MCP Overview

Notes:

xpnAI is currently in feature preview and as such documentation for this feature is still work in progress

Overview

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard used by AI clients to connect to external tools and services.

An MCP server is provided by xpna so supported AI clients can connect to xpna with an authenticated workspace.

Before connecting

Before a connection is created, the following should be available:

• an xpna account with access to the target workspace
• a supported MCP client, such as Claude Desktop or Visual Studio Code
• internet access to the xpna MCP server

xpna MCP server

The xpna MCP server is available at:

• https://mcp.xpna.app/mcp

This URL is used when a remote MCP server is added in a supported client.

Authentication options

Two authentication methods are supported:

• OAuth, which is recommended for most end users because sign-in and approval are completed in the browser
• Personal Access Token, which can be used in clients that allow a bearer token to be configured manually

Personal Access Tokens are scoped to one signed-in user and one workspace and can be created from the Access Tokens page.

Next step

Connection instructions are provided in Connect xpna MCP.

Support

If MCP cannot be enabled or the required pages are not available, the workspace administrator should be contacted first. If more help is needed, contact xpna support via email to support@xpna.com.
