Remote MCP

Today, we're excited to announce a major upgrade to the Bucket MCP: a fully hosted remote service. So you no longer need to run a local MCP server through the CLI. The server config is now:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Bucket": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote@latest",
        "https://app.bucket.co/api/mcp?appId=<YOUR APP ID>"
      ]
    }
  }
}

About Bucket MCP

Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets an LLM interact with external data, in this case the Bucket API. With Bucket MCP you can flag features directly from the chat window in your code editor.

To create a new flag, for example, ask the MCP to do it for you: “flag feature X with bucket.”

Bucket MCP will then create a feature key on bucket.co with a relevant name and give you IDE's LLM context to flag the feature in the codebase. You can edit feature access rules, too, with something like “give Acme access to feature X.”

What's New

With our latest update, the remote Bucket MCP brings several key improvements:

• Instant setup: No more local server setup required—just connect and start flagging.
• HTTP streaming: Enhanced real-time communication using the latest streaming tech.
• Secure OAuth: A simple and secure authentication flow.
• Auto updates: The MCP now gets automatic updates and improvements without local maintenance.

For existing CLI users: The mcp command has been repurposed to help you set up the remote connection. It now guides you through the configuration for your chosen editor, be it Cursor, Visual Studio Code, Claude Desktop, or Windsurf, rather than running a local server.
