Connecting to Jentic Remote MCP Server

One MCP server. 1,500+ APIs. No credential risk.

Jentic connects your AI assistant to 1,500+ APIs through a single MCP server. Credentials never touch your prompts — Jentic's managed vault handles auth centrally. Just-In-Time Tooling means agents fetch only the tools they need, keeping context lean and reasoning accurate.

Goal — Connect to the Jentic Remote MCP server using either API Key authentication or OAuth, allowing you to search, load, and execute external APIs directly where you work.

Features

  • Search & Discover APIs: Search across thousands of available operations and workflows from popular APIs (Gmail, Discord, GitHub, and more) using natural language queries
  • Execute Operations & Workflows: Run API operations and multi-step workflows directly from your AI assistant, with automatic credential management and secure execution
  • Credential Management: Securely store and manage API credentials for multiple services, with automatic credential selection based on operation requirements
  • OAuth 2.0 Authentication: Enterprise-grade OAuth authentication with PKCE support, automatic token refresh, and user consent flows
  • Agent-Scoped Access: Operations and credentials are scoped to your agent, ensuring secure access control and isolation

Authentication Methods

OAuth is a standard authentication protocol and is recommended for connecting to the Jentic Remote MCP Server. It provides secure, token-based authentication that's managed by the client.

OAuth 2.0 Authentication Requirements: - A valid Jentic account (sign up at jentic.com if you don't have one) - An MCP Configuration set created in your Jentic organization - API credentials configured for the services you want to use (configured through the Jentic dashboard)

The OAuth flow uses PKCE (Proof Key for Code Exchange) for enhanced security and supports automatic token refresh for seamless long-term use.

OAuth Dynamic Client Registration is supported by the following MCP clients:

  • Claude Desktop — OAuth authentication
  • ChatGPT — OAuth authentication
  • Cursor — OAuth authentication (also supports API Key)
  • Windsurf — OAuth authentication (also supports API Key)

API Key Connections

API Key authentication is supported by the following MCP clients:

  • Cursor — API Key authentication (also supports OAuth)
  • Windsurf — API Key authentication (also supports OAuth)

Connection Requirements

Requires a Jentic account (free) to use tools effectively. For OAuth connections, you'll need an MCP Configuration set created in your Jentic organization. For API Key connections, you'll need a Live Capabilities agent with an associated API key.

Before you start

Complete these steps in Jentic before connecting your MCP client:

  1. Sign in to Jentic — Go to app.jentic.com/sign-in
  2. Add API credentials — Add any API keys, OAuth tokens, or other credentials you'll need to your registry

Important: Use the same login method (e.g., Google sign in) for both Jentic and your MCP client connection.

Quick start

Choose your MCP client and authentication method:

OAuth (Recommended): - Claude Desktop - ChatGPT - Cursor - Windsurf

API Key: - Cursor - Windsurf

Note: Additional MCP clients may support connecting to the Jentic Remote MCP Server, but are not currently documented in these guides. If you're using a different MCP client, you can still connect using the same authentication methods (OAuth or API Key) and server URL (https://api.jentic.com/mcp).
