Sherweb Platform MCP Server
RemoteAbout Sherweb Platform MCP Server
Sherweb Platform MCP Server exposes Cumulus capabilities through Sherweb internal APIs. It is intended for agents managing platform operations, with OpenID Connect authentication and consent controls for read and write actions.
Key features
- 01Expose Cumulus tools, prompts, and resources
- 02Authenticate with OpenID Connect
- 03Support authorization code with PKCE and client credentials
- 04Request read consent once per session
- 05Request consent for each write execution
Use cases
- 01Discovering Cumulus capabilities from an agent
- 02Authenticating platform requests
- 03Reviewing and approving read or write actions
MCP support
The MCP server provides Cumulus tools, prompts, and resources over streamable HTTP for MCP clients. Authentication uses OpenID Connect, and the server implements consent checks for read and write operations.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Overview
This is the MCP server exposing Cumulus MCP tools, prompts (templates) and resources, leveraging Sherweb internal APIs.
Usage
Connect to the MCP server URI at https://mcp.sherweb.com for streamable HTTP transport. Tools can then be discovered by the agent when prompting in natural language. Prompt templates can also be used with slash commands. Follow the steps in this knowledge base article for a successful journey.
Authentication
The authentication uses OpenID Connect with either the authorization code with PKCE flow or the client credentials flow. See the protected resource document for details.
Caution
It is important to understand the MCP server performs requests in the backend on behalf of authenticated entity (user or client depending on the flow) and when operations are audited (usually non-readonly tool methods)
Consent
Consent is a key principle of the MCP specification, so human oversight (aka human-in-the-loop or HITL) is maintained. Usually, managing consent is an MCP client responsibility, but it is implemented in this server also, with the following variants:
- for read operations, the consent is asked once per session and scoped for all read-only tools
- for update (write) operations, the consent is asked for every tool for every execution (this may seem to hinder the UX, but increases user control over the AI agent).
Comments
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.
