Frequently Asked Questions

What is BuildShip.tools?

BuildShip.tools is designed to help you create custom Tools or MCPs, that can be readily used with you AI Agents. BuildShip.tools doesn’t just give you a set of ready to use to add to your Agent. Use the AI Builder to create and modify faster, and connect it with your Agent Framework in seconds.

How is BuildShip.tools different from the previous version?

BuildShip.tools is focused on making tool creation easier and more accessible to everyone. With natural language prompting, you can start building the tools your AI agent needs. Connect and test end-to-end, with AI helping throughout the process. If you’re already a BuildShip user, you’ll notice new additions like the “Tool Trigger” and the “Toolsets Manager” to streamline your workflow. We’ve also introduced our new AI Builder to accelerate the creation of custom Nodes and even full Workflows. As we continue to evolve, we’d love to hear your feedback on these new features!

Is this Open source? Can I self-host the tool?

Better than open source! You can actually build and export code for any tool or flow you build on BuildShip. Exported code can be self-hosted in your own infrastructure of choice. In addition, every node's access is accessible as well, and you can directly edit on the canvas. We believe in ensuring you have full access and can build without any roadblocks or limits. You can choose how you want to build: with AI lens, create with no-code workflow view, or look at the low-code of each node and edit on canvas or export full code and directly self-host to make changes as you need.

How does BuildShip.tools pricing work?

If you’re new to BuildShip you can sign up for the Free Plan, no credits card required. The plan includes access to the new AI Builder and monthly credits for running your tools. For a full breakdown, visit buildship.com/pricing.

What if I already have a BuildShip workspace?

Nothing changes, just dive in and enjoy the new features we’ve added!

Can I use the AI Builder for free?

Yes - AI Builder is included on every plan, even the Free tier. The Free plan generally covers about 10 messages a day, but the exact number flexes with the size and complexity of each prompt–response. Paid tiers raise the quota, and all message limits refresh at the start of each month. During the launch phase we're granting extra messages for all tiers.

I still have questions. Who should I talk to?

The answer to this question will remain the same as what's currently in the FAQ.

Can I have multiple environments?

Yes, multiple environments are available in the Enterprise plan. This feature allows organizations to create separate development, testing, and production environments to support their development lifecycle. Each environment has its own isolated resources, configurations, and access controls, enabling teams to safely develop and test changes before deploying to production. This capability is particularly valuable for organizations with complex workflows or those requiring strict separation between development and production systems.
