Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP for Bento, an open-source creator business app, letting an assistant work with content, media, routines and store features via OAuth sign-in.

What you can do
  • Read and act on the self-hosted Brain, Media, Routines, Agent and Discover areas, with bounded responses that omit private media URLs and provider payloads
  • Open the visible Content tabs in the app
  • Support creator business features such as Link, Store, Email Marketing, Priority DM, Calendar, Community, Post Scheduler, Social Insights, Auto-DMs and Earn
  • Connect through a hosted remote MCP endpoint that signs in with OAuth on a Bento account
When to use it
Worth adding when you run or use a Bento creator instance and want an assistant to read and act on content, media, routines and discovery inside it, or to open the relevant Content tabs while you work.
Requirements
A remote MCP endpoint reached over streamable HTTP; OAuth sign-in with a Bento account is required. Self-hosting the app itself needs Bun, the Supabase CLI and a Supabase project you control, plus configuration values such as SUPABASE_PROJECT_ID, SUPABASE_DB_URL, WORKSPACE_COOKIE_SIGNING_KEY and MIGRATION_CONFIRMATION. Provider-backed features stay disabled until the owner supplies credentials.
Before you install
Sign-in is OAuth-based and the plugins carry no API keys. OAuth approval, credentials and final payment-provider steps are meant to stay in the visible UI, and live external actions should remain under your control. Self-hosted setup generates a configuration file containing secrets; keep it private and do not commit it. Actions taken through the assistant can change content in your instance.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Bento in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Connect the required credentials. They are stored privately and never shown on public pages.
  3. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/surf.bento%2Fbento/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

Other MCP clients

Add this to your client's mcpServers config. The client completes OAuth sign-in on first connect.

README

Bento Surf

Bento Surf is an AGPL-3.0-only, self-hosted creator application. This release is a local setup foundation: it includes application source, configuration examples, and migrations, but does not claim fresh-database, provider, MCP/WebMCP browser, or deployment proof.

The creator app includes Content Agent, Brain, discovery and routines; multiple workspaces; knowledge and Telegram integrations; social analytics and scheduling, including Instagram Trial Reels; and the latest authenticated dark-mode UI.

Local setup

Install Bun and the Supabase CLI, then create a Supabase project you control.

On a fresh local instance, open /self-hosted-setup to enter the required Supabase and instance keys before creator sign-up. The screen explains each setting and lets you add optional integration keys. It generates a configuration file locally in your browser; put that file at the repository root as .env. The app does not receive or store values typed on that screen. Restart the app after applying the file. On a hosted deployment, set the same variables in your host and rebuild so the VITE_ public settings reach the browser. Keep the downloaded file private. You can revisit the screen later to prepare additional optional integrations, but it does not read your existing secrets back from the server.

sh
bun installcp .env.example .env

Set WORKSPACE_COOKIE_SIGNING_KEY to an independent random value of at least 32 bytes. Set the core Supabase and URL values in .env, including SUPABASE_PROJECT_ID, SUPABASE_DB_URL, and MIGRATION_CONFIRMATION=MIGRATE:<SUPABASE_PROJECT_ID>. Preview and apply migrations only through the guarded workflow:

sh
bun scripts/migrate-supabase.ts --dry-runbun scripts/migrate-supabase.ts

Then run:

sh
bun run devbun run check

Optional integrations remain disabled until you add their configuration. See configuration; treat local checks as local evidence only.

For Cloudflare, see the deployment guide. A compatible coding agent can follow skills/deploy-bento/SKILL.md to configure and verify an instance while keeping provider approvals and live external actions under your control.

See verification status for the exact boundary between local checks and provider/deployment proof.

Product coverage

The public tree contains the complete self-hostable creator and customer product: Link, Store, Email Marketing, Priority DM, Calendar, Community, Post Scheduler, Social Insights, Auto-DMs, Earn, Settings, customer checkout/library flows, remote OAuth MCP, and page-scoped WebMCP. Provider-backed features remain disabled until the instance owner supplies their own credentials and approvals.

On /content, WebMCP exposes the self-hosted Brain, Media, Routines, Agent, and Discover reads and actions with bounded responses that omit private media URLs and provider payloads. It also opens the visible Content tabs. Hosted subscription cancellation and founder retention metrics do not apply to a self-hosted instance. OAuth approval, credentials, and final payment-provider steps stay in the visible UI.

The reviewed private-source snapshot is recorded in docs/upstream-source.json. Corporate marketing and Bento-only founder operations remain outside the public boundary.

Cursor Marketplace / MCP plugin

The Cursor plugin for the hosted Bento remote MCP lives in cursor-plugin/. It signs in with OAuth on a Bento account and does not include API keys. Install it from the Cursor Marketplace, or add the remote MCP URL by hand using that document.

The Grok Build plugin for the same hosted MCP lives in grok-plugin/. It is a marketplace package only. Grok Build loads that directory's MCP config; it does not change how this app runs.

Each plugin sits in its own directory so a marketplace client does not package this app's skills/ tree as plugin components.

Source boundary

This repository includes the application and public creator/product pages. Corporate marketing pages and their related content are intentionally excluded. See the source boundary.
