Palm hosts a remote [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server so AI assistants can work with your Palm account directly — onboard and verify businesses, search the registration registry, manage monitoring, and file with the state.

***

<Note>
  MCP access is enabled per account. [Talk to our team](https://cal.com/team/getpalm/palm-apis) to have it turned on for your organization.
</Note>

## Connect

The server is hosted at `https://mcp.getpalm.com/mcp` and uses OAuth, so there is no API key to paste. Your assistant opens a browser, you sign in with your Palm Console account, and the connection is authorized.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Claude Code">
    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add --transport http palm https://mcp.getpalm.com/mcp
    ```

    Run `/mcp` in Claude Code to complete the sign-in.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Codex">
    ```bash theme={null}
    codex mcp add palm --url https://mcp.getpalm.com/mcp
    codex mcp login palm
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Cowork and Claude Desktop">
    Add Palm as a custom connector:

    1. Go to **Customize > Connectors** and click **+**.
    2. Choose **Add custom connector**.
    3. Enter `https://mcp.getpalm.com/mcp` as the server URL and click **Add**.
    4. Click **Connect** and sign in with your Palm Console account.

    On a Team or Enterprise plan, an owner adds the connector once under **Organization settings > Connectors**, and each member then connects and signs in with their own Palm account.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Other clients">
    ```json theme={null}
    {
      "mcpServers": {
        "palm": {
          "type": "http",
          "url": "https://mcp.getpalm.com/mcp"
        }
      }
    }
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Any MCP client that supports remote servers over HTTP can connect. Point it at the same URL and complete the sign-in prompt — the server registers the client for you, so there are no OAuth credentials to configure by hand.

## Access and scoping

Every call is made with your own credentials, so the server sees exactly what your Palm Console account sees — the same organization, the same records, the same permissions. Connecting an assistant grants it no access beyond your own.

## What the assistant can do

| Area                                          | Capability                                                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| <span className="initial-bold">Onboard</span> | Search the business registration registry, pull a registry record, check name eligibility                          |
| <span className="initial-bold">Verify</span>  | Add a business to your account, submit it for verification, read the result                                        |
| <span className="initial-bold">Monitor</span> | Turn monitoring on or off for a business and choose which events it subscribes to                                  |
| <span className="initial-bold">Comply</span>  | Form an LLC or corporation, apply for an EIN, change a registered agent, work open cases, retrieve filed documents |

The server also ships guided workflows for the longer jobs — a full KYB review, a portfolio compliance sweep, an end-to-end formation — so an assistant follows Palm's procedure instead of improvising one.
