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
- PlanTurn the next Bolt prompt into an ordered cycle with a clear outcome before the build starts.
- HandoffReturn a scoped handoff to Bolt with the goal, boundaries, and checks that define done.
- ReviewCheck what Bolt built against the handoff, not just whether the preview looks plausible.
- 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
- Create your account. Sign in at getpapi.ai and name the project you started in Bolt.
- Open Bolt integrations. In Bolt, open its MCP or integrations settings and choose the option for adding a remote server.
- 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.
