Quickstart

The shortest path to a first result in Bucky — one address, a cited read, and who sees it next.

This is the shortest path to a useful first result. Most teams start with one known address; developers and agents integrate over MCP or the CLI.

Start with one address

  1. Open the Projects map and frame a site — search an address, drop a pin, or draw an area.
  2. Use Project Scout to explore the block, compare options, or assess development potential. See site exploration.
  3. Use Review & create to save a project from your selection, or continue scouting and save a site option later.
  4. Review zoning and feasibility on the framed site — both carry a citation back to the source.
  5. Explore services once the site looks viable and you're ready to find people to build.

Example prompts for Scout and chat: Prompting BuckyAssist. New to the terms? Skim core concepts first.

Decide who sees it (a firm)

One champion, one known address, then decide who sees the project. Do not provision the whole office first.

  1. Follow the steps above on a site you already know.
  2. Read people on a project before you invite anyone.
  3. Walk First week with your team if you need the full rollout sequence.

For developers and agents

The same entities — projects, parcels, zoning, feasibility — can be accessed programmatically:

  • MCP — read, write, and export tools. An agent can create a project from an address, run feasibility on it, and export a report. See the MCP tool reference.
  • CLI — product and city-operator commands. See CLI.
  • API — prepaid POST|GET /api/v1/sites/check is the priced unit. See the developer quickstart and API.

Map exploration and Project Scout are product UI workflows; they are not exposed as MCP tools.
