# Overview

The **BoldSign AI Coding Assistant** helps you integrate BoldSign APIs and SDKs faster. Powered by the {% customlink href="/coding-assistant/mcp-server/" text="BoldSign Assistant MCP" /%} server, a queryable layer over the BoldSign developer documentation. It gives your AI assistant real-time access to accurate API references, code guidance, and integration patterns without leaving your development environment.

{% note %} **Note:** The BoldSign Assistant MCP server does **not** perform any eSignature actions such as sending documents, initiating signing workflows, or making live API calls.{% /note %}

## MCP Server Endpoint

The BoldSign Assistant MCP server is available as a **streamable HTTP MCP server** at:

```
https://developers-mcp.boldsign.com/mcp
```

No API key or additional dependencies are required to connect. Simply add this URL to your MCP-compatible client and start asking questions.

### Key Capabilities

- Search and retrieve content from BoldSign developer documentation
- Answer questions about BoldSign API endpoints, parameters, and workflows
- Provide code guidance for sending documents, managing templates, setting up webhooks, and more
- Help troubleshoot integration issues with documentation-backed context
- Scaffold complete, working applications from a single prompt across supported SDKs and frameworks. For example:

  *"Create a ASP.NET Core MVC application with an option to send the document for signing using BoldSign API"*

## Getting Started

1. **Connect:** Add `https://developers-mcp.boldsign.com/mcp` to your MCP-compatible client (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, or Cline).
2. **Query:** Ask the assistant about BoldSign APIs, SDKs, webhooks, templates, embedded signing, and more.
3. **Build:** Apply the code snippets and guidance to integrate BoldSign into your project.

For detailed setup instructions for each client, see the {% customlink href="/coding-assistant/mcp-server/" text="MCP Server" /%} page.

## Best Practices

- **Validate generated code:** Review and test AI-generated snippets before deploying to production.
- **Use sandbox accounts:** Test integrations with a [BoldSign sandbox account](https://boldsign.com/electronic-signature-pricing/?plan=api) before going live.
- **Start fresh for new topics:** Open a new chat when switching workflows to keep context focused.
- **Use advanced models:** For best results, use GPT-4o, GPT-5, or Claude Sonnet 4.5+.

## Privacy & Data Handling

- The MCP server only reads publicly published BoldSign documentation - it does not access your files, workspace, or account data.
- Prompts are not stored, reused, or used to train BoldSign models.
- Documentation context is retrieved by the MCP server; all output is generated by your selected AI model.
