Retrieve the request
A user asks Protrak AI to retrieve a maintenance or customer support request from a connected enterprise system. The system's MCP tools fetch the request and supporting details.
MCP Support for Protrak AI
Protrak AI to External MCP Servers
Connect Protrak AI agents to the tools and systems your organization already uses.
An external application exposes supported functions through its MCP Server. Protrak AI connects to that server, discovers its tools, and makes selected capabilities available to an agent within a business interaction.
MCP provides the bridge between a Protrak AI agent and the external systems it needs to work with.

A request may require information or action in development platforms, design tools, documentation services, or other MCP-enabled enterprise systems.
Standardized connectivity
Use the capabilities exposed by a connected MCP Server instead of building a unique AI integration for every operation.
Configured connections
Provide the external endpoint and connection details, then connect or disconnect the server through administration.
One business interaction
Bring external information and approved operations into the Protrak AI experience to reduce repeated navigation between systems.
Use the Connected Service's Authentication
Authenticate using an approach supported by the external service. The demonstrated connection options cover open, token-based, and interactive access.
Unauthenticated
Connect to open services that do not require authentication.
Static token
Use a preconfigured token or API credential for services that support it.
Interactive authentication
Authenticate with the external service through its supported identity-provider flow.
Discover and Inspect External Tools
Discover Tools retrieves the capabilities currently exposed by the connected MCP Server.
Names and descriptions
Review what the server's tools do before making them available to an agent.
Input and output schemas
Inspect schemas where the external server supplies them so tool calls and returned information are explicit and structured.
Selected capabilities
