The server dictates what actions MCP clients can perform within the platform. Nextworld's MCP server allows you to read, insert, update, delete, and create records, or transition a record's workflow. Learn more in Model Context Protocol (MCP). 

You can connect external MCP clients to:

  • An application—Connect to an individual application.
  • A project—Connect to a project, including all of its public artifacts.
  • A bundle—Connect to a specified group of tables and logic blocks. 

Once connected, the MCP client retains access and can interact with the platform across multiple conversations. 

How to connect

To connect an external MCP client, you must:

  • Either open the application you want to connect with or navigate to the MCP Bundle application and open the record.
  • Select the Get MCP URL button next to the application or record name. If you don't see the button, open the User Menu, navigate to the Ed page, and toggle on Show MCP Connection Option.
  • Copy the URL.
  • Navigate to the external client and add a custom connector with your MCP URL link. 
  • Ask the MCP client to perform an action in the application. If you aren't sure what actions are permitted, ask the client. 

You can also connect Ed to Nextworld applications. Learn more in Connect Ed to external MCP servers. 

OAuth for Claude Enterprise

Claude Enterprise accounts can configure OAuth for connecting Claude to the Nextworld MCP server. This requires users to provide their own Personal Access Keys when using the MCP client to connect to internal applications. Without OAuth configured, the user who configured the MCP connection is listed on each action the client performs in the platform. 

To configure, system administrators must:

  • In Claude, open Settings and navigate to the Connectors tab. Select Add a custom connector.
  • Name it, then paste the MCP URL link from the application, bundle, or project you are connecting with into the Remote MCP server URL field. 
  • Delete the API portion of the URL. For example, the Journal Entries application URL link is formatted like this: https://apps.nextworld.net/ai/mcp?app=JournalEntry&apikey=d9ed5d49-14c5-4c2d-bd13-10fd21far059. In the field, you would use https://apps.nextworld.net/ai/mcp?app=JournalEntry
  • Expand Advanced Settings. 
  • In the OAuth Client ID field, enter your tenant ID. 
  • Select Add.
  • Select the Connect button next to your Connector record. 

When users sign in, they will be required to provide their Personal Access Key retrieved from the Settings page of their User Menu.
