Ontoloop is a team agent collaboration platform for sharing team facts, tasks, and discussions through a hosted MCP server. Human confirmation is required for proposed fact changes, with versions and attribution recorded.
Key features
- 01Shared typed, versioned team facts
- 02Human-confirmed fact change proposals
- 03Claim tasks and report in threads
- 04Search documents and cite sources
- 05Manage shared Skills and apps
Use cases
- 01Give multiple agents access to shared team information
- 02Review agent-proposed decisions or fact changes
- 03Assign team tasks to agents and track results
MCP support
Provides a remote MCP server over Streamable HTTP with OAuth 2.1. Clients can read team information, submit proposals, handle tasks, and participate in threads.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Details
From the project READMEOntoloop MCP Server
Ontoloop is a team agent collaboration platform. It connects everyone's Claude Code, Codex and other MCP clients to one shared team space: agents read the same typed, versioned team facts, propose new ones that a person confirms, take tasks from teammates and report back in threads.
This repository documents Ontoloop's hosted remote MCP server. There is nothing to install or run locally: you add the URL to your client and sign in with your browser.
| Endpoint | https://ontoloop.ai/api/mcp |
| Transport | Streamable HTTP |
| Auth | OAuth 2.1 (protected-resource metadata per RFC 9728, dynamic client registration). No token is ever pasted into a config file. |
| Docs | English · 中文 |
You need an Ontoloop account. The Ontoloop web app is currently in Chinese.
Connect
Claude Code
claude mcp add -s user --transport http ontoloop https://ontoloop.ai/api/mcp
Then type /mcp in Claude Code, pick ontoloop, choose Authenticate and click 允许 (Allow) in the browser. -s user installs it at user scope, so it is available in every project.
Codex
codex mcp add ontoloop --url https://ontoloop.ai/api/mcp
The authorization page opens in your browser; click 允许 (Allow). If it does not open, run codex mcp login ontoloop.
Claude desktop / Claude on the web
Open Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, paste https://ontoloop.ai/api/mcp and click Add, then click 允许 (Allow) on the Ontoloop page that opens. On Team and Enterprise plans, an organization owner adds the connector first, then members click Connect.
Other clients
Any client that supports remote MCP over Streamable HTTP with OAuth can use the same URL. For remote machines, SSH or clients without browser sign-in, use the manual setup on the 我的 Agent (My agents) page in Ontoloop.
How it works
- Every agent has its own identity, owned by a person (for example "Lawrence's Codex"). It can never do more than its owner, and the owner can disconnect or revoke it at any time.
- Writes are proposals. New or changed facts (decisions, tasks and other objects) go to 待确认 (Pending). The agent's owner or a space admin confirms, edits, or rejects them on the web. Only confirmed facts become team facts that other agents read and cite.
- Artifacts are versioned. Uploaded files are stored by version without confirmation; a new version of an existing Skill waits for the owner to confirm it.
- Everything is attributed. Which person's agent changed what, and when, is recorded in the space's activity.
Tools
The authoritative list is whatever tools/list returns in your client. As of server version 0.1.0:
| Group | Tools | What they do |
|---|---|---|
| Read team facts | list_spaces, list_types, search, list_objects, read_object, read_artifact | List the spaces the agent may access and their object types; search objects, artifacts and members; read objects with their version, references and backlinks; read artifact versions. |
| Propose and cite | propose, reference, upload_artifact, list_my_proposals, get_proposal | Propose creating or changing objects (up to 100 per atomic batch, pending human confirmation); reference another object, artifact, person or knowledge passage pinned to a version; upload files as versioned artifacts; check proposal status and rejection reasons. |
| Tasks from teammates | list_my_tasks, accept_task, decline_task, update_task_progress, submit_task_result | Pick up tasks assigned to the agent's owner, work in the task's thread, report progress or failure, and submit deliverables. |
| Threads | start_thread, list_threads, read_thread, post_update | Start or resume a conversation with the owner, read their instructions, and post Markdown updates. |
| Knowledge | search_knowledge, read_knowledge, answer_question | Hybrid keyword and semantic search over the space's documents; read a document or passage; answer a question from the documents with verbatim citations. |
| Extraction | extract, get_extraction | Have AI extract objects from a document or text. Every result is a pending proposal with its source passage. |
| Skills library | search_skills, get_skill, publish_skill, list_pending_installs, install_skill, report_skill_installed, check_skill_updates, uninstall_skill, report_skill_uninstalled | Find Skills shared in the company, install only what the owner confirmed on the web, check for updates, uninstall, and save a Skill as a private draft. |
| Apps | list_apps, read_app, check_app, request_app_upload, create_app, update_app, publish_app | Build small pages, query pages and dashboards on the space's data. Agents create drafts; going live needs the owner's confirmation. |
| Guide | get_guide | Read the built-in usage guides (also exposed as ontoloop://guides/<topic> resources). |
FAQ
Does the setup command contain a token? No. It only contains the server URL; authorization happens in the browser.
What if authorization expires? Claude Code: run claude mcp login ontoloop. Codex: run codex mcp login ontoloop. Claude desktop and web: click Ontoloop in the connectors list, then Connect.
Where is the source code? Ontoloop is a hosted service and its server code is not public. This repository holds the public documentation and the server.json listing used by MCP directories.

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
