BubblaV MCP Server

The BubblaV MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server enables you to connect your BubblaV data to MCP-compatible clients like ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, and OpenClaw. This allows your AI agents to search your knowledge base and access analytics reports in real-time.

What Can You Do?

  • Search Knowledge Base: Let your AI agents search your indexed website content
  • Access Analytics: Retrieve conversation and performance reports programmatically
  • Scrape Web Pages: Convert any public URL into markdown with bubblav_scrape_url
  • Build Automations: Create custom workflows that leverage your BubblaV data
  • Real-time Integration: Use Server-Sent Events (SSE) for instant data access

Available Tools

bubblav_search_knowledge

Search your indexed knowledge base for relevant content. Parameters:
  • query (string, required): Your search query
  • limit (number, optional): Maximum results to return (default: 5, max: 20)
Returns:
Example:

bubblav_read_report

Retrieve conversation or performance analytics reports. Parameters:
  • report_type (string, required): Type of report - "conversations" or "performance"
  • date_range (object, optional): Date range for the report
    • start (string): Start date in ISO format (e.g., “2026-03-01”)
    • end (string): End date in ISO format (e.g., “2026-03-18”)
Returns (conversations):
Returns (performance):
Example:

bubblav_add_knowledge

Add a new text knowledge entry to your knowledge base. The content is automatically split into chunks, queued for embedding, and becomes searchable via bubblav_search_knowledge once processed. Parameters:
  • title (string, required): Title for this knowledge entry
  • content (string, required): Full text content to index (plain text or Markdown)
Returns:
Example:
Note: Subject to plan page limits. If your plan limit is reached, you’ll receive a RATE_LIMITED error.

bubblav_scrape_url

Scrape a public web page URL and return markdown content optimized for LLM context. Parameters:
  • url (string, required): The page URL to scrape
Returns:
Example:

Setup Guide

BubblaV MCP Server supports these connection methods:
  1. ChatGPT - OAuth 2.0, no API key needed
  2. Claude / Claude Desktop - OAuth 2.0, no API key needed
  3. API Key - For OpenClaw and other MCP clients

Option 1: ChatGPT (OAuth 2.0)

Use the same MCP server URL:
If your client expects an API-style path, this also works:
ChatGPT will start OAuth automatically. Sign in to BubblaV and select the website you want to connect.

Option 2: Claude (OAuth 2.0)

No API key needed. Claude handles authentication automatically via OAuth — just add the server URL.

Step 1: Add the BubblaV connector

In Claude (web or desktop), open SettingsIntegrations (or Connected tools) and add a new MCP server with this URL:

Step 2: Authorize

Claude will open a BubblaV login page. Sign in and select which website to connect. That’s it — no config files to edit, no API keys to copy.

Option 3: OpenClaw (API Key)

Step 1: Generate an MCP API Key

  1. Log in to your BubblaV dashboard at https://www.bubblav.com
  2. Navigate to your Website Settings page
  3. Click the API Keys tab
  4. Click Generate New Key
  5. Enter a name (e.g., “OpenClaw”) and select → MCP scopes
  6. Click Generate and copy the key immediately — it won’t be shown again
Your API key will look like:

Step 2: Configure OpenClaw using mcporter

We recommend using mcporter to easily configure OpenClaw with BubblaV.

Install mcporter

Configure BubblaV in OpenClaw

Create a configuration file bubblav.json:
Then run mcporter:

Manual Configuration

If you prefer manual configuration, add this to your OpenClaw config:

Step 3: Test the Connection

Once connected, your OpenClaw agent will have access to:
  • bubblav_search_knowledge - Search your knowledge base
  • bubblav_read_report - Access analytics reports
  • bubblav_add_knowledge - Add new knowledge entries to your knowledge base
You can test by asking your agent to search for information or add new content to your knowledge base.

Option 4: OpenClaw (Automatic Setup)

Setup Everything Automatically

Tell OpenClaw to install and configure everything for BubblaV automatically. Command:
What this does:
  1. Opens BubblaV dashboard in your browser
  2. Generates an API key with proper scopes
  3. Configures OpenClaw with server URL and API key
  4. Tests connection
Example prompt:
  1. Search knowledge base: Ask your AI agent to search your website content
  2. Get analytics: Request a conversation or performance report
  3. Add knowledge: Test adding a new knowledge entry with title and content

Rate Limits

MCP API calls are tracked separately from your AI message limits. Each subscription plan includes a monthly MCP call allowance: How it works:
  • Rolling 30-day window (resets every month from your first call)
  • When exceeded, you’ll receive a 429 status with a Retry-After header
  • Check your usage in the dashboard under IntegrationsMCP Settings

Security

Authentication Methods

OAuth 2.0 (Claude):
  • Claude handles the full OAuth flow — you only enter the server URL
  • Uses PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) for enhanced security
  • Tokens expire after 1 hour (access) or 30 days (refresh)
  • No credentials to store or rotate
API Key (OpenClaw and other clients):
  • Simple authentication via X-API-Key header
  • Keys can be rotated and revoked
  • Supports scoped permissions

API Key & Token Management

  • Keep your API key secret - Treat it like a password
  • Rotate keys regularly - Generate new keys and revoke old ones
  • Use scopes - Only grant the permissions you need
  • Monitor usage - Review audit logs regularly

Scopes

Available scopes for MCP API keys and OAuth tokens:
  • mcp:read - Read-only access to your website data
  • mcp:tools:execute - Execute MCP tools and scrape URLs via API

Audit Logging

All MCP tool calls are logged and available in your dashboard:
  • Tool name and arguments
  • Success/failure status
  • API key or OAuth token used
  • Timestamp
View logs at IntegrationsMCP SettingsAudit Logs

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

Problem: “Authentication failed” error Solutions:
  • Verify your API key is correct
  • Check that the key hasn’t been revoked
  • Ensure the key has the correct scopes
  • Confirm your account is active
Problem: “Rate limit exceeded” error Solutions:
  • Check your usage in the dashboard
  • Wait for the monthly window to reset (check Retry-After header)
  • Consider upgrading your plan for higher limits

Tool Errors

Problem: “Unknown tool” error Solutions:
  • Verify you’re using the correct tool names
  • Check that your website has indexed content (for knowledge search)
  • Ensure your API key has mcp:tools:execute scope
Problem: “Invalid argument” error Solutions:
  • Check that all required parameters are provided
  • Verify parameter types match the schema
  • Ensure dates are in ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD)

Knowledge Base Not Available

Problem: bubblav_search_knowledge tool not available Solutions:
  • Ensure your website has been crawled and content indexed
  • Check crawl status in the dashboard under Knowledge Base
  • Trigger a new crawl if needed
