AskElephant exposes two remote MCP servers:

ServerURLUse it for
AskElephanthttps://app.askelephant.ai/mcpGiving your agent access to AskElephant workspace data such as meetings, transcripts, and customer context.
AskElephant API Docshttps://docs.askelephant.ai/_mcp/serverGiving your agent the AskElephant public API docs and schema context while building integrations.

Which one should I install?

Install AskElephant if you want your agent to work with live AskElephant data.

Install AskElephant API Docs if you want your agent to help write code against the AskElephant public API.

Install both if you want an agent that can:

  • Look up customer meetings and transcripts
  • Explain the public API surface
  • Draft integration code using the current API docs

Use these names when the client lets you choose a display name:

  • AskElephant
  • AskElephant API Docs

Authentication and access

The AskElephant MCP server acts as the user who connects it. MCP tools can access the same workspace data and actions as that user, subject to the user’s current AskElephant role, privacy rules, and other workspace permissions.

  • OAuth is the recommended connection method. The OAuth scopes shown during sign-in establish the connected user’s identity. They are not per-tool MCP permissions.
  • API keys are also supported for clients that send an x-api-key header. MCP acts as the user who created the key.
  • Public API scopes selected for an API key or OAuth app apply only to Public API requests. They do not limit MCP tools.
  • Removing a user’s access or revoking the OAuth connection or API key removes the corresponding MCP access.

Connect MCP with a user account that has only the access the agent needs. Do not share an API key between users.

Practical notes

  • Both URLs are remote MCP servers. You do not need to run a local bridge process.
  • If your client prompts you to sign in or authorize access, complete that flow before testing.
  • UI labels change frequently across these products. The pages in this section describe the current setup pattern, but a nearby label like Apps, Connectors, or Custom connector may vary by plan and product version.
