Overview

The Conveyor MCP Server lets AI assistants — like OpenAI Playground, Claude, Cursor, and others — interact directly with your Conveyor account through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Instead of switching between your AI tool and the Conveyor dashboard, you can ask your assistant to manage questionnaires, update your Trust Center, approve access requests, and pull analytics - all through natural conversation.

MCP is an open standard that gives AI models a structured way to call external tools. Conveyor's MCP server exposes your Conveyor API as a set of tools that any MCP-compatible client can discover and use automatically.

📘
What can I do with it?
Here are a few examples of things you can ask your AI assistant once connected:

"What questionnaires are due this week?"

"Approve all pending access requests from @acme.com"

"Do you encrypt data at rest?"

"Which customers downloaded our SOC 2 report in the last 30 days?"

🚧
ChatGPT, Claude Desktop & Claude.ai
Public consumer products such as ChatGPT, Claude Desktop and Claude.ai currently require OAuth-based authentication for remote MCP servers and do not support Bearer token auth. Because Conveyor's MCP server uses API key authentication, ChatGPT, Claude Desktop and Claude.ai are not supported at this time. We plan to add OAuth support in a future release.
On the other hand, Claude Code and OpenAI Playground are supported, since it does not require OAuth-based authentication.

🛠️ Available Tools

Once connected, your AI assistant will automatically discover all available tools. These tools map directly to Conveyor's public API — the MCP server provides the same capabilities, just accessible through natural language instead of raw API calls.

🔑 Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need a Conveyor API token. You can generate one from your Conveyor dashboard - see Generating an API Token for instructions.

Your API token acts as your identity. The MCP server validates it on every request, so the AI assistant can only access data that your token is authorized to see.

⚠️
Keep your token secure
Treat your API token like a password. Don't share it publicly or commit it to version control. If you believe a token has been compromised, revoke it immediately from your Conveyor dashboard and generate a new one.

⚡ Connecting to the MCP Server

Conveyor hosts the MCP server at:

https://mcp.conveyor.com/mcp

How you connect depends on which AI client you're using. Below are setup instructions for the most common ones.

OpenAI Playground & Other MCP Clients

Any MCP-compatible client can connect by pointing to the server URL and including your API token as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Setting	Value
Server URL	`https://mcp.conveyor.com/mcp`
Auth type	Bearer token
Token	Your Conveyor API token

Refer to your client's documentation for where to configure remote MCP servers.

Adding the Conveyor MCP Server to the OpenAI Playground as a new

JSON Configured Clients (Cursor, Claude Code, etc)

Add the following configuration to the client's JSON settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "conveyor": {
      "url": "https://mcp.conveyor.com/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

For Claude Code, you may also run the following command to add Conveyor to your MCP server list

claude mcp add --transport http Conveyor https://mcp.conveyor.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_TOKEN"

💡 Example Workflows

Here are a few ways to get the most out of the MCP server by combining multiple tools in a single conversation:

Ask one off security questions

"Do you encrypt data at rest?"

Weekly questionnaire check-in

"Show me all questionnaires that are due in the next 7 days, grouped by status. Flag any that are still in 'started' and haven't moved to review yet."

Customer engagement report

"Pull this month's Trust Center interactions and cross-reference with our connections list. Who are our top 5 most engaged customers, and what are they downloading?"

Bulk access management

"Find all pending access requests from @stripe.com email addresses, approve them, and add them to the Enterprise access group."

Knowledge Base audit

"Which Knowledge Base questions are getting the most views this quarter? Are any of them in a status that needs review?"

❓ FAQ

Do I need to self-host anything? No. Conveyor hosts the MCP server at mcp.conveyor.com. Just point your client to it and authenticate with your API token.

Which AI clients are supported? Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol, including OpenAI Playground, Cursor and others. If your client can connect to a remote MCP server with Bearer auth, it will work.

Can the AI assistant access data outside my account? No. The MCP server uses your API token to authenticate with the Conveyor API. It can only access data your token is authorized to see.
