How the MCP API Works
Understand how to connect AI tools to your Credia Knowledge Bases using the MCP protocol.
Key Points (6)
What is MCP
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI tools interact with external services. Credia implements an MCP server so AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and IDE tools can read and write your Knowledge Base content.
What AI tools can do with MCP
With a read-only key, AI tools can list your Knowledge Bases, search SOPs, and read full SOP content. With a read-write key, they can also create new SOPs, add steps, update content, and publish SOPs.
Available read tools
list_knowledge_bases, list_categories, search_sops, get_procedure (full SOP with steps), and get_category_content (all SOPs in a category).
Available write tools
create_sop, add_steps, update_sop, and publish_sop. These require a key with read-write permissions.
Authentication
Each API call requires an API key generated from Settings > MCP. The key is passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header.
Activity logging
All MCP tool calls are logged in the Activity Log so you can track what actions AI tools performed on your behalf.
