Authentication
The Management MCP server uses the same authentication options as the data MCP server. See Authentication for details.Management MCP Tools
The Management MCP server exposes the following tools. Invoke them viatools/call with the tool name and an arguments object matching the input parameters below.
| Tool | Description | Input parameters | Returns |
|---|---|---|---|
create_connection | Save a new data source connection. Required property names depend on the source and come from get_source_properties. If the source uses OAuth (for example, Google Sheets or Salesforce), the response includes a link the user opens in their browser to sign in and finish setup. | name (string, required)—short, human-friendly name shown in the user’s connection list. source (string, required)—internal source name from list_available_sources. properties (object, required) — string/string map of configuration values keyed by the field names from get_source_properties. | The created connection object, including its new id. For OAuth sources, also includes the sign-in URL the user must open. |
get_source_properties | Describe the configuration fields a given data source accepts, such as URLs, credentials, and options. The response is split into basic fields (shown first) and advanced fields grouped by category. For fields with a fixed set of values (such as an authentication method), the response lists the allowed values and the follow-up fields each value unlocks. Call this before create_connection. | source (string, required)—the internal source name returned by list_available_sources (for example, "JIRA", "Salesforce", "Snowflake"). | Object with basic and advanced field descriptors, including each field’s name, type, required flag, allowed values, and conditional follow-up fields. |
list_available_sources | List the data sources the user can connect to (for example, Salesforce, Snowflake, Jira). Call this before create_connection to confirm a source is available. | None | Array of source entries with the internal source name (pass this to other tools), display name, version, and category. |
list_connections | List the data source connections the user has already saved. Use this to look up the connection id needed by delete_connection or test_connection. | None | Array of connection objects, each with id, name, and source type. |
test_connection | Verify that a saved connection actually works by attempting to connect to the data source. Use this after create_connection, after the user finishes an OAuth sign-in, or when a previously working connection has started failing. | id (string, required)—the connection id returned by list_connections. | Success message, or a specific error the user can act on. |
Suggested Prompts
To get the most out of the Management MCP, use specific prompts that name the source or connection you want to act on. For example:- “List every connection I have, and group them by source type.”
- “What data sources can I connect to right now?”
- “Show me the required properties I need to provide to connect to Salesforce.”
- “Create a new Salesforce connection named Sales Prod using OAuth.”
- “Test the Sales Prod connection and tell me if anything is failing.”
- “Delete the connection named Sales Sandbox.”
