KIN Create ships a read-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) server so agents like Claude can read the right data on a user's behalf — under the same tenant isolation and permission rules as the app, and with nothing ever written back.
For developers & operators
The server uses a local stdio transport for an MCP client. There is no hosted/remote endpoint yet — that's on the roadmap.
Every tool is side-effect-free. The MCP surface can never write, mutate or delete — only read.
Access is scoped to the caller's workspace; cross-tenant reads return a non-disclosing response.
Per-tool authorization reuses the app's role/permission rules — no bypass of the app layer.
Served only for a principal with an active access grant; revoking a grant fails closed immediately.
Per-user, per-tenant, per-tool rate limits, with immutable audit evidence that carries no payload.
Retrieved records and arguments are treated as inert data — stored text is never interpreted as instructions.
Step by step
Turn on the feature-gated MCP server for your environment (off by default).
An explicit, revocable access grant is issued for the principal and tenant.
Point an MCP-capable client (e.g. Claude) at the local stdio server; identity travels with the session, not tool arguments.
The agent calls read-only tools; output is bounded, minimized and redacted, and every call is audited.
The server exposes a small, deliberate set of read-only tools. Each returns a bounded, minimized, redacted view — never a raw dump.
Every control lives at the trusted server boundary, never in a tool: the feature gate, identity verification, access-grant check, per-tool authorization, rate limiting, output shaping and audit. One tools/call invokes exactly one named tool.
Because the MCP server reuses the platform's own tenant isolation and permission matrix, an agent can never see more than the user it acts for is allowed to see.
MCP is the emerging standard for connecting AI assistants to real systems. Shipping a governed, read-only MCP server means KIN Create works with agent workflows out of the box — without handing an agent write access or exposing data across tenants.
