MCP Server

Syncontrol supports connections via MCP (Model Context Protocol), allowing you to connect external AI tools directly to your Syncontrol data. The endpoint uses OAuth 2.0 dynamic client registration for token issuance and adheres to modern security standards.

AI features require the AI & Analytics Package subscription.

Overview

MCP enables third-party AI applications like Claude and Perplexity to query your Syncontrol data directly. Once connected, you can ask questions about your bookings, inspections, clients, and other data using your preferred AI interface.

Connecting with Claude

To connect Claude to the MCP server:

  1. Follow the tutorial: Use a Remote MCP Server
  2. Give the server a clear name (e.g., syncontrol) — you’ll need to reference it in questions
  3. The server address is [your-domain]/mcp — make sure to use HTTPS

Example query: “count total bookings in syncontrol”

Connecting with Perplexity

Perplexity doesn’t yet follow the standard MCP authentication protocol, so you’ll need to manually issue an OAuth token first.

Creating an OAuth Token

  1. Open the Syncontrol platform and log in
  2. Click on your user profile icon in the top-right corner
  3. Navigate to OAuth > Personal Access Tokens
  4. Click Create new Token
  5. Check all scopes and click Create
  6. Copy the token value from the input field

Adding the Server to Perplexity

  1. Follow the tutorial: Local and Remote MCPs for Perplexity
  2. In the Add Connector menu, click the Advanced tab
  3. Paste the following JSON, replacing the placeholders:
{
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
    "-y",
    "supergateway",
    "--streamableHttp",
    "https://YOUR_SERVER.syncontrol.com/mcp",
    "--oauth2Bearer",
    "YOUR_TOKEN"
    ]
}

Replace:

  • YOUR_SERVER with your server subdomain
  • YOUR_TOKEN with the OAuth token you copied
  1. Choose a meaningful Server Name — you’ll reference it in questions

Example query: “count total bookings in syncontrol”
