Tools & MCPGetting started

Getting started

Stand up governed tools for your agents in four steps.

Connect integrations

In the console, open Connectors and enable the providers your agents need (ticketing, observability, cloud, docs, and so on). A connector must be active with credentials before it appears as a *_tool or a specialist agent on Tools & MCP.

See the integrations catalog  for coverage.

Get an org API key

Create a key in Account Settings — Tokens and API keys. Clients send it as x-api-key (never embed keys in prompts or agent context).

Open Tools & MCP

Go to Agent Harness → Tools & MCP. Confirm the hero shows a live endpoint and tool/agent counts. Browse the Tools gallery for what your org currently exposes.

Point a client

  • IDE / MCP client — Cursor, Claude Code, Codex: paste the sample MCP config from Connect (see Connect clients).
  • Agent framework — use the Harness SDK harness.tools() adapters for LangChain, Agno, Google ADK, and related stacks.

Ask something that exercises a connector tool (for example list open incidents) and confirm the call succeeds under your org key.

Production MCP endpoint defaults to https://production-api.exemplar.dev/mcp. Dev and local hosts resolve to their matching agent-service bases. Override with EXEMPLAR_MCP_URL when using the SDK.
