# Set up Smartsheet MCP Server

> Connect Smartsheet's hosted MCP server to TrueFoundry with per-user bearer token credentials.

Smartsheet's MCP server lets agents read and update sheets, search workspaces, manage folders, and create discussions. It uses personal access tokens, so each user should supply their own token through TrueFoundry Auth Overrides.

## Prerequisites

* A TrueFoundry account with permission to add MCP servers.
* A Smartsheet Business or Enterprise plan with API access.

## Register in TrueFoundry

Open **MCP Gateway**, click **Add MCP Server**, select **Connect any Remote MCP Server**, and configure:

| Field               | Value                        |
| ------------------- | ---------------------------- |
| **Name**            | `smartsheet`                 |
| **URL**             | `https://mcp.smartsheet.com` |
| **Authentication**  | `API Key`                    |
| **Credential mode** | `Individual Credentials`     |
| **Header name**     | `Authorization`              |
| **Header value**    | `Bearer {{API_KEY}}`         |

Add collaborators and save the server. Users must add their token in the **Auth Overrides** tab before using the server.

## Generate a Smartsheet Token

Each user opens Smartsheet, goes to **Personal Settings** > **API Access**, clicks **Generate new access token**, names it, and copies the token immediately. Paste only the token value into the TrueFoundry auth override.

## Security Notes

Smartsheet personal access tokens inherit the generating user's full permissions and do not provide granular scopes. Review write tools such as row updates before exposing them broadly, and use [Virtual MCP Server](/docs/ai-gateway/mcp/virtual-mcp-server) to publish only the safest tools.
