Connect Follow Up Boss to Continue.

Ace AI is the FUB-native real-estate copilot. Continue is the open-source AI coding assistant for VS Code and JetBrains. Drop one block into .continue/config.json and Continue gets 189 Follow Up Boss tools — all callable from Continue's chat panel.

Before you start: The MCP connector requires an Ace Pro seat ($55/mo). Sign up free first. Then, if your team pays for your seat, ask your admin to move you to Ace Pro from the Seats page; if you pay for your own seat, upgrade it yourself. Each agent also connects their own Follow Up Boss login in Ace once, so the connector only sees what Follow Up Boss lets you see.

  1. Open .continue/config.json.

    In Continue, open the chat panel and click the gear icon → Open Config. Or open the file directly at ~/.continue/config.json (global) or .continue/config.json (per-project).

  2. Add the followupace MCP server.

    Add an mcpServers entry inside the config object:

    {
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "followupace",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mcp-remote", "https://followupace.com/mcp"]
    }
  ]
}

  3. Reload Continue and sign in.

    Reload your editor window. The first Continue chat that calls an Ace tool will prompt you to sign in with the email on your Ace Pro seat (normally the work email you use in Follow Up Boss) — a 6-digit code is mailed to that inbox.

  4. Connect your own Follow Up Boss login (one time).

    Open Ace inside Follow Up Boss (or, in the Ace workspace, Settings → Integrations) and click Connect as yourself, authorizing with your own Follow Up Boss login. The connector answers through it, so it only sees the contacts Follow Up Boss lets you see. Until you do, your first CRM request will ask you to connect.

Why this matters for realtors

Continue is the most popular open-source AI coding assistant in the JetBrains and VS Code worlds. If your team's tech operator already trusts Continue (because it's MIT-licensed and self-hostable), hooking Follow Up Boss in keeps the same trust boundary while giving them a CRM lever right in the chat panel.
