This article provides example configurations for connecting Dawiso to popular AI agentic tools using the Dawiso Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Prerequisites

For on-premises deployments, first enable MCP. Run the following command in your database and reload your configuration:

update ENV_Configuration SET Configuration_Value = 'true' WHERE Configuration_Key = 'be.module.mcp.enabled'

Which tools your AI tool can use

The tools an AI tool sees are not the administrator’s allowlist alone. The effective set is the intersection of three things:

  • the tools your role permits,
  • the tools the administrator has allowed for the environment,
  • your own personal selection, if you have made one.

If you have not made a personal selection, you inherit the administrator’s default set. You can narrow your own set further under My AI tools — see MCP Tools Management. A personal selection can only narrow the set; it never grants a tool that your role or the administrator’s allowlist doesn’t already permit.

An external AI tool picks up a change to your selection the next time it reconnects.

Obtain the MCP server URL

To connect your AI tool to Dawiso, you need the MCP server URL of your Dawiso environment. The URL follows this format:

https://your_instance.dawiso.cloud/api/mcp
  • Replace your_instance with the BE API URL of your Dawiso environment.

To find your BE API domain:

  1. In your Dawiso environment, open Dev Tools (Ctrl+Shift+I or F12 on Windows/Linux, Cmd+Option+I on macOS).
  2. Go to the Network tab and refresh the page.
  3. Using Search (Ctrl+F on Windows/Linux, Cmd+F on macOS), look up authority.
  4. Select the result that includes a header like: 
    :authority: your_instance.dawiso.cloud
  5. The value from the :authority header is your BE API domain.

Connect your AI tool

Each AI tool has its own way of adding MCP servers. Follow the instructions for your specific tool below and use the MCP server URL from the previous step.

Claude Enterprise or Team (organization-wide connector)

If your organization uses Claude Enterprise or Team, an organization Owner can add Dawiso as a connector once, for everyone in the organization to use.

  1. Go to Organization Settings > Connectors.
  2. Click Add, then select Custom > Web.
  3. Enter a Name (for example Dawiso) and the MCP server URL from Obtain the MCP server URL.
  4. Click Add.
Warning

Only an organization Owner can add a connector at this level.

Once added, anyone in the organization can turn it on for their own chats:

  1. In a chat, click +, then select Connectors.
  2. Toggle Dawiso on.
  3. Log in with your Dawiso account when prompted.
