Push notification scheduled The basics ## What is GoodBarber MCP? GoodBarber MCP is a server that lets an AI assistant operate your app directly. It speaks the Model Context Protocol, the open standard introduced in 2024, so an assistant like Claude or ChatGPT can work with your app the way you do from the back office, just by conversation. It covers the operational side of your app: content, push notifications, products, orders, and members. It does not touch your design or layout, which stays in your hands in the GoodBarber builder. MCP is a faster way in, not a replacement for the dashboard you know.

Sign in with the Public API key from your back office. 2 ### Try one real task Ask the agent to do something small, like drafting a push or fixing a typo in an article, then review and approve the result. 3 ### Grow into workflows Move on to scheduled content, multi-step automations, or managing several apps at once. The guides above take you the rest of the way. The fastest route: one command in Claude Code, then ask your assistant what you need. `claude mcp add goodbarber --transport http https://mcp.goodbarber.dev/mcp/sse` [All clients, on the developers page](https://www.goodbarber.com/developers/) [Open the MCP server page](https://www.goodbarber.com/mcp/) ## Frequently asked questions **What can I do with GoodBarber MCP that I couldn't before?** Run your app by conversation instead of clicking through the dashboard. An assistant can draft and publish content, prepare push notifications, update your products and orders, create promo codes, and look up members, all from a prompt, with you reviewing each action. **Do I need to know how to code?** No. The most common entry path is connecting an assistant you already use, like ChatGPT, and giving it plain-language instructions. Coding lets you build more advanced automations, but it is not required. **Which AI assistants work with GoodBarber MCP?** Any MCP-compatible client, because MCP is an open standard. That includes Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor, and automation tools like n8n. GoodBarber is listed in the Claude connectors directory and in the ChatGPT plugin directory. **Is GoodBarber MCP available on all plans?** The MCP server is part of the GoodBarber platform, there is no separate MCP subscription. All you need is a GoodBarber app and an MCP-compatible assistant. **How is this different from the AI Extension Builder?** The AI Extension Builder uses AI to generate a new section inside your app at build time, it helps you create the app. MCP lets an assistant operate your live app by conversation, after it is built. One builds; the other runs. ## Put an AI assistant to work on your app Connect GoodBarber MCP to the assistant you already use.
