[Community Project] - MCP Server for Bubble Apps - Available Now

Showcase
1

Hi Bubble community!

I want to share a completed project that some of you might find useful. It’s an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI assistants like Claude to interact with Bubble applications through the official Data API.

What this does

This tool allows you to have natural language conversations with AI about your Bubble app’s data structure and perform basic operations. It’s particularly useful for:

  • App analysis: Quickly understanding data relationships in complex apps
  • Documentation: Auto-generating data structure summaries
  • Migration planning: When moving data to external databases
  • Quick queries: Checking data without opening the editor

Important notes

  • Uses official Bubble Data API only - no unofficial methods
  • Respects all Bubble privacy rules and API rate limits
  • Read-only mode recommended for safety
  • Requires Data API subscription (Personal plan or higher)
  • This is community software - please test thoroughly before production use

Example interactions

"List all data types in this app"
"Show me the fields in the User data type"
"How many records are in the Project table?"
"What workflows are available?"

Technical requirements

  • Node.js installed locally
  • Bubble app with Data API enabled
  • Claude Desktop (free tier works)
  • API token from your Bubble app

Why I built this

As an agency who frequently reviews Bubble apps for clients, we were spending a lot of time manually exploring data structures. This tool solves that problem by letting us ask questions in plain English instead of clicking through tabs. It’s been working well in our workflows and we thought others might benefit from it.

Code availability

The project is open source and available now on GitHub. I’ve made it public so the community can:

  • Review the code for security
  • Suggest improvements
  • Contribute features
  • Fork for their own needs

Limitations & considerations

  • This is community-developed software - please test thoroughly
  • Always backup your data before using write operations
  • API rate limits apply (standard Bubble limits)
  • Only works with data accessible via Data API
  • Does not interact with Bubble’s visual editor or design elements

Community feedback wanted

I’m sharing this to get feedback from the community:

  1. Is this useful for your workflow?
  2. Any concerns about security or best practices?
  3. What features would make this more valuable?
  4. Any suggestions for improvement?

Safety first

Please note:

  • Start with read-only mode when testing
  • Review API permissions carefully in your Bubble app
  • This tool can modify data if configured for write access
  • Test on development apps first

Again, this is an unofficial community tool. I’m sharing it because it’s been helpful in my workflow and I think it might help fellow Bubblers too. Please use your own judgment about whether it fits your needs and security requirements.

Happy to answer questions about setup or usage!

Moderators: If this post violates any forum guidelines, please let me know and I’ll be happy to modify or remove it.

Is there any way you could work on having the MCP actually edit a given app’s interface/UI. I think that would be extremely valuable if working successfully as one of the time consuming aspects of Bubble IO is that building an interface can take a long time opposed to other Vibe coding apps such as Lovable and Bolt that take natural language prompts and create the interface. Would be a cool addition to what you’ve already created!

You’re absolutely right that UI/interface editing would be incredibly valuable. Currently, this tool is limited to what Bubble’s existing APIs support, which focuses on data operations rather than visual interface elements.

Hopefully we’ll hear more from the Bubble team about potential progress on official API capabilities for interface manipulation in the future! :crossed_fingers:

For now, I’m working within the current API framework, but I’d definitely be excited to expand into UI features if/when those capabilities become available.

This is awesome. Deserve Community Champion Award on this one. It is not just free, but available to fork for our own use. This is great for agencies as they can have their own internal tool to promote themselves to assist their potential and existing clients with a quick scan tool. :clap:

Bubble just announced a second way to import to Bubble from Figma. I have not tried it out, but apparently it is great and was a better way to get that functionality than bubble fixing the original figma import feature.

Are there internal discussions on this being a real possibility? If so, that would undermine the whole Bubble value proposition of the ‘editor’ as giving away access to interface manipulation is just one tiny step toward the entire editor being an API that we can all then just build our own editor interfaces.

Awesome, completely understand and appreciate providing this tool as it’s already extremely valuable as it is. I agree, hopefully Bubble decides to allow further API capabilities in the future as vibe coding begins to overtake traditional editing.

I understand your point regarding the value being taken away from Bubble as an ‘editor’ but tools such as Bolt and Lovable are miles ahead of Bubble currently simply because natural language prompt engineering will always appeal more to users than traditional editing. I personally love the way Bubble is set up, having access to data types and workflows, etc. but adding AI UI Editing could go a long way for the platform’s growth as we continue in the direction of vibe coding.
