ℹ️ What is the MCP Server?

Info

New in Atfinity 17.

MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is how an AI tool talks to another system. The Atfinity MCP server gives such a tool the configuration of one tenant, everything you would otherwise edit in the configuration area yourself.

The tool acts as the person who signed in and granted it access, and can do nothing that person could not do themselves. Only a user who may change the configuration can grant access at all.

A tool asks either to read the configuration, or to read and change it, and you can hold a tool that asked for both to reading only.

Changes land in the draft, so you review them and put them live yourself. Release notes are the exception, since a tool with change access publishes those directly.

A tool also reaches the draft cases you test a configuration with, including the values in their fields. Live cases, their instances and their values are out of reach, and stay with the Atfinity API.
