Another MCP server

Connect any MCP server by its address. Its tools become available to your agents, inside your access level.

Many systems offer their own MCP server: a project manager, a CRM, a database. If your company uses such a system, you connect its server to the Gateway. Your agents use the tools of that server through the same connector, with the same activity log and the same access level.

Connect

In Connections, click Custom MCP server.

  1. Service name: the name that the agents and the log show (for example Linear).
  2. MCP server URL: the address that the system gives in its documentation.
  3. Authentication: how the server expects the sign-in.
OptionWhen to use it
Sign in (OAuth)The server has its own sign-in. The Gateway opens the sign-in page of the system. Sign in and approve.
API tokenThe system gave you a token. The Gateway sends the token as Authorization: Bearer.
Custom headersThe server expects a header with a different name. Enter the name and the value of each header.
No authenticationOnly for servers on a private network, without sign-in.

Click Connect. The Gateway calls the server and lists its tools. If the server does not answer, the Gateway saves the connection and shows the error. Correct the address or the authentication and try again.

Read and write

The Gateway classifies each tool of the server as read or write, with what the server declares. If the server declares nothing, the Gateway classifies by the name of the tool. An access level with read only in the service calls only the read tools.

Private or shared account

The connection is yours. Only your agents use it. You can select Share with the organization: then the agents of all the members use it, with the same account.

If it does not work

MessageWhat to do
”Saved, but the server did not answer”Check the URL and the authentication. Some servers need a path at the end of the address, for example /mcp.
The sign-in (OAuth) does not openThe server does not offer OAuth at that address. Use an API token.
The tools do not appear in the assistantThe access level of the agent does not include this service. Ask the admin.
