Ask without signing in: the public tools

What anyone can ask the site assistant or the MCP server without an account — pricing, overview, docs search, status, contact — and what stays private.

On this page

Busymate AI answers questions about the platform itself to anyone — no account needed — on the site's assistant widget and on the MCP server. Both answer from the same small set of public tools: read-only facts about the platform, never anything about an account, a workspace or a customer. This guide shows how to try them, how to reach them from your own MCP client, and where the line to private data is.

The public tools

ToolAnswers
get_platform_pricingHow the platform is priced — per workspace, metered by conversations and model spend, white-label and custom domains included — and the published app plans. Never a number that is not published.
get_platform_overviewWhat the platform is and does, with the public pages and their summaries.
search_platform_docsA full-text search over these docs: the explanation pages, the guides and the glossary.
get_platform_statusThe running version and build, and the public surfaces (site, chat, console, docs, MCP).
get_platform_contactHow to reach a person: the contact page, sign-in, and the in-chat hand-off.
get_bro_capabilitiesWhat the assistant can do for a visitor who has not signed in — and what it cannot.
get_whitelabel_overviewHow white-label works: your name, your address, the one-script widget, signed-in customers, your own tools over MCP, and the hand-off to your team.

Every public tool is a read. No argument selects a person or a workspace, no answer carries a secret, and every call is rate-limited per visitor.

1. Ask on the site

Open the marketing site and press Try the demo (or the assistant button in the bottom corner). The panel that opens is the platform's own white-label assistant — the same widget every workspace can embed — running as an anonymous visitor of the platform workspace. Ask it what the platform costs, how white-label works, or whether it can see your account; each answer comes from one of the tools above, and the assistant says which.

2. Connect an MCP client

The same tools are served to any MCP client that connects to the management server without signing in. Add the server to Claude Code:

bash
claude mcp add --transport http busymate-ai https://busymate.ai/mcp

Or paste the equivalent client configuration:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "platform-management": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://busymate.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Without a session the client's tool list is exactly the seven public tools. Signing in through the server's OAuth flow replaces that list with the management tools your role allows.

3. Know where the line is

A visitor without a sign-in cannot see or change any account, workspace or customer data, cannot be quoted a price that is not published, and cannot have the assistant act on their behalf — no writes, no sign-ups, no orders. Ask the assistant; get_bro_capabilities says the same in the chat. To talk about your own workspace, sign in and open the full chat; to give your own customers a signed-in experience on your own assistant, follow Recognize signed-in customers.

4. Use the same mechanism for your workspace

When you connect your MCP server, each of its tools gets an access level — public (any visitor), identified (a signed-in customer) or delegated (a signed-in customer, acting through your systems). Your public tools are what your own site widget answers from before a customer signs in; the platform's public tools are simply that policy applied to the platform's own workspace.

Verify

  1. On the marketing site, ask the widget "what does it cost?" — the reply names the per-workspace, metered model and points at the pricing page rather than inventing a number.
  2. Ask "can you see my account?" — the reply says no, and tells you to sign in.
  3. From an MCP client with no session, list the tools: exactly seven, all named get_* or search_*; calling any management tool returns an authorization challenge, not a result.

Questions

Does the site assistant know anything about me?

No. It runs as an anonymous visitor of the platform workspace with the seven public tools only. Nothing about an account, a workspace or a customer is reachable until you sign in.

Why is the unsigned tool list so short?

Because the advertised set is the callable set. A client is never shown a tool it will then be refused; the management tools appear once a signed-in session is presented.

Can a public tool ever write anything?

No. Every public tool is a read of platform facts the site already publishes, and the tier cannot admit a write by construction.

Where do the prices come from?

From the published pricing contract and the published app store record. If a figure is not published, the answer points you to the contact page instead.
