any MCP-compatible client can talk to Featurebase out of the box.

Featurebase MCP uses our public API to give AI tools a structured set of actions you can run through conversation:

• Easy setup - Connect with OAuth in a few clicks and start managing your Workspace through chat

• Works with MCP-compatible clients - Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex, and other clients that support remote MCP servers

• Broad Workspace coverage - Work with feedback, support Conversations, customer data, Updates, Help Center content, Reports, Surveys, and webhooks

• Secure by design - AI tools authenticate as a Featurebase teammate and inherit that teammate's existing permissions

One connection with separate permissions

Featurebase MCP gives your AI tool read-only and write/delete tools through one secure connection. Your AI client can present these tools separately, so you can allow a tool, require confirmation before it runs, or turn it off.

• Read-only tools - Search, list, and retrieve Featurebase data without changing it

• Write/delete tools - Create, update, publish, reply to, or delete Featurebase data

Your Featurebase Workspace permissions still apply. The connected AI tool only receives tools and data that the authenticated teammate can access.

Connect Featurebase with your AI tool:

1. Go to Featurebase Settings → MCP

2. Choose your AI tool and follow its install instructions

3. Complete the Featurebase OAuth flow to connect your Workspace
