PAPI + Bolt

Bolt can get a product moving in a conversation. PAPI keeps the direction, decisions, and next cycle visible when the project grows beyond the first prompt.

How PAPI fits a Bolt project

No new app to open: PAPI runs inside the AI tool you already build in. Add PAPI as a remote MCP server in Bolt and keep the project record alongside the conversation that shapes the app.

Decisions on the record: every call your project makes is kept, with the why, and checked against new work. The calls behind a fast prototype stay available when the next prompt changes the shape of the product, so Bolt is not asked to guess what mattered.

Catches drift: the moment new work slides off the plan, PAPI flags it. When a Bolt build starts outside the agreed direction, the cycle and review steps make the mismatch visible before it becomes another rewrite.

The work stays pointed

  1. PlanTurn the next Bolt prompt into an ordered cycle with a clear outcome before the build starts.
  2. HandoffReturn a scoped handoff to Bolt with the goal, boundaries, and checks that define done.
  3. ReviewCheck what Bolt built against the handoff, not just whether the preview looks plausible.
  4. ReleaseClose the cycle and carry the decisions into the next Bolt conversation or another MCP tool.

Where PAPI stops: A generic CLI task list can name a task. PAPI keeps the product direction and review gate around Bolt prompts, then carries them across tools.

Connect PAPI to Bolt

  1. Create your account. Sign in at getpapi.ai and name the project you started in Bolt.
  2. Open Bolt integrations. In Bolt, open its MCP or integrations settings and choose the option for adding a remote server.
  3. Add the PAPI URL. Paste the URL below, keep authentication on OAuth, and sign in when the browser opens. Then ask Bolt to run setup.

Questions

Does PAPI replace Bolt?
No. Bolt builds the app. PAPI keeps the direction, the decisions, and the checks around that work.
Can I move the project to another tool?
Yes. The same remote PAPI project can be connected from another MCP tool, so the plan and decisions travel with the project.
Does PAPI read my code?
Your code stays on your machine. PAPI adds a planning layer to whatever you're already building, it doesn't read your source.
What if I only need a quick prototype?
You may not need PAPI yet. It becomes useful when the project has decisions worth keeping and work that needs to stay pointed in the same direction.
