Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Integration App MCP Server

Q: What is an MCP Server? A: MCP (Model Context Protocol) server acts as a bridge, allowing AI models to access and interact with external data sources and tools. It standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs (Large Language Models).

Q: What is UBOS? A: UBOS is a full-stack AI Agent Development Platform focused on bringing AI Agents to every business department. It helps you orchestrate AI Agents, connect them with your enterprise data, build custom AI Agents with your LLM model, and create Multi-Agent Systems.

Q: What is SSE transport? A: SSE (Server-Sent Events) is a lightweight and efficient protocol for streaming real-time data from a server to a client. The Integration App MCP Server uses SSE for efficient communication.

Q: What are the prerequisites for installing the MCP Server? A: You need Node.js (v14 or higher) and npm or yarn installed on your system.

Q: How do I connect to the MCP server? A: Use the provided URL format: https://your-app-name.herokuapp.com/sse?token=YOUR_TOKEN. Replace YOUR_TOKEN with your valid JWT token.

Q: How do I configure the MCP server with Cursor? A: Update your ~/.cursor/mcp.json file with the server’s URL and restart Cursor.

Q: How do I configure the MCP server with Claude? A: Update your ~/claude_desktop_config.json file with the server’s URL. Note: Anthropic requires a MAX plan or higher to use SSE MCP transports with Claude.

Q: What is a JWT token, and where do I get it? A: A JWT (JSON Web Token) is a secure way to authenticate requests to the MCP server. You obtain a valid JWT token from your Integration App account.

Q: What if I encounter errors during installation or connection? A: Ensure your JWT token is valid, check server logs for any errors, and verify that your deployment environment has the correct environment variables set.

Q: Is the Integration App MCP Server secure? A: Yes, the server uses JWT authentication to ensure only authorized clients can access the service. Make sure to keep your JWT token secure.

Q: Can I use this MCP server with other AI tools besides Cursor and Claude? A: Yes, any AI tool or application that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can potentially connect to this server. Refer to the tool’s documentation for instructions on configuring MCP connections.
