Overview

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI coding tools talk to outside services. The OrbitOrca MCP server gives the agent in your editor access to your apps on the platform — so it can check a deploy, read logs, or ship a change without you copy-pasting between the dashboard and your editor.

What your agent can do

• Read (on by default) — list your apps, check status and logs, read environment variables, list products and customers, check deploy readiness, and pull ready-made wiring prompts.
• Write (a deliberate opt-in) — create, deploy, stop, and restart apps, change settings and environment variables, and manage products and prices. Real changes to your apps and billing.

A token you create decides which of these the agent gets. Read-only is the safe default; you add write only when you want the agent to make changes. See Scopes & safety.

Connect your host

Pick your editor:

• Claude Code
• Cursor
• Windsurf
• Claude.ai / Claude Desktop
• Any other host (generic Streamable HTTP)

Every host points at the same server:

https://api.orbitorca.com/mcp

You authenticate with a personal access token. The dashboard's Connect an agent page creates one and fills it into a ready-to-paste snippet for your editor — open app.orbitorca.com/mcp. How tokens work, expiry, and revocation are on Tokens.
