| 3 | Claude Code plugin for [Butterbase](https://butterbase.ai) — the AI-Native Backend-as-a-Service. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | This plugin gives Claude deep knowledge of Butterbase's 42+ MCP tools, guides you through common workflows, and auto-configures the MCP server connection. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | ## Installation |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ```bash |
| 10 | claude plugin add @butterbase/skills |
| 11 | ``` |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ## Setup |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Sign-in is OAuth — no API key copy-paste needed. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | 1. **Sign up** at [butterbase.ai](https://butterbase.ai). |
| 18 | |
| 19 | 2. **Install the MCP server across every detected client** with one command: |
| 20 | ```bash |
| 21 | npx @butterbase/cli mcp install |
| 22 | ``` |
| 23 | This walks Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, JetBrains, Codex, Gemini CLI, and the rest, and prints per-client OAuth follow-up hints. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | 3. **Trigger OAuth once per client.** In Claude Code: restart, then run `/mcp` (or `claude mcp login butterbase`). The cli's output covers every other client. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The plugin auto-loads its skills and CLAUDE.md context as soon as Claude Code starts. All 42+ tools available immediately after consent. |
