Why MCP Matters
MCP is an open protocol that standardizes how AI applications connect to external tools. This means:- Extend beyond built-in integrations — Connect to services Abundly doesn’t natively support yet
- Use community servers — Tap into the growing ecosystem of MCP servers
- Connect internal systems — Build an MCP server for your in-house tools and make them available to your agents
- No waiting — Add new integrations yourself, without waiting for platform updates
How It Works
1
Find an MCP server
Get the URL of an MCP server — from the community, a vendor, or one you’ve built yourself.
2
Add to your agent
Go to the MCP Servers tab in your agent’s capabilities and add the server URL.
3
Authenticate if needed
The platform automatically detects if authentication is required. Choose OAuth (recommended) or API token.
4
Enable tools
Once connected, the platform discovers available tools. Toggle individual tools on or off.
Adding Your Own MCP Servers
In the MCP Servers tab, you can add any MCP server by providing its URL:- Full control — Choose which tools to enable or disable
- Per-server auth — Manage authentication for each server
- No approval needed — Add servers directly without waiting for platform support
Building Your Own MCP Server
If you need to connect agents to an internal system, you can build a custom MCP server:- Implement the MCP protocol for your system
- Host it on your infrastructure
- Add the URL to your agent
Finding MCP Servers
Security
MCP credentials are encrypted using hybrid AES+RSA encryption. OAuth tokens are never exposed to the AI model directly — the platform handles authentication.
