What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets Dume talk to external tools and data sources it doesn’t natively integrate with. If a tool isn’t in the Integrations list, connecting its MCP server closes the gap.
When to use it
- The tool isn’t a native Dume integration.
- You need access to an internal or self-hosted system.
- You want to combine an external API with your existing integrations in the same conversation.
Connecting a server
Unlike the native integrations, there’s no catalog to browse: you connect any MCP server by pasting its URL. See MCP Server Setup for the full walkthrough.
What it enables
- Query data from the connected server (records, metrics, documents)
- Run actions the server exposes
- Combine MCP data with your native integrations in one reply
Safety and control
Start with a read-only server before connecting one that can write.
