Demo

Connecting to the Octagon Remote MCP Server ​

The Octagon Remote MCP server is available at:

  • https://mcp.octagonai.co/mcp for Remote MCP clients that support OAuth (recommended)
  • https://mcp.octagonai.co/{OCTAGON_API_KEY}/mcp for Remote MCP clients that don't support OAuth yet

Authentication ​

Octagon MCP supports both API keys and Public Keys:

  • API keys provide full access to Octagon capabilities.
  • Public Keys work with limited model/endpoint access.

For instructions on creating either credential type, see Authentication for Octagon Agents API.

When using the MCP server with non-OAuth clients, set {OCTAGON_API_KEY} to either your API key or Public Key.

What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP)? ​

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that allows AI applications to extend models with additional capabilities and context.

MCP enables AI models to:

  • Access external knowledge and data sources
  • Use specialized tools for specific domains
  • Leverage capabilities beyond what's built into the base model

For a deeper understanding of the MCP protocol, see Anthropic's MCP documentation.
