The Summand MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol and gives any MCP-aware client read access to your Summand connectors, datasets, and their semantic layer. It’s hosted by Summand at https://mcp.summand.com/mcp and uses the streamable-HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authentication. There’s nothing to install — point your client at the URL, sign in, and start asking questions.

Wire up claude.ai, ChatGPT, or any other OAuth-aware MCP client.

​
What the server exposes

The server registers seven tools. All of them are read-only — the MCP server cannot mutate connectors or datasets, run pipelines, or change settings. See the tools reference for parameters and example outputs.

​
Authentication model

Access is scoped to whatever the caller already has in Summand — owned resources plus anything explicitly shared with them. There is no way to access a connector or dataset over MCP that you couldn’t access in the dashboard.
Authentication uses OAuth 2.1 bearer tokens issued by Summand’s identity provider. Standard MCP discovery is supported, so clients auto-discover the authorization server on a 401 and register themselves dynamically — no pre-registration required. You’ll typically only need to paste the endpoint URL into your client; everything else happens in the OAuth redirect.
