Docs MCP server

Anthill Cloud MCP server

Early access

Use Anthill Cloud from the AI tools your teams already use. Connect Claude to your organization's tactics, artifacts and assets over the Model Context Protocol.

The server is a remote MCP endpoint. Every call goes through the same Anthill Cloud APIs the apps use, as the person who signed in, so your organization and your permissions apply to every request.

What early access covers. Read-only tools for tactics, artifacts and assets. A conversation tool onto Arcane and write tools come in later rounds. See What's next.

Server URL

Add this URL to your tool. It is the same for everyone; your sign-in decides which organization you reach.

MCP URLhttps://mcp.dev.cloud.anthill.technology/mcp

Prerequisites

An Anthill Cloud account

In the organization whose content you want to reach.

Access for AI assistants

Your organization must allow third-party AI tools to connect. Your Anthill contact can turn it on.

Connect your tool

Microsoft Copilot Studio Planned

Connecting Microsoft Copilot Studio agents is planned. Talk to your Anthill contact if you need it.

Cursor Planned

Cursor support is planned once its sign-in method is confirmed against ours.

Signing in

You sign in as yourself, with your usual Anthill Cloud account. There is no shared key to distribute and nothing for an administrator to issue.

1Organization. Enter your organization's short name. This comes before your credentials.
2Sign in. Use your usual Anthill Cloud sign-in.
3Approve. Anthill Cloud asks whether your tool may access your account. Choose Accept.

Tools

Every tool reads, returns only what you can see, and pages its results. Tool names may change before general availability.

List tactics. List the tactics you can see in Anthill Cloud, for example to find a tactic by name or count what exists.

Paged with limit and offset. Filters: type

getAomArtifacts Read

Paged with limit and offset. Filters: type, subType, name

Security and governance

The answers your security team will ask for in a vendor assessment.

Organization isolation

Your organization comes from your sign-in and is bound on the server. It is never a tool argument, so no prompt can point a tool at another organization.

Same permissions as the app

Every call runs as you, through the same Anthill Cloud APIs the apps use. If you cannot see something in Anthill Cloud, you cannot see it over MCP.

Read-only in early access

Every tool reads. Nothing you or your assistant does over MCP changes content.

Audit log

Every call is recorded with your organization, your user, the tool and the outcome.

Short-lived access

Access tokens last an hour and are refreshed by your tool. Your token is never forwarded: the server exchanges it for a new one on every call.

Remove access any time

Remove the server from your tool to stop it. Nothing else in your organization is affected.

Example prompts

Once connected, ask in plain language. Your tool picks the right Anthill tool.

Look up

"Which email tactics do we have in Anthill Cloud? List them by name."

Count

"How many design systems does our organization have?"

Find

"Find reusable text assets of sub-type claim and list their names."

Browse

"Show me the most recent documents in our asset library."

What's next

Later rounds extend the same server. Timing follows the platform work each one depends on.

Conversation with ArcanePlanned

A tool that sends a message to the Arcane agent and returns its answer, keeping the thread across calls.

Write toolsPlanned

Manage collections, favorites and content metadata, through the same approval rules as the app.

Credentials for agentsPlanned

Administrator-issued credentials for agents that run without a person signing in.

Authoring toolsPlanned

Create and edit emails and slides over MCP, once the next-generation authoring framework is in place.

Bring your own MCP into ArcanePlanned

Activator design systemsExploring

Reach your brand design systems in Activator from other tools.

Troubleshooting

"Oops!, something went wrong" after entering the organization

Your organization has not been enabled for AI assistants yet. Contact support with your organization's short name.

"No connections enabled for the organization are visible"

Your organization is not set up for this sign-in method yet. Contact support with your organization's short name.

Claude Code says it got new credentials but the server rejected them

Remove the server and add it again - claude mcp remove anthill-cloud - then repeat the steps above.

Signed in, but a tool returns nothing

Tools return only what your account can see in that organization. Check the same view in Anthill Cloud.

Still stuck? Contact Anthill support with your organization's short name.
