MiniVerse · Getting started

Where to Start

Two docs. Read them in order. By the end you have an AI assistant grounded in BOTIM’s real sources and a mini program you built with the CLI.

Step 01

Do this first

Set up the MCP server

Connects your AI assistant (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue) to BOTIM’s canonical docs, SDK, skills, components, icons, backend endpoints, and bridge debugger.

Once installed, your assistant answers every question below from real sources instead of guessing — including questions about the CLI and plugins.

Auto setup: paste one prompt, ~2 minutes
Manual setup: add one config block + one /etc/hosts line

Step 02

Full lifecycle

Build a mini program with the CLI

The full lifecycle in one tool. Use the Botim CLI to take a project from scaffold to publish.

Scaffold a new mini-program project (via Claude.Code)
Initialize and configure it
Build locally and debug
Publish to the Developer Portal

Requires macOS, Node.js v18+, and Git access to BOTIM’s GitLab.

Suggested first promptAfter MCP is live

Using the BOTIM MCP, show me the mini-program quickstart.

If canonical content comes back, you’re set.
