MCP Connector

The MCP (Model Context Protocol) Connector allows you to integrate external MCP servers into a Project,exposing their tools to the LLM in a controlled and shareable way.
Important change: MCP connectors are no longer added directly inside chats. They are now project-level shared connectors.
Ask your IT administrator to enable the MCP Connector in your system configuration with the Operator Manual.

​
Creating an MCP Connector

To create an MCP connector:
  1. Open your Project Sidebar
  2. Click Connectors
  3. Click Create connector
  4. Select MCP
  5. Configure the MCP connection details
  6. Establish the connection
Once the connection is successful, you can configure which MCP tools are available.

​
Tool Selection

After the MCP connection is established, you must select the tools the connector will expose.

​
Why Tool Selection Matters

  • Limits what the LLM can invoke
  • Reduces noise and unintended behavior
  • Improves reliability and safety
You can:
  • Enable or disable individual tools
  • Update tool selection later without recreating the connector
Only selected tools will be available when the connector is used in a chat.

​
Using the MCP Connector in Chat

Once created, MCP connectors can be used in chats:
  1. Open or create a chat within the project
  2. Use the Connectors selector in the chat input
  3. Enable the MCP connector
The LLM will then be able to invoke the selected MCP tools during the conversation.

​
Pre-Selected Connectors

Project administrators can configure MCP connectors to be automatically enabled for every new chat in the project. This is recommended when:
  • MCP tools are a standard part of the workflow
  • Users should not manually manage tool selection
  • The project relies on consistent tool availability

​
Personal and Private MCPs

If a user wants to add or experiment with personal MCP connectors:
  1. Create a private project
  2. Create MCP connectors using the same creation flow
  3. Use those connectors only within that project
This allows safe experimentation without impacting shared projects.

​
Requirements and Considerations

  • The MCP server must be reachable from the connector environment
  • Only MCP-compliant tools are supported
  • Tool permissions are enforced based on connector configuration

​
Security

  • Only selected tools are exposed to the LLM
  • MCP connectors do not grant unrestricted access
  • Tool availability is controlled at the connector level
