## What it does

This plugin links Claude Code to the official remote Lovable MCP server at `https://mcp.lovable.dev` using Streamable HTTP. Authentication runs through OAuth 2.1 metadata discovery, fetching the bearer token without manual token pasting.

The toolset lets you inspect file trees, review commit diffs, instruct the Lovable AI agent, and deploy applications to live URLs. It also supports cloud Postgres management, letting you enable the database and run raw SQL queries directly from your session.

Keep in mind that `create_project` and `send_message` spend Lovable build credits. Most actions require a valid `workspace_id`, so fetching workspaces first is mandatory.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Plugin marketplace**
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin install lovable@claude-plugins-official
```
In the agent chat (not a shell):
```text
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-official
```

## When to use it
- create and deploy Lovable web apps from Claude Code
- run raw SQL queries against an attached Postgres database
- inspect file trees and review git diffs between agent edits
- manage third-party integrations like Linear, Slack, and Notion

## Example prompts
- List all my Lovable workspaces
- Create a new project in my workspace and set up authentication
- Run a SQL query to check table schemas in the attached database

# Lovable MCP

The official [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server for [Lovable](https://lovable.dev), an AI-powered full-stack app builder.

Connect Claude, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible clients to Lovable so they can create, edit, deploy, and manage Lovable projects through natural language.


## Endpoint

```
https://mcp.lovable.dev
```

Transport: [Streamable HTTP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/specification/2025-06-18/basic/transports#streamable-http).

## Authentication

**OAuth 2.1.** MCP clients discover the authorization server via RFC 9728 metadata at `https://mcp.lovable.dev/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource` and obtain a bearer token automatically. The token is passed as `Authorization: Bearer <token>`.

## Install

Claude, Claude Code, and ChatGPT need only the URL. Any other client must also pass Lovable's public OAuth client ID (`6d465f583e1e4ce5801b1616f735670c`), shown below.

### Claude Code

```sh
claude mcp add --transport http lovable https://mcp.lovable.dev
```

### Claude Desktop

Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lovable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.lovable.dev"
    }
  }
}
```

### ChatGPT

Add the URL directly — no client ID needed:

```
https://mcp.lovable.dev
```

### Cursor / Windsurf

Add to your client's MCP config (`~/.cursor/mcp.json`, or Windsurf's `mcp_config.json`):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lovable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.lovable.dev",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "6d465f583e1e4ce5801b1616f735670c"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### VS Code

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "lovable": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.lovable.dev",
      "auth": {
        "CLIENT_ID": "6d465f583e1e4ce5801b1616f735670c"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Codex CLI

```sh
codex mcp add lovable --url https://mcp.lovable.dev
codex mcp login lovable
```

### Other clients

Use the same `type: http` + `url` + `auth.CLIENT_ID` shape as the Cursor example above.

## Tools

The server exposes tools across these areas:

- **Projects & workspaces** — list, create, deploy, remix, inspect; manage visibility
- **Agent interaction** — send messages to a project's AI agent and retrieve responses
- **Code inspection** — diffs, file tree, file contents, edit history
- **Knowledge** — read and write project / workspace AI instructions
- **Cloud database** — enable a Postgres database, check status, run SQL, get connection info
- **Connectors & MCP servers** — list, add, and remove external integrations (Linear, Notion, Slack, custom MCP, …)
- **Templates & libraries** — browse template and library projects
- **Analytics** — historical and real-time project traffic
- **File uploads** — generate upload URLs for attaching images

> **Heads up:** `create_project` and `send_message` consume Lovable build credits. `deploy_project` publishes a public URL. `query_database` runs SQL directly against your project's database.

See the [Lovable MCP documentation](https://docs.lovable.dev/integrations/lovable-mcp-server#lovable-mcp-server-research-preview) for the full tool reference.

## Common workflow

Build and deploy a new app:

```
1. list_workspaces()                       → workspace_id
2. create_project(workspace_id, ...)       → project_id   (uses credits)
3. send_message(project_id, "Add ...")     → message_id   (uses credits)
4. get_diff(project_id, message_id)        → review changes
5. deploy_project(project_id)              → live URL
```

Most tools need a `workspace_id` — call `list_workspaces` first. `read_file` needs a git ref; get `latest_commit_sha` from `get_project`.

## Troubleshooting

| Symptom | Fix |
|---|---|
| `401 Unauthorized` / expired token | Re-run your client's login flow to refresh the OAuth token |
| OAuth window loops or never completes | Confirm the client passes the `auth.CLIENT_ID` shown above |
| "Transport not supported" | The client must support Streamable HTTP |
