The Model Context Protocol (MCP) lets AI agents and assistants (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, custom agents, …) connect to Chift’s unified APIs on behalf of your consumers. The remote MCP server grants that access through OAuth 2.0, so before anyone can connect a client you first need to enable MCP and choose which scopes your end users are allowed to authorize. Open the MCP page from the left sidebar. These settings are managed per environment, so use the environment selector to switch between your sandbox and production environments before configuring them. MCP page To configure and activate MCP:
  1. Enable MCP – toggle the switch on to turn on OAuth 2.0 access for the selected environment. This allows third-party applications to request consumer-scoped access.
  2. Pick the allowed scopes – under Allowed scopes, tick the verticals your end users are allowed to authorize. Expand a vertical to select individual entities, or tick Read only to restrict a vertical to read access. End users will only ever be able to grant the scopes you tick here.
  3. Save – click Save to apply your scope selection.
MCP settings Once MCP is active, your end users authorize access from their MCP client: they log in, pick a consumer, and choose from the scopes you allowed. See the remote MCP server guide for how developers connect a client, or the MCP overview to learn how the server works.
