MCP
Connect external agents to Continual with a workspace or project MCP server.
Choose a server
Continual exposes tools to external agents through MCP. Open MCP in workspace settings to connect across projects, or in project settings to connect to one project.
The workspace server includes connector tools from projects you can access and may expose a large catalog. Use a project server when the client should work within one project.
Connect your client
Copy the Server URL from settings into your MCP client. Settings also provides connection commands for supported clients and instructions for completing browser sign-in.
Use the URL shown in settings so the connection targets the correct workspace or project. Complete the client's sign-in flow, then refresh its tool list.
Access and tools
The server uses your authenticated identity and the workspace or project context in the URL. Tool availability and execution depend on your access and the connected services.
Connecting a client does not grant it additional provider permissions. Review the accounts in Connections and the project's tool permissions when configuring access.
This connection is for external clients. To work with the built-in Continual agent, start a thread.
