Developers / API & MCP documentation
Developer notes for the current open-source Boring release, with a clear view of the source, available integrations, and project status.
Boring Notch Octave is a native macOS application written in Swift and SwiftUI. Its source code, GPL-3.0 license, releases, installation notes, and upstream notices are published in the GitHub repository.
There is no public Boring HTTP API, SDK, webhook service, hosted account API, or MCP server in the current release. The Codex view is an app feature that reads a local Codex folder and requests account usage when opened; it is not a remote API or an MCP tool.
Read the repository README and GPL-3.0 license before building or redistributing the app. The installation guide describes the current Xcode and macOS SDK requirements. The Octave bridge guide explains its local browser integration.
For a bug, use the public GitHub issue tracker and include the app and macOS versions, expected behavior, and steps to reproduce. Remove access tokens, song data, file paths, and other private details from issue reports.
For collaboration, integrations, or product team evaluation, email [email protected] with your use case. There are no undocumented API credentials to request and no published enterprise integration contract.
