How to connect your AI assistant to BuzzMeBro
BuzzMeBro runs a public MCP server at buzzmebro.com/api/mcp and a matching web API described at buzzmebro.com/agents. Add the MCP address to an assistant that supports remote MCP, such as a Claude custom connector, with no sign-in. The assistant can then check your building, set up the apartment number and fetch the message for your building.

An assistant can only act on things it is connected to. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the open standard most assistants use for that, and BuzzMeBro offers one. This page is the practical half: where to paste the address, and what the assistant can do once it is connected.
What is an MCP server, in plain terms?
The protocol’s own documentation calls MCP an open-source standard for connecting AI applications to external systems. A server is a list of tools an assistant may call. BuzzMeBro’s list is short: check whether a building can be served, set up a number for the apartment, and read how far the setup has got.
How to add BuzzMeBro to Claude
- Open connectors In Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, then Add custom connector. Claude’s help centre lists this for Free, Pro and Max plans. On Team and Enterprise an owner adds it under Organization settings.
- Name it and paste the address Name it BuzzMeBro and enter
https://buzzmebro.com/api/mcp. - Choose no sign-in BuzzMeBro’s server needs no account to connect, so pick “No sign in” and add it.
- Ask for what you want For example: “Set up BuzzMeBro for my apartment so the buzzer rings both of us.” What to say, in full.
ChatGPT and other assistants
OpenAI’s developer documentation says custom MCP servers can connect a ChatGPT workspace to outside applications, and workspace admins control which ones are allowed. If your workspace has that switched on, the address above is the one to add.
An agent you build yourself can use either door. The MCP server answers plain JSON requests, and the same three steps exist as a web API with an OpenAPI description, linked from the BuzzMeBro page for AI assistants.
What the connection lets the assistant do, and what it does not
| The assistant can | The assistant cannot |
|---|---|
| Check whether your building can get a local number | Skip the code we text to your phone |
| Set up the apartment with your postal code, unit and mobile | Pay, or see your card |
| Read progress and fetch your new number | Read any other apartment’s setup |
| Fetch ready-written requests for your building | Change the panel at your building |
The full picture of what the assistant sees is in is it safe to let an assistant set up your buzzer. If you would rather skip the assistant, Start free takes about two minutes.
From our own door
- BuzzMeBro’s MCP server at buzzmebro.com/api/mcp and its web API at /api/agent/v1 let an assistant check a building and start a setup; checking stores nothing and costs nothing.
- The assistant cannot skip the code we text to your mobile, because that phone will open your front door.
- Payment is on Stripe’s own checkout page; card details never reach BuzzMeBro or the assistant.
Questions people ask
Do I need a BuzzMeBro account to connect?
No. The MCP server needs no account or key. Your account is created during setup, when you prove your mobile with the code we text to it.
Is there a cost to connect?
No. Checking a building costs nothing and stores nothing. The service is $9.99 a month for the apartment once you approve it on Stripe’s page, with the first month free where it is offered.
My assistant does not support connectors. Can it still help?
It can explain the steps and draft the building request, and you sign up at buzzmebro.com yourself. The request wording tool writes the message for your building.
