13AI agents (MCP server)

SYNERGY Management Gateway includes a server for the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open protocol AI assistants use to call tools. Through it, an AI agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, an assistant in Visual Studio Code or Cursor, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any other MCP client — can search and manage Active Directory on a person's behalf, with the same permissions, approvals and audit trail as that person.

This chapter covers how agents connect, what they can do, how their changes are supervised, and the three administration screens for the MCP server: Connected Agents, MCP Tools and MCP Settings.
