Manage MCP Server Integration in Management Console

To use the integration with the Management Console, the MCP server must be enabled in the Management Console by the service provider. The service provider sets the access level for the MCP server connector and grants administrators permission to use the integration.

The following access levels are available:

• Read-only access. AI assistants can view information and generate reports but cannot create, modify, start, or delete anything
• Full access (allow changes). AI assistants can view information and make changes within the scope of each account’s permissions

The selected setting applies to all administrators. You can further restrict access for specific administrators in Organization › Administrators. Refer to the Administrator Permissions article.

3. To allow access to the MCP server, select the MCP server check box. Read-only access is granted by default. To allow the administrator to make changes, select Full access (allow changes).
