# Bystep

> Bystep turns an idea into a plan, the plan into verified steps, and the steps into an app that is proven to work (Proof-of-Done). Three doors: Build it for me (Bystep builds it), Guided (a human helps at a fixed price), On your own (`@bystep/cli` / MCP inside Claude Code, Codex, Cursor). Indonesian-first, English available.

If you are an AI assistant helping a person, read the agent guide first and never try to run `npx @bystep/cli` inside a chat: a chat has no project folder. Guide the person to https://bystep.dev/mulai instead.

## Start here

- [Agent guide (Indonesian)](https://bystep.dev/agent-guide.md): how an assistant should recognise the user and guide them; the source of truth for buttons, steps and every CLI command
- [Agent guide (English)](https://bystep.dev/agent-guide.en.md): same, in English
- [Three doors](https://bystep.dev/mulai): Build it for me · Guided · On your own
- [Build it for me](https://bystep.dev/otomatis): the non-technical path, no installation
- [Build on your own computer](https://bystep.dev/serve): use your own Claude/ChatGPT subscription with `bystep serve`; pair the computer with a one-time code (`bystep serve --pair <code>`), keep it running with `bystep service install`
- [Sign in](https://bystep.dev/sign-in): Google sign-in; the first plan is free
- [Dissect a website](https://bystep.dev/tutorial#bedah): start a plan from a public website URL (`/plan?flow=website`, signed in) — Bystep reads up to 12 public pages as BystepBot (robots.txt and `Content-Signal: ai-input=no` honoured, no login, no copying of brand/text/images), writes an evidence-backed dissection (features marked observed/inferred, flows, pricing, data model, technology), then interviews the user (keep / change / drop) before writing their own PRD; 3 dissections per 24 h free, 12 on paid plans

## Documentation

- [Full tutorial](https://bystep.dev/tutorial): the complete step-by-step tutorial for every mode — build it for me, on your own with the CLI, on your own computer (`bystep serve`), agent teams, quality gates, MCP, collaboration, publishing, plans and troubleshooting; anchors such as `#mandiri`, `#komputer`, `#tim`, `#kendali`, `#mcp`, `#masalah`, `#referensi`
- [How Bystep works](https://bystep.dev/docs): plan → hand to your agent → checkpoints → codebase sync → revising the plan; includes the hosted MCP section
- [Integrations](https://bystep.dev/integrations): import/export formats and the hosted MCP connector
- [Agent readiness](https://bystep.dev/readiness): score a public GitHub repository for agent work
- [Public benchmark](https://bystep.dev/benchmark): anonymous pass rates and costs
- [Templates](https://bystep.dev/templates): plans that reached verified status
- [Support](https://bystep.dev/support)
- [Provider policy](https://bystep.dev/kebijakan-penyedia): per AI vendor, which ways of running are allowed, gray or forbidden (own computer, API key, Bystep credits), with sources and the date checked; Bystep never stores or forwards subscription tokens

## Pricing

- [Pricing](https://bystep.dev/pricing): Free / Starter / Pro / Fable / Studio / Campus, IDR and USD, including agent-team and reviewer limits; always the current numbers

## API, CLI and MCP

- [Machine schema (JSON)](https://bystep.dev/api/schema): every CLI command with its options, every MCP tool (stdio and hosted), the Task Packet and evidence JSON Schema, and the agent-platform endpoints (`runtime.endpoints`: handshake, events, checkpoints, pairing, token rotation; `agentPlatform.endpoints`: workflow protocol v1 — unchanged — plus approvals, review, decision cards, state, streams, undo, continue-elsewhere, issue import)
- [@bystep/cli on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bystep/cli): `npx @bystep/cli --llms` prints the command manifest; npm can lag behind the Bystep download below
- [@bystep/mcp on npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@bystep/mcp): stdio MCP server for coding agents
- [Hosted MCP](https://bystep.dev/api/mcp): Streamable HTTP MCP for Claude.ai / ChatGPT / Cursor connectors (Bearer `bs_…` key)
- [Provider policy JSON](https://bystep.dev/api/provider-policy): the same table as public JSON (cached one hour)
