Model Context Protocol · Open Standard

Your org's knowledge,
inside your AI — permanently.

Synaply speaks the open Model Context Protocol, connecting to any MCP-compatible AI assistant and giving it live access to your enterprise search, your knowledge graph, and your firm's frameworks and approved documents.

Overview

What the MCP Integration Does

Most AI assistants start from a blank slate every session. They don't know what your team decided last week, who owns the Acme account, or what process your ops team documented in March. Synaply's MCP integration fixes this.

Once connected, your AI can search across every workspace source, read the documents behind an answer, list the companies, people and projects you work with, and answer from your firm's approved documents and frameworks. All from inside your conversation, without switching apps, and only ever with what you can already open.

The integration exposes 6 tools organized into two areas: Search (one unified search across your entire workspace — people, entities, decisions, documents, and outcomes) and Trusted answers (your frameworks and the approved documents behind each requirement).

Captured once, available everywhere your team works. Synaply doesn't replace your existing tools. It captures the knowledge produced inside them and makes it queryable across your entire AI stack via MCP.

Setup

How to Connect

Synaply works with any MCP-compatible client. The setup below shows the native connector flow. You need an active Synaply account. The full setup takes under two minutes.

  1. 1

    Open your AI assistant's settings

    Navigate to Settings, then Connectors (or the equivalent MCP server panel) in your AI client.

  2. 2

    Add a New Connector

    Click Add Connector and search for Synaply, or paste the MCP server URL provided by your admin.

  3. 3

    Authenticate via OAuth

    You'll be redirected to Synaply to authorize the connection. Log in with your Synaply credentials and approve the requested permissions.

  4. 4

    Confirm the Connection

    Return to your AI assistant with Synaply listed as active. All 6 tools are immediately available in your conversations.

  5. 5

    Start Your First Session

    Try: "What decisions have we made about X?" or "Do we have a current incident response plan?" Your assistant connects to your search, graph, and approved documents instantly.

Use Cases

What You Can Do With It

Once connected, these are the most common ways teams use Synaply through their AI assistant.

Query Your Knowledge Graph

Ask about any entity, relationship, or decision in your workspace. Your AI traverses the graph to connect the dots no single search could find.

“What's the full picture on Acme Corp? People, deals, decisions.”

Breadth Questions, Not Just Needles

Search answers "find me this one thing." This answers "show me all of them." Your AI lists every company, deal, or project in the graph over any window — then reads into each one to tell you where things stand.

“How many companies have we worked with in the last 90 days, and where does each one stand?”

Enterprise-Wide Search

One query searches across your drives, email, chat, code, and people. No more switching tabs to track something down.

“Find everything we have on the Q3 pricing change.”

Decision Archaeology

Find not just what was decided, but who made the call, why, and what happened next. Trace the full decision-to-outcome arc.

“What decisions did we make about the auth migration, and did they land?”

Answer a Questionnaire From Approved Documents

Paste a client's security questionnaire. For each question your AI finds the matching requirement in your frameworks and answers only from the approved document behind it, and says plainly when one is missing or out of date.

“Answer this security questionnaire from our approved documents.”

Onboarding and Context Transfer

New team members ask their AI to surface everything the org has captured about their role, accounts, and active projects, before their first meeting.

“What should I know about our enterprise sales process?”
API Reference

All 6 Tools

Every tool available through the Synaply MCP server. Required parameters marked ✱.

synaply_searchSearch

The one tool for every workspace question. Hybrid keyword and semantic search across all connected sources — email, chat, files, code, calendar, CRM, and people — with exact identity, entity, decision, and relationship facets built in.

synaply_read_document_fullSearch

Returns the full indexed text of any search hit — title, deep link, and author included. Pass an optional query to search the entire document and return the matching passages.

Required:sourceType ✱sourceId ✱
synaply_read_documentsSearch

The batch form of read_document_full: read up to 20 documents in a single call by passing their source refs. Returns them in the same order, each with title, deep link, author, and text.

Required:refs ✱
synaply_get_outcomeSearch

Returns terminal outcomes — merged PRs, closed issues, shipped or won work, plus success and failure retrospectives with sentiment. Each carries its artifact title and deep link.

synaply_list_entitiesSearch

Lists everything in your knowledge graph — every company, person, deal, and project you actually work with — filtered by type and time window, and always limited to what you personally have permission to see. This is what turns breadth questions into exact answers: how many companies have we worked with in the last 90 days, which deals have gone quiet, where does each one stand. Search finds a needle; this returns the whole list.

synaply_frameworksTrusted answers

Your firm's frameworks — a client's security questionnaire, cyber insurance, CSQM 1, or your own — and the approved documents behind each requirement. List the frameworks you may use and where each requirement stands, or ask a question and get the matching requirements, their status, and the approved documents you can open, with their opening text. If a requirement is missing or out of date it says so, so your AI never answers from the wrong copy. Available in workspaces that use frameworks.

Security

How the Integration Is Secured

Synaply's MCP integration is built with security as a baseline, not an afterthought.

OAuth 2.0 authentication

All connections are established via standard OAuth 2.0. No passwords are exchanged. Your AI assistant receives a scoped access token that can be revoked at any time from your Synaply account settings or from the assistant's connector panel.

Encrypted transit

All data exchanged between Synaply's servers and your AI assistant provider travels over encrypted HTTPS connections.

Scoped access

The MCP integration only accesses data your account is already authorized to see. Existing role-based permissions and privacy levels are enforced on every tool call. A document you cannot open is never returned to your session, whichever tool asks.

No AI training

Data accessed through the MCP integration is not used to train AI models, by Synaply or any third party.

Revocation

Disconnect the Synaply connector from your AI assistant's settings at any time. This immediately terminates the integration's access with no further action required.

Troubleshooting

My AI assistant says Synaply tools aren't available+

The connector may have been disconnected or the OAuth session expired. Go to your assistant's connectors panel and confirm Synaply shows as active. If listed but unresponsive, disconnect and reconnect to issue a fresh token.

My AI says there is no framework to answer from+

Frameworks are set up by your workspace admins, who choose who can use each one in AI tools (admins only, everyone, or selected people). Ask an admin to share the framework with you. Even then, you only ever get the approved documents you can already open.

Enterprise search doesn't find my documents+

Enterprise search covers content from connected sources (drives, email, chat, GitHub, and more). If a source isn't connected in your workspace, its content won't appear. Contact your admin to verify which integrations are active.

How do I revoke the connection?+

Disconnect the Synaply connector from your AI assistant's connectors panel. This immediately revokes the token and terminates access. You can also contact support@synaply.io to force-revoke all active tokens for your account.

Still stuck? Email support@synaply.io with your workspace name and a description of what you're seeing.
