Learn how to connect AI assistants like ChatGPT or Claude to your Slite workspace using the Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI tools interact with your knowledge base.
The MCP feature is currently in beta, please contact support@slite.com if you have any feedback or if you encounter any issues.
What is the Slite MCP?
The Slite MCP lets AI assistants search, retrieve, and create docs in your workspace.
Think of it as giving your AI assistant permission to access to your team's knowledge base, so it can answer questions using your docs and help you create new ones.
It works with any MCP-compatible AI tool like Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and more.
Why use the Slite MCP?
Get instant answers from your docs
Instead of searching through multiple docs yourself, ask your AI assistant and it'll find the answers for you.
Your team spends less time hunting for information and more time using it.
Turn existing knowledge into reusable content
Pull information from across your workspace to create new onboarding guides, customer announcements, or internal reports.
What used to take hours of research and writing now takes minutes.
Work where you already work
Interact with your Slite workspace directly from your favorite AI assistant to avoid context switching.
Example Use Cases
These are example prompts you could send to your AI assistant once the Slite MCP is connected:
"Summarize our Q1 product updates and draft a customer announcement."
"What's our policy on remote work?"
"Draft an onboarding guide using our HR docs."
Setting Up the Slite MCP
The Slite MCP supports OAuth authentication so getting started is easy. You'll just need to add the following URL as a custom MCP connector in your AI assistant’s settings:
Go to Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, then enter the Slite MCP URL above as well as a name. The advanced settings can stay blank.
Sign in to your Slite account and authorize Claude.
For ChatGPT
In the web app, go to Settings > Apps > Advanced Settings, and enable Developer Mode.
Create a new app with the Slite MCP URL.
Select the OAuth authentication option and leave the other fields blank.
Sign in to your Slite account and authorize ChatGPT.
For Other MCP Clients
Add https://api.slite.com/mcp as a remote MCP server URL and complete the OAuth authentication when prompted.

Always allow — Claude can use this tool without prompting you
Needs approval — Claude will ask before using this tool
Blocked — Claude cannot use this tool
