    }
  ],

{
  "limit": 10,
  "status": "failed"
}

Custom Tool Management

These tools let AI agents create and manage custom webhook tools for your chatbot. For example, you can ask Claude to add a tool that searches for products, looks up inventory, or finds nearby events. Custom tools require a Pro plan or higher.

Custom Tool Authentication

When creating a tool, choose an authentication_type based on your endpoint’s security:

Type	Use Case	Headers Sent
`none`	Public APIs, testing	None
`bearer`	APIs with token auth	`Authorization: Bearer <secret_key>`
`hmac`	Production APIs, sensitive data	`X-BubblaV-Signature: sha256=<sig>` + `X-BubblaV-Timestamp: <ms>`

Key details:

A secret_key is auto-generated for bearer and hmac types and returned only once at creation time.
For HMAC, the signature is computed as HMAC-SHA256(secret, "<timestamp>.<compact_json_body>").
Your backend must validate the secret/key on every incoming request.

For detailed validation code examples (Node.js, Python), see Custom Tools → Authentication Methods.

Website & Chatbot Configuration

These tools let an AI agent read and change how your chatbot behaves and looks — the same controls as the dashboard’s Settings and Design pages, plus knowledge sources, forms, and API keys. They are what make agent-driven chatbot management possible.

Setup Guide

BubblaV MCP Server supports these connection methods:

ChatGPT - OAuth 2.0, no API key needed
Claude / Claude Desktop - OAuth 2.0, no API key needed
Google Antigravity - OAuth 2.0, no API key needed
API Key - For OpenClaw and other MCP clients

Option 1: ChatGPT (OAuth 2.0)

Use the same MCP server URL:

https://www.bubblav.com/mcp

If your client expects an API-style path, this also works:

https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp

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 Settings → Integrations (or Connected tools) and add a new MCP server with this URL:

https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp

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

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

Your API key will look like:

bubblav_mcp_a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i9j0k1l2

Step 2: Configure OpenClaw using mcporter

We recommend using mcporter to easily configure OpenClaw with BubblaV.

Install mcporter

# Using pip
pip install mcporter

# Or using pipx
pipx install mcporter

Configure BubblaV in OpenClaw

Create a configuration file bubblav.json:

{
  "name": "bubblav",
  "url": "https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp",
  "headers": {
    "X-API-Key": "bubblav_mcp_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"
  }
}

Then run mcporter:

mcporter add bubblav.json

Manual Configuration

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

name: bubblav
connection:
  url: https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp
  headers:
    X-API-Key: bubblav_mcp_YOUR_API_KEY_HERE

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 full analytics reports
bubblav_add_knowledge - Add new knowledge entries
bubblav_delete_knowledge - Remove outdated entries
bubblav_list_knowledge_sources - List all knowledge sources
bubblav_list_conversations - List and filter conversations
bubblav_get_conversation - Get full conversation details
bubblav_search_conversations - Full-text search across conversations
bubblav_list_leads - List captured leads (emails)
bubblav_list_unanswered_questions - Find knowledge gaps
bubblav_get_most_asked_questions - See trending visitor questions
bubblav_get_content_gaps - Identify content improvement areas
bubblav_get_answerable_questions - See what your bot can answer
bubblav_get_visitor_insights - Get visitor profiles
bubblav_get_hourly_activity - Analyze peak support times
bubblav_sync_ticket_to_knowledge - Turn resolved tickets into knowledge
bubblav_scrape_url - Scrape web pages to markdown
bubblav_list_custom_tools - List custom webhook tools
bubblav_create_custom_tool - Create a new custom tool
bubblav_update_custom_tool - Update an existing custom tool
bubblav_delete_custom_tool - Delete a custom tool
bubblav_toggle_custom_tool - Enable/disable a tool per-website
bubblav_list_tool_logs - Read tool-call logs (status, date range, limit) to debug your custom tools

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:

Please configure BubblaV MCP server integration with these details:
- Server URL: https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp
- Tools available: bubblav_search_knowledge, bubblav_read_report, bubblav_add_knowledge, bubblav_list_conversations, bubblav_get_conversation, bubblav_search_conversations, bubblav_list_leads, bubblav_list_unanswered_questions, bubblav_get_most_asked_questions, bubblav_get_content_gaps, bubblav_get_answerable_questions, bubblav_delete_knowledge, bubblav_sync_ticket_to_knowledge, bubblav_list_knowledge_sources, bubblav_get_visitor_insights, bubblav_get_hourly_activity, bubblav_scrape_url, bubblav_list_custom_tools, bubblav_create_custom_tool, bubblav_update_custom_tool, bubblav_delete_custom_tool, bubblav_toggle_custom_tool, bubblav_list_tool_logs
- Authentication: API key required

Please ask me for an MCP API key, or let me guide you through generating one.

What this does:

Opens BubblaV dashboard in your browser
Generates an API key with proper scopes
Configures OpenClaw with server URL and API key
Tests connection

Example prompt:

Setup BubblaV MCP server so I can access my knowledge base and add content to it from OpenClaw.

Search knowledge base: Ask your AI agent to search your website content
Get analytics: Request a conversation or performance report
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:

Plan	Calls per Month
Free	100
Pro	5,000
Custom	Unlimited

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 Integrations → MCP 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

name: support-agent
tools:
  - bubblav_search_knowledge
  - bubblav_read_report
  - bubblav_get_conversation
  - bubblav_get_visitor_insights
instructions: |

name: reporting-bot
tools:
  - bubblav_read_report
  - bubblav_get_hourly_activity
  - bubblav_get_most_asked_questions
schedule: "0 9 1 * *"  # First day of every month at 9 AM
instructions: |
  Generate a performance report for the past month.
  Include hourly activity breakdowns and top questions.

Knowledge Search API

Create a simple search API for your internal tools:

const response = await fetch('https://www.bubblav.com/api/mcp/call', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': 'bubblav_mcp_...',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    toolId: 'bubblav_search_knowledge',
    arguments: {
      query: 'return policy',
      limit: 5
    }
  })
});

const data = await response.json();

Knowledge Gap Auto-Filler

Build an agent that identifies content gaps and fills them automatically:

  - bubblav_search_knowledge
  - bubblav_add_knowledge
