Use this guide to connect BugHerd to Google Antigravity so you can access BugHerd projects, tasks, and comments directly from Antigravity Agents.
Prerequisites
Before you begin:
You have a BugHerd account
You have access to at least one BugHerd organization
You have Google Antigravity installed
Install and Connect BugHerd MCP
Option 1: Connect using BugHerd authentication
We recommend trying the standard BugHerd authentication method first.
1. Open Antigravity Agent Settings
Open Agent Settings with
Cmd+,(Mac) orCtrl+,(Windows/Linux).Click "Open MCP Config" button.
2. Add BugHerd MCP server to your config
Add the following details to your mcpServers config in mcp_config.json and save the changes.
{
"mcpServers": {
"BugHerd": {
"serverUrl": "https://mcp.bugherd.com/mcp”
}
}
}
3. Authenticate with BugHerd
After saving return to the Settings > Customizations screen. You should now see BugHerd listed in your list of "Installed MCP Servers".
Click the "Authenticate" button.
This will open the BugHerd authentication flow.
Log in if needed
If you have access to multiple BugHerd organizations; Select the organization you want Antigravity have access to.
Click Allow
4. Return to Antigravity and enter the authorization code
After authorizing Google will give you an authorization code.
Copy the code and paste it into Antigravity. You should now be connected to the BugHerd MCP!
Having trouble authenticating?
In some cases, you may be able to complete the BugHerd authorization flow and receive an authorization code, but Antigravity may not successfully establish the MCP connection after the code is entered.
If you've entered the authorization code and BugHerd still isn't connecting, including after restarting Antigravity, you can try connecting using your BugHerd API key instead.
Option 2: Connect using a BugHerd API key
As an alternative to the authentication method above, you can run the BugHerd MCP package locally and provide your BugHerd API key directly.
Add the following to your Antigravity MCP configuration:
{ "mcpServers": {
"BugHerd": {
"command": "npx", "args": [ "-y", "bugherd-mcp" ],
"env": { "BUGHERD_API_KEY": "YOUR_BUGHERD_API_KEY"
}
}
}
}
Replace YOUR_BUGHERD_API_KEY with your BugHerd API key, save the configuration, and restart Antigravity.
Important: Your BugHerd API key provides access to your BugHerd account. Keep it private and don't share it or commit it to a public repository.
Once Antigravity has restarted, check your installed MCP servers to confirm that BugHerd has connected successfully.
Test the connection
Try a prompt like:
“List my BugHerd projects”
If your projects are returned, the connection is working.
