Build live experiences with Banto DSL

Build with Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex

Your agent writes .banto files locally, runs banto build, tests in the sandbox, and publishes to banto.tv. No Banto LLM on this path.

MCP setup
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "banto": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@bantohq/mcp@latest"]
    },
    "playwright": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@playwright/mcp@latest", "--headless", "--isolated"]
    }
  }
}

Banto MCP loads the agent skill and docs on demand ( get_banto_skill, get_banto_docs, run_banto_cli). Playwright MCP is optional for automated sandbox playthroughs.

Manual fallback

If you skip MCP, drop SKILL.md in your project (e.g. .claude/skills/banto-game/SKILL.md).
