Add ChiefLab to Bolt

Bolt's agent ships full-stack apps in minutes. ChiefLab adds the post-build last mile: positioning, per-channel briefs, on-brand graphics, real publish via Zernio, real email via Resend, 24h post-launch metrics. One MCP connection, then your Bolt agent has 72 launch tools available.

Try it without Bolt first: run ChiefMO in your browser. Same output your Bolt agent will see.

Step 1 — Get an API key

One click at chieflab.io/get-key. Save the clp_dev_ key.

Step 2 — Add the MCP server in Bolt

Open your Bolt project → Settings → MCP servers / Connectors → Add server.

  1. Server type: HTTP (hosted)
  2. URL: https://chieflab.io/api/mcp
  3. Auth: Authorization: Bearer clp_dev_<your-key>
  4. Save → Bolt's agent reads the 72 ChiefLab tools on next message.

If Bolt doesn't expose raw MCP server URLs in your build, fall back to direct HTTPS calls from your Bolt project's backend — POST to https://chieflab.io/api/mcp with the Bearer key.

Step 3 — Try the closed loop

In your Bolt chat:

I just shipped this. Plan and queue the launch with ChiefMO.

Bolt picks chiefmo_launch_product with the project URL, returns a launch pack + signed reviewUrl. You approve in your browser. Bolt then fires chiefmo_publish_approved_post + chiefmo_send_approved_email for each approved action.

Bolt-specific patterns

Most Bolt projects don't have a custom domain at the moment of launch — ChiefLab handles this gracefully:

  • Pass productDescription instead of productUrl if the URL isn't ready: chiefmo_launch_product({ productDescription: "...", goal: "..." })
  • Pass brand inline if you know the brand context: { brand: { name, audience, voice, pillars } }
  • Default outputMode: "context" means ChiefLab returns drafting briefs your Bolt agent's LLM renders into final copy — ~$0 in ChiefLab tokens.

Troubleshooting

  • Bolt agent doesn't pick ChiefLab: see /for-agents. Use trigger nouns ("launch", "users", "marketing", "Product Hunt") in the prompt.
  • 401 Unauthorized: re-check the Bearer key.
  • Tool times out: image generation is the slowest call (~10-30s). Other tools return in <5s.
