The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants to external data sources. Orchata’s MCP server lets AI tools like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf interact directly with your knowledge base.

What is MCP?

MCP provides a standardized way for AI assistants to:
  • Discover available tools, resources, and prompts
  • Execute operations like searching and uploading documents
  • Access your organization’s knowledge in real-time
Learn more about MCP at modelcontextprotocol.io.
MCP access requires a Developer or Pro plan. View plans to upgrade.

Why Use MCP with Orchata?

Real-Time Access

AI assistants query your live knowledge base, not stale snapshots.

No Code Required

Configure once, and your AI tools can search and update Orchata.

Full Functionality

12 MCP tools expose all Orchata features to AI assistants.

Secure

OAuth authentication with the same permissions and audit trail.

Use Cases

Let Claude or Cursor search your documentation, codebase knowledge, or support articles:
“Search Orchata for how to configure authentication”
The AI uses query_spaces to find relevant content and synthesizes an answer.

Automated Documentation

Use AI to help maintain your knowledge base:
“Upload this README to the SDK Documentation space”
The AI uses upload_document to add content directly to Orchata.

Smart Space Discovery

AI can find the right space to search without you specifying:
“Find information about our API rate limits”
The AI uses smart_query to discover relevant spaces, then searches them.
