MCP Server

By Connic

Connic publishes your agent as an MCP tool with auto-generated schema. Cursor, Claude Desktop, partner apps, and other agents can call it directly: same logic, no second implementation.

InboundSync

Overview

The Model Context Protocol is how AI applications discover and call external tools. The MCP Server connector puts your Connic agents on the serving side of that protocol: every agent you link becomes a tool with a generated input schema, listed by a standard tools/list call and invoked by tools/call. Anything that speaks MCP, from Claude Desktop and Cursor to a partner's product or another team's agent, can use your agent without a custom API integration.

That makes one deployment serve three audiences at once. Your team calls the agent from their coding tools, partners call it as a metered capability inside their own AI products, and other agents compose with it at runtime. The agent's logic, tracing, and access control stay in one place; only the callers multiply.

How it works

1

Create the connector and pick a mode

Add an MCP Server connector from your agent's Connector Flow. Sync mode waits for the agent to finish and returns the result (up to 5 minutes). Inbound mode returns a run ID immediately and processes in the background, for jobs that take longer.

2

Link agents; each becomes a tool

Every agent you link is exposed as an MCP tool with a standardized schema: a required message and an optional structured payload your agent reads through template variables. Agent names map to tool names automatically.

3

Paste the endpoint into any MCP client

The connector generates a unique endpoint URL and secret key. Add both to Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client, and your agents show up in its tool list.

What you can build

Patterns teams ship in production. No queues, workers, or schedulers to run.

Trigger

Partner calls your agent

mcp://your-product/agent
Agent Action

Each partner gets its own credentials, rate limiting, and metering. Their AI tools call your agent like any other function — you ship a paid API without writing one.

Authentication and access

Every request carries the connector's secret key, either as an Authorization: Bearer header or an X-Connic-Secret header. Authentication is on by default and can be disabled for trusted networks. Each connector has its own endpoint and secret, so a partner integration and an internal integration never share credentials, and revoking one touches nothing else.

Every tool call is a normal agent run underneath: it appears in run history with full traces, token and cost tracking, and the same guardrails and approval rules as any other trigger.

What a tool call looks like

The connector implements the MCP methods clients expect: initialize for capabilities, tools/list for the linked agents, tools/call to invoke one, and ping for health checks. A call sends a required message plus an optional payload object the agent accesses as template variables, so structured data arrives structured instead of packed into prose. See the full request and response formats in the MCP docs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which MCP clients can call a Connic agent?

Any MCP-compatible client: Claude Desktop, Cursor, other MCP-aware IDEs and assistants, custom applications speaking the protocol, and other agents using MCP for tool calls. The connector implements the standard initialize, tools/list, tools/call, and ping methods, so no Connic-specific client code is needed.

Should I use Sync or Inbound mode?

Sync when the caller needs the answer in the conversation: it waits for the run and returns the result, with a 5-minute timeout. Inbound when the work takes longer: the call returns a run ID immediately and the agent processes in the background, with results in the dashboard or delivered by an outbound connector.

Is this the same as an agent consuming MCP tools?

No, it is the other direction. This connector makes your agents callable by MCP clients. Connic agents can also consume external tools inside their own runs; the MCP Server connector is about serving your agent to the outside world through one protocol instead of a custom API. For the wider context, read why pre-built connectors beat custom integration code.
Need MCP Server in a production agent flow?

Bring the event source, payload shape, result destination, and any private-network or approval requirements. We will map MCP Server to the right Connic connector mode, deployment path, and observability setup.
