## ๐ Summary
- **What happened**: Tutorial demonstrates using GitHub Connector powered by MCP (Model Context Protocol) to reuse components across Bolt.new projects
- **Why it matters**: Enables faster development, token savings, and scalable workflows by making components portable between projects
- **Key stakeholders**: Bolt.new users, developers building web applications with AI assistance
- **Risks and tradeoffs**: Requires GitHub API tokens, uses significant context window, needs careful permission management
- **Bottom line**: Game-changing workflow that transforms how developers can build and reuse components across AI-assisted projects
## ๐ Main Content
The tutorial covers a comprehensive workflow for connecting GitHub to Bolt.new through Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP). Users learn to set up GitHub integration, create repositories for component storage, and use specific prompting techniques to duplicate components, pages, and even entire features between projects. The demonstration includes copying animated border components, importing complete landing pages, and remarkably converting a Swift-based Mac teleprompter application into a functional TypeScript React app within Bolt.
The GitHub Connector requires users to generate fine-grained personal access tokens with appropriate repository permissions. Once configured, the connector enables the AI agent to examine existing repositories, understand code structure, and adapt components to new project contexts while maintaining functionality and styling.

[00:00] Welcome back to another Bolt tutorial.<br>[00:01] Have you ever spent time and energy building a<br>[00:03] beautiful Bolt component like this,<br>[00:05] and you want to copy and paste it from one project<br>[00:08] into another?<br>[00:09] in this video you'll learn how to use the GitHub<br>[00:11] Connector powered by MCP to seamlessly duplicate<br>[00:15] components,<br>[00:16] pages and even multi page features between your<br>[00:19] Bolt projects.<br>[00:20] This is one of the most game changing workflows in<br>[00:23] Bolt because it makes your work portable from one<br>[00:26] project to the next.<br>[00:28] Whether it's a pixel perfect page navigation bar<br>[00:31] or an advanced filter,<br>[00:33] sometimes even a feature written in another coding<br>[00:35] language,<br>[00:36] you can now connect these pieces together.<br>[00:38] which means faster builds,<br>[00:40] tokens saved,<br>[00:41] a less repetitive workflow,<br>[00:43] and a much more scalable way to create.<br>[00:45] As a prerequisite,<br>[00:47] you already need a GitHub account and have<br>[00:49] connected that to bolt.<br>[00:50] To do so,<br>[00:51] click the GitHub icon here in the top right and<br>[00:53] follow the prompts.<br>[00:54] We also have a video called GitHub Fundamentals<br>[00:56] explaining how to do so.<br>[00:57] For this example,<br>[00:58] we're going to duplicate these components here<br>[01:00] with this animated border.<br>[01:02] So let's create a new GitHub repo.<br>[01:04] Give it a name.<br>[01:05] Animated border and create repository.<br>[01:08] to view this in GitHub,<br>[01:10] simply click go to repository.<br>[01:12] Now that this project along with these components<br>[01:14] have been saved to their own GitHub repo,<br>[01:17] let's
let's configure the GitHub connector.<br>[01:19] Within Personal settings,<br>[01:20] you'll see connectors,<br>[01:21] which is powered by Anthropic's Model context<br>[01:24] protocol.<br>[01:24] And select GitHub.<br>[01:26] Click connect.<br>[01:27] And now we need to generate an API key from within<br>[01:30] our GitHub account.<br>[01:31] Click on your avatar in the top right and go to<br>[01:34] Settings.<br>[01:34] On the left hand side of your profile.<br>[01:36] Scroll all the way down to Developer Settings<br>[01:38] then Personal access tokens.<br>[01:41] Click on Fine grain tokens.<br>[01:43] Here we can generate a new token,<br>[01:45] Let's name it bolt<br>[01:47] mcp.<br>[01:48] Choose an expiration or select no expiry.<br>[01:51] I'm comfortable giving access to all my<br>[01:53] repositories,<br>[01:53] but if you're not,<br>[01:54] you can just select the ones you want to<br>[01:56] Time to add the agent permissions,<br>[01:58] so let's click Add Permissions.