Connecting AI Client

Prerequisites

Before connecting, the user needs an active account on the platform. The MCP add-on must also be enabled for the network.

Authentication

The MCP Server uses OAuth to authenticate your connection. When you add the connector to your AI client, you will be redirected to the admin panel to authorise access. Once authorised, the connection is established, and you can start working immediately - no need to manually manage API keys or tokens within your AI tool.

Your credentials are never shared with or stored by the AI assistant. The MCP server handles authentication securely on your behalf.

The MCP Server URL is:
