MCP Server

Overview

The BitGo Developer Portal includes a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables your AI-powered tools to search, read, and interact with BitGo documentation through natural language. Instead of manually browsing for endpoints or guides, you can use the MCP server to ask questions in your preferred AI client and get answers drawn directly from the BitGo documentation. MCP is an open standard that connects AI assistants to external data sources. When you connect an MCP client to the BitGo documentation server, your AI can pull in up-to-date information from the Developer Portal to answer your questions with context relevant to your use case.

What You Can Do

With the BitGo MCP server, you can:

• Search documentation — Find relevant guides, API references, and concepts using natural language queries (for example, "How do I create a wallet?" or "What are the staking endpoints?").
• Read full page content — Pull the complete text of any documentation page into your AI conversation for deeper analysis.
• Get integration help — Ask the AI to help you write code against BitGo APIs using the documentation as context.
• Explore concepts — Ask high-level questions about BitGo features like wallets, policies, webhooks, and staking, and get answers grounded in the official docs.

MCP or Ask AI

Every page on the BitGo documentation site includes an Ask AI button. This is a built-in AI assistant that uses the same underlying documentation to answer your questions directly in the browser — no setup required. Use Ask AI when you want a quick answer while reading the docs. Use the MCP server when you want to integrate BitGo documentation into your development workflow — for example, to get contextual help while writing code in your IDE.

Connect an MCP Client

You can connect any MCP-compatible client to the BitGo documentation server. The server URL is:

https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp

Below are setup instructions for common clients:

# In ChatGPT, go to Settings > Features > Connectors > Add and enter:
https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp

# Run the following command in your terminal:
claude mcp add bitgo-docs --transport http https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp

// Add the following to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "BitGo Docs": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

// Add the following to your Cursor MCP configuration (`.cursor/mcp.json`):
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "BitGo Docs": {
      "url": "https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

// Add the following to your JetBrains MCP configuration file:
{
  "servers": {
    "BitGo Docs": {
      "url": "https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

// Add the following to your VS Code settings (`.vscode/mcp.json`):
{
  "servers": {
    "BitGo Docs": {
      "url": "https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

// Add the following to your Windsurf MCP configuration file:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "BitGo Docs": {
      "serverUrl": "https://dash.readme.com/api/v1/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Example Queries

Once connected, try asking your AI client things like:

• "What wallet types does BitGo support?"
• "Show me how to send a transaction using the BitGo API."
• "What are the required parameters for the generate wallet endpoint?"
• "How do I set up webhooks for deposit notifications?"
• "Explain BitGo's policy system."