<br>[01:59] I usually select all of these,<br>[02:01] but feel free to add whichever you feel<br>[02:03] comfortable granting the Bolt agent access to.<br>[02:06] By default,<br>[02:07] these are marked as Read only,<br>[02:08] but you can always change them to be read and<br>[02:10] write if you'd like.<br>[02:11] and now generate token<br>[02:13] back in bolt.<br>[02:14] Let's paste that token and click Connect.<br>[02:16] And just like that,<br>[02:17] GitHub is connected.<br>[02:18] We can click on this card,<br>[02:20] explore it a little bit.<br>[02:21] For example,<br>[02:22] we can view all of the tools that the bolt agent<br>[02:24] now has access to within GitHub.<br>[02:27] If we close our connector settings and we go to<br>[02:29] the bottom left of the prompt box here under<br>[02:31] connectors,<br>[02:31] we can now see the GitHub has been toggled on and<br>[02:34] it's enabled,<br>[02:35] demonstrated by the green light.<br>[02:37] With that all set up,<br>[02:38] we're ready to start our new project and bring<br>[02:40] these components over into it.<br>[02:42] say this is the new project that we're working on,<br>[02:44] and we want to bring those animated border cards<br>[02:46] into this section.<br>[02:48] First of all,<br>[02:48] let's make sure that we've turned on our<br>[02:50] corresponding connectors by clicking plus and then<br>[02:53] connectors.<br>[02:54] Here we can go.<br>[02:55] Enable GitHub<br>[02:56] It's best practice to only turn these on when you<br>[02:58] need them to avoid adding unnecessary context into<br>[03:01] the agents context window.<br>[03:03] because we're about to ask the agent to go into<br>[03:05] another project's GitHub repository,<br>[03:08] find the matching code,<br>[03:09] bring that back here,<br>[03:10] and implement it,<br>[03:11] which is likely to use up a fair amount of<br>[03:13] context.<br>[03:14] It's best to clear the context before<br>[03:16] starting off.<br>[03:17] I'm typing slash clear and enter.<br>[03:19] here's our prompt and listen to how specific I am<br>[03:21] being<br>[03:22] using the GitHub connector.<br>[03:24] Look at my animated border repository,<br>[03:26] addressing it specifically by name.<br>[03:29] On the landing page you should see a Features<br>[03:31] section.<br>[03:32] Please look at the animated border effect with the<br>[03:35] mount position on these cards.<br>[03:37] Add that same animated border effect which follows<br>[03:40] the mouse onto the Problem and Solutions card in<br>[03:43] the Projects in the Y Task Flow section.<br>[03:47] Also reorganize this so the problem is vertically<br>[03:50] above the solution and the cards are horizontally<br>[03:53] aligned.<br>[03:54] Let's let the agent plan this out first and build.<br>[03:57] So here's what the agent has carried out.<br>[03:59] I'll start by examining your animated border<br>[04:01] repository.<br>[04:02] It's gathering key files from<br>[04:04] such as border glow and features.<br>[04:06] it's also checking styling documents.<br>[04:08] adapt the color scheme,<br>[04:09] Add each card with the border glow and more.<br>[04:12] Let's <br>[04:12] implement this plan.<br>[04:13] And just like that,<br>[04:14] in one prompt the bolt agent has successfully been<br>[04:17] able to implement this border glow effect onto<br>[04:20] these cars here in the new project.<br>[04:22] now it's adding the entire landing page into this<br>[04:25] project.<br>[04:26] So this is what we want to add.<br>[04:27] The name is launchly it's got this hero section<br>[04:30] social proof these cards<br>[04:33] some more cards,<br>[04:35] testimonials,<br>[04:36] pricing<br>[04:37] and a footer.<br>[04:39] Let's prompt it in the navbar Add another link for<br>[04:42] alternate landing page.<br>[04:44] Similarly to before,<br>[04:45] use the GitHub MCP to understand the animated<br>[04:48] border repo.<br>[04:49] This time I would like you to bring the entire<br>[04:51] landing page into this project and add to this<br>[04:53] link.<br>[04:54] Let's plan it out and build.<br>[04:56] Here's the plan.<br>[04:57] It's determined there were dependencies to install<br>[05:00] adding Google fonts,<br>[05:01] adding a router in app etc.