PABS MCP Server

Give your AI coding tools live access to your product strategy.

PABS is a product strategy platform that turns a brief into a full strategy — hypotheses, competitor analysis, PRD, and a living pulse of your venture's health. The MCP server exposes that strategy to any MCP-compatible AI tool so it can build with context, not guesses.

When your AI builder knows the target audience, design hypotheses, and current strategic verdict, it makes better decisions. When it spots a gap between what was planned and what was built, it can report it back — and PABS queues it for your review.

Connection

Transport: Streamable HTTP (MCP 2025 spec) Server URL: https://pabs.co.nz/api/mcp/{your-token} Authentication: Bearer token (one per plan, generated in the PABS app)

Get your token

1. Open your plan in PABS
2. Go to the Connect tab (or click the plug icon)
3. Click Generate Token
4. Copy the server URL — it includes your token

Any MCP-compatible client

The server speaks the MCP 2025 Streamable HTTP transport. Send POST requests to the server URL with a Bearer token in the Authorization header, or embed the token directly in the URL path (as shown above).

The feedback loop

PABS is designed for a two-way relationship between AI builders and the strategy layer.

Outbound (strategy to builder): The builder calls get_full_context at the start of a session to load the current strategy, hypotheses, target audience, and decisions. It builds with that context.

Inbound (builder to strategy): As the builder works, it can call ask_pabs_agent to check whether a proposed feature aligns. If it observes something real — a drop-off, a pattern, a change in scope — it calls report_learning. PABS evaluates the learning against the strategy, proposes an adaptation, and notifies the founder.

Human in the loop: Strategy only updates after the founder reviews and approves a learning. get_pending_learnings and decide_learning let that review happen inline, inside the builder session.

Authentication

Each plan has a unique token. Tokens do not expire by default. You can revoke and regenerate a token at any time from the PABS Connect tab.

The server URL with the token embedded (/api/mcp/{token}) is the recommended format — it lets AI clients distinguish between multiple plans as separate servers.

Alternatively, pass the token in the Authorization header as Bearer {token}, or in the X-PABS-Token header.

Security

• Each token is scoped to a single plan. A token cannot access data from any other plan.
• The server validates the token on every request before any data is returned.
• All requests go over HTTPS.

Requirements

• An active PABS account
• At least one saved plan with a brief
• A token generated from the Connect tab
