Generic MCP
Generic MCP
Any assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP) can connect to a
Twelfth workspace, even if it isn’t in the named list. Twelfth exposes a single
read-only MCP endpoint per workspace, authenticated with a bearer key. Reach
it from Settings → AI & agents → Generic MCP.
Use this when your client isn’t Claude,
ChatGPT,
Gemini,
Grok,
Glean,
Cursor,
Claude Desktop, or
VS Code / Copilot — the pattern is
the same for every MCP client.
Connect
- In Twelfth, open AI & agents → Generic MCP and, in Keys & options, label the connection and select Generate key. Copy the key immediately — Twelfth shows it only once.
- In your client’s MCP configuration, add a server with:
- URL / endpoint — the Twelfth endpoint shown on the Setup tab.
- Authorization — a bearer token set to the key you generated.
- Reload the client’s MCP servers, then ask it to list Twelfth’s tools to confirm the connection.
Available tools
The connection is read-only and exposes the same tools as every assistant:
- Get workspace identity and operating defaults.
- List workspace members and their roles.
- List open actions, including due dates, assignees, and available source context.
These tools cannot write data or make changes in Twelfth.
