MCP

1. Configuring an MCP Connection

In the Integrations page, you’ll now see a new integration type called MCP.

When you open this integration type, the platform displays all MCP connections currently defined in the environment. The MCP integration behaves similarly to existing integrations such as REST—however, MCP connections follow a fixed structure aligned with the MCP standard.

Creating a New MCP Connection

Click Create Connection.
Provide a Connection Name (e.g., Test Demo).
Click Save.

Once saved, the platform prompts for additional required configuration:

MCP Server Settings with No Authentication Type

You must specify:

MCP Endpoint URL – The base URL of your MCP server Setup MCP
Authentication Type – Select one of the supported authentication methods (No Authentication)
To understand more about Secret Store/Secret Manager refer to this document.

Click Save to finalize.

MCP Server Settings with Oauth Authentication Type

You must specify:

MCP Endpoint URL – The base URL of your MCP server Setup MCP
Authentication Type – Select one of the supported Oauth authentication type
You’ll now see a new list of MCP servers retrieved from https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io/

When you select an MCP server that supports OAuth, the system automatically initiates the OAuth flow. For example, when I choose the Lona Trading Strategy Platform, I’m redirected to its authentication page. If you are already logged in, you'll immediately redirected back, and a new connection appears in the list—created automatically.

Opening this new connection reveals that both methods were added automatically. In the Edit view, you’ll notice that all required fields are already filled in:

Authentication type: OAuth
Client ID: preconfigured
Other necessary connection details: auto‑populated

Using the Connection in a Flow for Oauth

Back in the Flows page: You can drag a Tools node onto the canvas and open the MCP Connections list, the newly created connection appears there. Selecting it displays all the tools provided by that MCP server, ready to use in your flow.

Select the desired MCP connection, and the available tools will appear in a drop-down menu. Choose the necessary tool from the list.

Auto‑Generated Methods

After saving, the platform automatically generates two fixed methods for every MCP connection:

List Tools
Execute Tool

These methods are used internally by system orchestration layer to discover and invoke MCP tools during runtime.

Note: Users cannot create additional, or modify the auto-generated methods for MCP connections.

2. Using an MCP-Connection in a Flow

Refer to MCP Connection Setup Tutorial for more details.

Open any flow in the Flow Designer. You will notice a new node type called Tools.

Adding an MCP Tools Node

Drag the Tools node onto the canvas.
Create a new flow or select one of the previously configured MCP connections

Once selected, iX Hello Customer v2 automatically executes the MCP List Tools method behind the scenes. The tool list returned by the MCP server is then displayed in the UI.
