<h1 align="center">Condens MCP Server</h1>

Overview

The Condens MCP Server lets you connect MCP-compatible AI assistants, IDEs, and agent platforms to your Condens research repository. Once connected, you can search across your validated customer insights in natural language directly from the LLMs you already use, or let agents and workflows pull from research findings so whatever they produce is grounded in real customer knowledge.

Features

• Published Research Access - Search and retrieve published Condens Artifacts, including insights, reports, usability issues, and other research outputs
• Permission-Aware - Users only see data they already have access to in Condens
• Client Access Control - Admins control which MCP clients are available and can scope access by role, user group, or individual user
• OAuth 2.0 Authentication - Uses OAuth 2.0 authorization with support for dynamic client registration and PKCE
• Streamable HTTP Transport - Exposes the MCP server over Streamable HTTP at /mcp

Available Tools

The server currently provides these read-only MCP tools:

• List Workspaces - Lists Condens Workspaces accessible to the authorized user
• List Published Artifacts - Lists accessible published Artifacts, optionally filtered by Workspace ID or Artifact IDs
• Get Artifacts - Retrieves Markdown content of Artifacts by ID
• Search Condens - Searches published Artifacts for content relevant to a user query and returns matching Artifact IDs

Getting Started

1. Set up the MCP client in Condens

Admins create and configure the MCP client in Condens under Settings > Account > API & MCP Server, including which users, roles, or groups are allowed to use it.

2. Add Condens MCP to your tool

In your MCP-compatible tool, add the Condens MCP server URL. Your URL depends on your Condens server region:

• https://api.condens.io/mcp for EU
• https://api-us.condens.io/mcp for US

If you're unsure about your Condens server region, Admins can find the designated MCP URL in the API & MCP Server page.

Condens includes preconfigured MCP clients for Claude and ChatGPT. See the client-specific guides below for step-by-step instructions.

3. Authorize the connection on user-level

Each user authorizes the connection for their own Condens account via OAuth. Authorized non-admin users can find setup instructions in: Settings > Integrations > MCP Client > Show setup instructions.

Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 with Dynamic Client Registration. Compatible MCP clients register themselves during the authorization flow, so Condens does not provide manually generated client IDs or client secrets to copy into your MCP client.

Condens MCP currently supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP. It does not support local stdio servers or SSE.

Availability

Condens MCP is available during the free 15-day trial and on Business and Enterprise plans.

Business plans can connect Condens to preconfigured AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT.

Enterprise plans can additionally connect Condens to custom MCP clients, including custom or company LLMs, automation agents, design assistants, knowledge assistants, and coding assistants.

Some MCP clients may require their own paid plan, such as Claude Pro or higher, or ChatGPT Plus or higher.

Security & Access Control

Condens Admins control which MCP clients are available for their organization. For each MCP client, Admins can configure who is allowed to use it by selecting roles, user groups, or individual users.

Only authorized users see the MCP client in their Integrations settings and can complete the OAuth authorization flow. Each user authorizes the MCP client for their own Condens account, so access remains scoped to that user's existing Condens permissions.

Admins can remove or deactivate an MCP client at any time. They can also change which users, roles, or groups have access; those changes limit who can continue using the MCP connection.
