Quickstart
The shortest path to a first result in Bucky, with pointers for builders, developers, and AI agents.
This is the shortest path to a useful first result. Builders often start on the map; developers and agents integrate over HTTP or MCP.
For builders (product)
- Open the Projects map and frame a site — search an address, drop a pin, or draw an area.
- Use Project Scout to explore the block, compare options, or assess development potential. See site exploration.
- Use Review & create to save a project from your selection, or continue scouting and save a site option later.
- Review zoning and feasibility on the framed site.
- Explore services when you are ready to find people to build.
Example prompts for Scout and chat: Prompting BuckyAssist. New to the terms? Skim core concepts first.
For a firm
One champion, one known address, then decide who sees the project. Do not provision the whole office first.
- Follow the builder steps above on a site you already know.
- Read people on a project before you invite anyone.
- 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:
- API — in progress; OpenAPI reference is being added.
- MCP — read-only tools today (
queryProjects,resolveAddressContext,semanticSearch, and others). See the MCP tool reference.
Map exploration and Project Scout are product UI workflows; they are not exposed as MCP tools.
Choose how you work
In the product
Builders: scout a site on the map, then create a project.
Over the API
Developers: HTTP integration (documentation in progress).
From an agent
AI agents: read-only tools over MCP.
Where to go next
- Builders → Site exploration and the Platform section. Firms: First week with your team.
- Developers → the API section as it lands.
- AI agents → MCP and the tool reference.

Core concepts
The handful of entities — BuckyAssist, projects, parcels, site options, zoning, feasibility, people, and services — that show up across every part of Bucky.
Platform
How Bucky models the world — projects, people, parcels, zoning, feasibility, and services — and how they connect in a typical workflow.
