Platform for building AI agents and chatbots for websites and messaging channels, with knowledge bases and integrations. Priced by conversations rather than seats. The Botpress ADK ships a local MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code.
Botpress lists Free ($0, 100 conversations, no top-ups), Plus ($150/month billed annually, 250 conversations included, extra packs of 100 for $65), Team ($750/month billed annually, 1,500 conversations, packs of 100 for $50) and custom-priced Enterprise. Annual billing saves 20%. Checked 2026-10-17. source ↗
How Botpress connects to each AI platform: native connector or MCP, API through code the agent writes, browser control, or file upload.
| Platform | MCP / connector | API (agent-written code) | Browser | Upload / export |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude (incl. Claude Code) | Not documented Botpress has an official MCP server and Claude (incl. Claude Code) supports MCP, but Botpress's docs don't name this pairing. Auth setup may differ.

Confirmed means both the tool's and the platform's official docs describe that route (links in the cell); IonBin has not tested every pairing. Not documented means it may work, but no official docs describe that route end to end. Checked Oct 17, 2026.

MCP client support to verify.
No long-form review yet. Verdict is based on research, not hands-on testing.
Builds AI support agents trained on your own content, embedded on your site. Its remote MCP server lets AI assistants list agents, manage training sources, read conversations and handle help desk tickets; an API is also documented.
Live chat and helpdesk with Lyro, an AI support agent. Lyro can connect to external MCP servers to use their tools, and Tidio publishes an Analytics MCP.
Customer messaging and help desk with a help center and the Fin AI agent. Its hosted MCP server, for US and EU workspaces, gives AI tools search and read access to conversations and contacts.
