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).Remote MCP Servers Catalog
Browse officially hosted remote MCP servers.
Composio MCP Catalog
Large catalog of managed MCP server integrations.
Pick servers from these catalogs; others are not currently supported.
Popular Examples
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
Start with read‑only servers before enabling write actions.

7. Safety & Control
| Aspect | Summary |
|---|---|
| Scope | Only actions exposed by the remote server are callable |
| Access | You can disconnect any time in Integrations |
| Writes | May prompt for confirmation if supported |
| Credentials | Stored/handled by the remote MCP provider, not Dume |
8. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Server not listed | Confirm it appears in supported catalogs |
| Auth failure | Re-run authorization; verify scopes |
| Action unknown | Check server docs; list actions first |
| Empty data | Confirm tool has accessible items; adjust filters |