<br>[05:04] With 13<br>[05:05] detailed steps.<br>[05:06] It's asking us a few clarifying questions.<br>[05:08] So let's answer those.<br>[05:10] Turn it off plan mode and build.<br>[05:12] The agents finished working and let's test it out.<br>[05:14] Alternate landing page.<br>[05:16] And just like that,<br>[05:17] it's perfectly imported.<br>[05:18] Our other project<br>[05:19] animations and all,<br>[05:21] including this animated border,<br>[05:23] the how it works section,<br>[05:25] testimonials,<br>[05:26] pricing even with the counter and the footer,<br>[05:30] now you can use your tokens wisely to build<br>[05:32] components once and copy and paste them into your<br>[05:35] future projects.<br>[05:36] now let's get a little experimental with this.<br>[05:38] Here I found a public repository by cadir.<br>[05:41] it's called text Frame and it's a free Mac OS<br>[05:44] teleprompter with real time word tracking,<br>[05:47] just like you can see here.<br>[05:48] Now here's the tricky part.<br>[05:50] We can see that this is written in 99% Swift,<br>[05:54] The language used to build native iOS and Mac<br>[05:56] apps.<br>[05:57] Because the claude agent is powered by Claude Opus<br>[06:00] under the hood and this frontier model has a<br>[06:02] decent understanding of Swift and a very good<br>[06:05] understanding of TypeScript.<br>[06:07] let's ask the Bolt agent to completely transform<br>[06:09] this Swift project into a working React typescript<br>[06:13] app.<br>[06:13] First,
let's fork this project.<br>[06:15] I'm happy with this name and create fork.<br>[06:18] Now let's build this out as a new Bolt project.<br>[06:21] We'll make sure that our GitHub connector is on<br>[06:23] Here's our prompt.<br>[06:24] Look into my GitHub repository called text frame.<br>[06:27] You'll notice that the project has been written in<br>[06:30] Swift.<br>[06:30] I want to copy the features of this project here<br>[06:33] into Bolt,<br>[06:34] converting the project into TypeScript.<br>[06:36] It should be as functional as possible.<br>[06:38] we'll put the agent into plan mode so it can<br>[06:40] explore the GitHub repo first and build.<br>[06:43] The bolt agent has built out a very comprehensive<br>[06:45] plan.<br>[06:46] Which is 15 steps long.<br>[06:48] It all looks good,<br>[06:49] so let's implement.<br>[06:50] The agent's just finished building this multi step<br>[06:53] process and look what it's created.<br>[06:55] On its first shot,<br>[06:56] it's
It's been able to create a textream interface here<br>[06:59] with the text.<br>[07:00] And in the top right,<br>[07:01] let's click Start.<br>[07:02] Welcome to textream.<br>[07:04] This is your teleprompter.<br>[07:06] Paste your script here,<br>[07:08] hit play and start speaking.<br>[07:10] It works,<br>[07:10] which is absolutely incredible.<br>[07:12] The fact that the agent could turn all of that<br>[07:14] swift code into TypeScript<br>[07:16] and implement it in a Bolt project,<br>[07:18] it's just phenomenal.<br>[07:19] This unlocks the whole world of open source<br>[07:21] projects that are out there on GitHub.<br>[07:23] As you saw in today's video,<br>[07:24] you've been able to bring in components,<br>[07:26] entire pages and even features written in other<br>[07:29] programming languages into your bot project.<br>[07:32] Now you can start building up your own personal<br>[07:34] library of components,<br>[07:35] perhaps even share these with the community.<br>[07:37] And
And use these to fast track your Bolt projects<br>[07:40] while saving tokens.<br>[07:42] I hope you found this video useful as always.<br>[07:44] If there's any content that you'd like to learn<br>[07:46] more about,<br>[07:46] please leave it in the comments below and we'll do<br>[07:48] our best to get to it.<br>[07:49] And with that,<br>[07:50] all the best.<br>[07:51] Implementing GitHub,<br>[07:52] connectors into your project.

## Highlights
- or an advanced filter, sometimes even a feature written in another coding language, you can now connect these pieces together. which means faster builds, tokens saved, a less repetitive workflow, and a much more scalable way to create.
