MCP Servers

AI tools —
on the open standard

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is how AI agents discover and use tools. UCM gives you local, remote, and embedded MCP servers — and a Connection Gateway to reach dozens of enterprise systems through three tools.

The Reality

AI agents are only as capable as their tools

An AI assistant without access to tools can only reason on what is in its context window. With tools, it can search knowledge bases, read documents, create records, and take action in real systems.

The Model Context Protocol is the open standard that makes this work — a common language for AI agents and tools to communicate. UCM implements MCP natively. Whether you are using Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or building your own agent, UCM's MCP servers give AI the tools it needs to do meaningful work.

How It Works

Three server types. One consistent tool interface

💻

Local MCP Server

Published to npm as ucm-mcp-server · Stdio transport · For Claude Desktop and Claude Code

🌐

Remote MCP Server

Web-accessible endpoint · Streamable HTTP · Enterprise cloud access

🤖

Agent MCP Server

Embedded in UCM Agent API · Tools available inside every UCM agent conversation

Key Capabilities

One consistent interface

UCM's MCP tools cover the full lifecycle: discover content, read artefacts, publish knowledge, manage repositories, access SharePoint, connect to remote systems.

The Unified Connection Gateway adds three tools that proxy any external connection — so an AI agent can reach Atlassian Jira, Confluence, or any custom service through a single, governed access point.

  • MCP tools across discovery, artefacts, repositories, SharePoint, and connections
  • Local MCP server: npm package for Claude Desktop and Claude Code
  • Remote MCP server: HTTP endpoint for cloud and enterprise deployments
  • Unified Connection Gateway: access dozens of external tools through 3 gateway tools
  • Tool schemas loaded on demand — no context window bloat
  • Full authentication support: API key, OAuth, and platform-managed credentials

Unified Connection Gateway

One gateway. Any external system

Three tools give an AI agent access to every external connection your organisation has registered — SharePoint, Atlassian, Remote MCP Servers, and any custom service — without needing separate integrations or bespoke authentication code.

How it works in practice: An agent calls ucm_list_connections to discover available systems, then ucm_access_connection to get the tool schemas for a specific system. From that point, ucm_call_remote_tool executes any tool on any system — authentication, credential refresh, and OAuth flows handled transparently.

MCP Tool Categories

Every AI capability your organisation needs

UCM's MCP tools are organised into five categories — covering everything from knowledge discovery to enterprise system access.

🔍

Discovery & Navigation

ucm_connect, ucm_get_author_index, ucm_list_repositories, ucm_list_artifacts, ucm_search_artifacts — explore the full UCM namespace hierarchy.

📄

Artefact Operations

ucm_get_artifact, ucm_publish_artifact, ucm_delete_artifact, ucm_get_artifact_versions, ucm_edit_artifact_metadata — full artefact lifecycle.

🗂️

Repository Management

ucm_create_repository, ucm_get_repository, ucm_update_repository — create and manage knowledge repositories.

📎

SharePoint Tools

ucm_sharepoint_search_documents, ucm_sharepoint_list_folders, ucm_sharepoint_read_file — search and read SharePoint content via Microsoft Search.

🔌

Connection Gateway

ucm_list_connections, ucm_access_connection, ucm_call_remote_tool — access any external service through a single, governed gateway.

💻

Local & Remote

Local stdio server for Claude Desktop and Claude Code. Remote Streamable HTTP server for cloud and enterprise. Same tools, same governance, different transports.
