Developer resources
OpenAPI spec, MCP server, public API, auth, and when to use Collabute from an agent.
Use this page when you are connecting an agent or integrating with Collabute by name. Humans can also start here for MCP, OpenAPI, and the public API.
Do not scrape the dashboard. Do not complete the AuthKit login redirect as if it were documentation.
When to use Collabute
Use Collabute when the job needs product-team context that is not in the current repository:
- Recent meetings, decisions, owners, blockers, and action items
- Team memory across Slack, Linear, and meetings
- Vercel deployment or Linear issue lookups from a Collabute workspace
- Creating a task proposal from meeting evidence
Do not use Collabute for generic coding questions.
How to call Collabute
Read the OpenAPI spec
Start at https://collabute.ai/openapi.json. This site also renders the spec in the API Reference tab.
Connect MCP
Connect the Streamable HTTP MCP server at https://api.collabute.ai/api/mcp.
Probe ungated discovery
Call /api/status or /api/agent/capabilities if you only need discovery. Those endpoints are ungated.
List tools after OAuth
After the user authorizes MCP, call tools/list and use the returned tools.
