1. What Is MCP?

MCP is an open standard that lets Dume talk to external tools and data sources it doesn’t natively integrate with. If a tool is missing from the integrations list, MCP can attach it.

2. When To Use It

Use MCP only when:
  • The tool/service is not yet a native integration.
  • You need a limited subset of an external API (specific endpoints, fields).
  • You want to combine new external data with existing workflows.

3. Supported Remote MCP Servers

Only remote MCP servers from trusted catalogs are supported (self-hosted custom servers not yet).
Pick servers from these catalogs; others are not currently supported.
GitHub (PR / issue context)
Notion (pages & databases)
Linear (issues)
Figma (design file metadata)
Sentry (alerts)
Supabase / Neon (DB info)

4. What MCP Enables

  • Query external tool data (records, metrics, metadata)
  • Run tool actions (trigger workflows, fetch artifacts)
  • Combine MCP data with existing integrations in one reply
  • Expand capabilities without waiting for native support

5. Examples

Get design file summary from a Figma MCP server
Fetch latest Sentry error alerts
Retrieve product roadmap page from Notion via MCP
Search code metrics from an analytics MCP endpoint
Start with read‑only servers before enabling write actions.

6. Quick Commands

List available MCP servers
Connect Figma MCP server
Fetch Notion page 'Strategy'
Get recent Sentry alerts
Combine GitHub PR summary and Sentry errors

7. Safety & Control

AspectSummary
ScopeOnly actions exposed by the remote server are callable
AccessYou can disconnect any time in Integrations
WritesMay prompt for confirmation if supported
CredentialsStored/handled by the remote MCP provider, not Dume

8. Troubleshooting

IssueFix
Server not listedConfirm it appears in supported catalogs
Auth failureRe-run authorization; verify scopes
Action unknownCheck server docs; list actions first
Empty dataConfirm tool has accessible items; adjust filters

9. Flow Overview

Choose remote MCP server → Connect → Call an action → Dume uses returned data in conversation.
MCP connected. You can now use external, previously unsupported tools directly in chat.
