Remote Connections

Every enterprise system —
one governed access layer

UCM's Unified Connection Gateway connects AI agents to your existing enterprise systems. One access point, fine-grained permissions, and tool schemas loaded only when needed.

The Reality

Every new tool is another integration to manage

Connecting AI agents to enterprise systems is not a one-time task. Each service has its own authentication model, its own API, and its own set of permissions to manage. Without a centralised access layer, AI agents either get overly broad access — or each integration becomes a custom project.

UCM's Unified Connection Gateway provides a single, governed access point to all your external connections. Register a connection once; manage permissions centrally; AI agents access only what they are authorised for.

How It Works

One gateway. Every enterprise system

Custom MCP Server

Tool schemas are loaded on demand — not upfront. An AI agent can have access to dozens of connections without loading all the tool definitions at once. Context window cost is proportional to what the agent actually uses.

Key Capabilities

Connect once. Control centrally

Connections are registered in UCM once and assigned to groups through the standard permissions model. UCM handles authentication automatically and manages token refresh behind the scenes.

Each connection can carry its own guidance — instructions that tell the AI exactly how to work with that specific system. See the AI Optimisation page for more on how guidance makes agents smarter.

  • Single access layer for all enterprise system connections
  • Supports SharePoint, Jira, Confluence, GitHub, and any MCP-compatible service
  • Fine-grained permissions per connection — teams only access what they are authorised for
  • Guidance per connection — optimise AI behaviour for each system individually
  • Authentication managed automatically — users connect once, UCM handles the rest
  • Tool definitions loaded on demand — AI stays efficient regardless of how many connections exist

Connection Capabilities

Every integration. The same governed access layer

From Microsoft 365 to Atlassian to custom services — UCM brings all your enterprise connections under one roof, with consistent permissions and governance.

🔐

Fine-Grained Permissions

Assign connections to groups with owner, contributor, or viewer access. AI agents only reach systems their user is authorised for — scoped to the principle of least privilege.

⚙️

Guidance Per Connection

Attach specific instructions to each connection — pre-load known identifiers, correct common model behaviour, or set boundaries on what the AI should do.

🔑

Managed Authentication

API keys, user OAuth (on-behalf-of), and platform-managed Dynamic Client Registration. UCM handles token refresh automatically — users authenticate once.

📎

Microsoft 365

Native SharePoint integration with Microsoft Graph API. Search documents, list folders, read files — all with SharePoint permission enforcement.

📋

Atlassian

Pre-configured platform provider for Jira, Confluence, and Jira Service Management. No manual setup required — connect and go.

🔮

Bring Your Own

Any MCP-compatible service can be registered as a custom Remote Connection. Same permissions, same guidance, same governance as the built-in integrations.
