MCP Overview

What the MCP server does

The Lodestar MCP server is the bridge between your enriched work context and any MCP-compatible AI assistant. It provides two categories of capability: read tools (pull your dashboard, emails, files, calendar events, sentiment data, and knowledge graph) and action tools (create follow-ups, draft reply links, update action items, log timeline events).

Connect it once and every conversation with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or Claude Code can start from your actual operating picture.

• Read: dashboard_today, needs_attention, sentiment, emails, files, calendar, knowledge_search
• Act: action_items_create, action_items_update, emails_reply_link, timeline_events_create
• Model-agnostic — works with any MCP-compatible client

Sense → Decide → Act → Close

Every useful AI interaction over MCP follows the same pattern: the AI reads context (Sense), reasons over it (Decide), takes an action (Act), then logs the result (Close). The MCP server provides the tools for each step.

SENSE  ──▶  DECIDE  ──▶  ACT  ──▶  CLOSE
(read       (the AI      (write      (log + notify
 context)    reasons)     back)       + track)

Connector URL and authentication

Remote MCP clients connect to https://api.getlodestar.ai/mcp/v1 using OAuth 2.1. You do not paste an API key into Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT — the assistant opens a browser sign-in to Lodestar, you approve access on the consent screen, and the client receives tokens automatically.

Copy the connector URL from Settings → Integrations → MCP Server in Lodestar (https://app.getlodestar.ai/settings?tab=integrations). The URL always matches your workspace environment (production, dev, or local).
