MCP servers

Connect an MCP server. Then just say what you want done.

The Model Context Protocol lets an AI agent use real tools instead of describing them. Ottermind hosts the connection, so there is no local process, no JSON config to hand-edit, and no restart when something changes. Pick a server below, or paste any MCP URL.

Servers you can connect today

Each one is a working connection in Ottermind, not a directory listing.

Bring your own MCP server

Paste any MCP endpoint into Ottermind and it is checked, listed and ready in the same conversation. Servers you add stay private to your workspace.

Add a custom MCP server

MCP questions people actually ask

What is an MCP server?

An MCP server is a small program that exposes one system's abilities — a database, an inbox, a browser — through the Model Context Protocol, a shared format AI agents understand. Instead of writing a custom integration per model, you run one server and any MCP-capable agent can use it.

What is MCP in AI?

MCP stands for Model Context Protocol. It standardizes how an AI model discovers and calls external tools, and how those tools return results. It is the reason an agent can search your Notion, read a Sentry trace and open a browser tab without three bespoke integrations.

MCP vs API — what's the difference?

An API is built for a programmer who reads documentation first. MCP is built for a model: the server describes its own tools, arguments and results at runtime, so the agent can discover what is available and choose. MCP servers usually sit on top of an existing API rather than replacing it.

Which MCP servers does Ottermind support?

The list on this page reflects what is connectable today, including Playwright-style browser control, GitHub, Notion, Linear, Supabase, Slack, Sentry, Stripe, Gmail and Vercel. You can also add any other MCP server by URL.

Do I need to run an MCP server locally?

No. Ottermind hosts the connection for the servers listed here, so there is no local process to keep alive and no config file to maintain. If you do want a local server, the desktop app can reach one running on your own machine.

Can I add my own MCP server?

Yes. Paste the server URL and Ottermind checks it, lists its tools and makes it available in the conversation. Servers you add are private to your workspace, and any tool that writes asks for confirmation before it runs.

What can the agent actually access?

Only what you grant. OAuth connections start read-only and keep write scopes separate, managed MCP connections are scoped per workspace, and write operations require an explicit confirmation. You can review or revoke any connection at any time.

Does this work with Claude?

Yes. Ottermind runs on Claude models and speaks MCP, so a connected server is available to the agent in every task. You do not need to edit a desktop config file to make a server visible.

Stop configuring. Start with the task.

Connect what you use, describe the outcome, and get a result you can edit — not a transcript of tool calls.
