MCP Servers

Summary

• Purpose: Connect to external MCP servers and access their tools
• Audience: Developers, admins
• License Requirement: This is a ProofChat Pro feature with limited access on free licenses. See Pricing and Licensing for details.

Requirements and Limitations

Supported MCP Transport Types

ProofChat currently supports only streaming HTTP transport for MCP servers. The following transport types are not supported:

• SSE (Server-Sent Events): Not currently supported
• STDIO: Not currently supported

When configuring an MCP server, ensure it uses streaming HTTP transport compatible with the Model Context Protocol specification.

License Access

• ProofChat Pro: Full access to MCP server configuration
• Free License: Limited or no access to MCP server features

For details on license tiers and upgrading, see the Pricing and Licensing Guide.

Configure

• Add MCP server configurations with URL and authentication headers
• Each server provides tools that can be called during chat sessions
• Manage multiple server connections from a single interface
• Note: Only streaming HTTP transport is supported

Adding an MCP Server

1. Navigate to Settings → MCP Servers
2. Click Add Server
3. Enter a unique Name for the server (e.g., "Harvest API")
4. Provide the URL for the MCP server endpoint
5. Add any required Headers for authentication (e.g., API keys)
6. Click Create to save the configuration

Managing MCP Servers

• Edit: Update server URL or headers (name cannot be changed after creation)
• Delete: Remove a server configuration
• Server configurations are stored in FileMaker system data

How It Works

Once configured, MCP servers are automatically connected when chat requests are made. The tools provided by each server become available to the AI model during conversations, allowing it to:

• Access external APIs and services
• Perform actions outside of FileMaker
• Extend ProofChat's functionality dynamically
