How do you build an app with ChatGPT or Claude without coding?

Updated

Writing the code is only part of an app

AI assistants are very good at writing code and building quick prototypes. But an app that a group of people uses every day needs more than code: somewhere to run, a database that keeps the data, a way for each person to sign in and someone to keep it working.

Without that, you end up copying code into a hosting service, wiring up a database and managing passwords yourself. That is the part Bunbird takes care of.

  • Hosting: a real URL you can share.
  • Data: a database that survives every change to the app.
  • People: sign-in, invites and roles.
  • Maintenance: Bunbird keeps the app running.

Step by step

With Bunbird connected to your assistant, the whole process happens in the chat:

  1. Connect Bunbird to your assistant, using the matching section below.
  2. Describe the app: what it is for, who uses it and what rules it follows.
  3. Answer the follow-up questions. The assistant only asks what matters.
  4. Open the link: the app is live, with sign-in and a database.
  5. Share the link with the people who need it.
  6. When something changes, ask for it in the same chat. Every version is saved.

Connect Bunbird to Claude

Bunbird is open by invitation for now, so the connection only works with a Bunbird account that has been invited. The connector address is https://mcp.bunbird.com/mcp.

Fastest way: copy this address into your browser: https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Bunbird&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.bunbird.com%2Fmcp. Claude opens the dialog with the name and address already filled in, and you confirm. Then sign in to Bunbird with the invited account when Claude asks.

Or do it by hand on Claude on the web or the desktop app:

  1. Open Customize, then Connectors.
  2. Press Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Name it Bunbird, enter the address and press Add. Claude opens Bunbird so you can sign in once.
  4. In a new chat, press + at the bottom left, choose Connectors and make sure Bunbird is turned on.

Claude Team or Enterprise

An Owner adds the connector first, in Organization settings, then Connectors. After that, each person only presses Connect.

Connect Bunbird to ChatGPT

In ChatGPT on the web:

  1. Open chatgpt.com/plugins and press Add, then Add custom MCP server.
  2. Name it Bunbird and enter the address https://mcp.bunbird.com/mcp.
  3. Choose OAuth as the sign-in and accept the warning.
  4. Press Create as a plugin, then sign in to Bunbird with the invited account.
  5. In a new chat, type @ and pick Bunbird.

Connect Bunbird to Claude Code

Only needed if you use Claude Code, the command-line tool. Run these two commands:

/plugin marketplace add bunbird/plugins

/plugin install bunbird@bunbird

Sign in to Bunbird when it asks.

Connect Bunbird to Codex

Run these two commands:

codex plugin marketplace add bunbird/plugins

codex plugin add bunbird@bunbird

The Bunbird sign-in opens by itself. If it does not, run codex mcp login bunbird.

Connect Bunbird to Cursor

Open https://app.bunbird.com/connect and follow the steps:

  1. Press Add Bunbird to Cursor and confirm in Cursor.
  2. In Cursor, open Customize and press Authenticate next to Bunbird.
  3. Sign in to Bunbird with the invited account.

Connect Bunbird to Antigravity

You do not need a plugin. Add this to the file ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json:

{"mcpServers":{"bunbird":{"serverUrl":"https://mcp.bunbird.com/mcp"}}}

Restart Antigravity, then press Authenticate next to Bunbird and sign in.

Connect Bunbird to VS Code

You need GitHub Copilot active in VS Code. The fastest way: open https://app.bunbird.com/connect, press Add Bunbird to VS Code, confirm Install, then sign in to Bunbird in the browser. Use Copilot in agent mode.

Or do it by hand: run MCP: Open User Configuration and add this:

{"servers":{"bunbird":{"type":"http","url":"https://mcp.bunbird.com/mcp"}}}

Connect Bunbird to GitHub Copilot CLI

Run these two commands:

copilot plugin marketplace add bunbird/plugins

copilot plugin install bunbird@bunbird

If it asks you to sign in, run /mcp auth bunbird inside Copilot.

Connect Bunbird to Grok

In Grok on the web:

  1. Open grok.com/connectors and start a new connector.
  2. Choose Custom and enter the address https://mcp.bunbird.com/mcp.
  3. Sign in to Bunbird with the invited account.

What to ask once it is connected

Describe the app you want in a normal sentence. For example: “Build me a Bunbird app to track my team’s holiday requests: anyone can request days off, and a manager approves or rejects them.” Or, to change an app you already have: “Add a notes field to the booking form.”

Need help? Read the support page at https://bunbird.com/support/ or write to support@bunbird.com.

How to describe your app

You do not need technical words. A good request says who uses the app, what information it keeps and what rules apply. For example: “Create an app to manage holidays for my company. Managers approve their team’s requests and Sales needs two approvals.”

Start small. It is easier to ask for one more feature next week than to describe everything on day one.
