How to integrate your BoltAI Desktop app with Icecat MCP

BoltAI is a desktop application that allows you to use different LLM (large language models) and AI connections. The purpose of this post is to show how BoltAI can use Icecat MCP (model context protocol) server as a tool linked to your free Open Icecat account.

Disclaimer: this post is not a recommendation of BoltAI. Further, do NOT use your Full Icecat account with BoltAI, unless it’s established that the AI handles proprietary data correctly.

In order to integrate with the bolt Desktop app you can take the following steps.

At the menu item “Plugin” click on the ”wheel”-icon.

In the Plug-in click the “+” in the left-bottom.

Next, you see this screen.

The one tricky thing is to get your API key. 

You can do this for FREE at our website: https://icecat.biz -> create an account -> my profile -> manage access token -> copy or add your API Access Token. 

NOTE: only use the free Open Icecat account given its permissive open content license. Don’t use a Full Icecat account, as we can’t be certain at this point of time that the AI respects proprietary data.

Copy the below snip-it to this screen

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "icecat-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "mcp-remote",
        "https://mcp.icecat.biz",
        "--header",
        "Api-Token:[YOUR TOKEN HERE}"
      ]
    }
  }
}

And copy you API token at the right spot

Click Save changes.

Now you are able to switch the icecat MCP on at “plug-ins”

We are looking forward to you feedback below!
