Connecting an MCP server traditionally requires you to provide the server URL, authentication credentials, OAuth client configuration, and scopes by hand. When the upstream MCP server updates its URL or rotates credentials, those changes have to be applied manually - an error-prone process for teams that are not familiar with MCP internals. The TrueFoundry Managed MCPs catalogue removes that friction. TrueFoundry publishes platform-verified MCP server definitions to a managed catalogue. To provision any listed server, you supply only a Name - the platform handles every URL, authentication detail, scope, and credential, and keeps them up to date as the upstream provider changes.

​
When to use

Use TrueFoundry Managed MCPs when:
  • You want to enable a popular third-party MCP server without setting up an OAuth app or managing tokens yourself.
  • You want consistent, vetted defaults for an MCP server across your organization instead of ad-hoc per-team configuration.
  • You want URL and credential changes from the upstream provider to be picked up automatically.
For everything else - internal services, your own OpenAPI specs, or providers that are not yet in the catalogue - see Getting Started for the other ways to register an MCP server.

​
Add a Managed MCP Server

1

Open the Add MCP Server picker

Navigate to MCP Gateway in the left sidebar and click Add MCP Server. Select Connect TrueFoundry Managed MCPs at the top of the picker.
Add new MCP Server picker showing five entries: Connect TrueFoundry Managed MCPs (Managed), Connect Official Remote MCP Servers, Connect any Remote MCP Server, Create a Hosted STDIO-based MCP Server, and Import from OpenAPI Spec
2

Pick a server from the catalogue

Hover over a card and click + Add to provision that server. The platform creates the MCP server with all required URLs, authentication, scopes, and credentials already set - there are no further fields to fill in for typical providers.

Resolve a name conflict, if one occurs

If you already have an MCP server with the same name, update the Name to something unique and click Add MCP Server.
Add new MCP Server form prefilled with Name 'tavily' and Description 'AI-optimized search for RAG agents.', showing the validation error 'MCP Server with the same name already exists'

​
Authorize the upstream provider

For OAuth-based servers, end users authorize the upstream provider with their own account. For all TrueFoundry Managed MCPs, the redirect URI is: 
https://auth.truefoundry.com/mcp/oauth2/callback
This is TrueFoundry’s centrally managed OAuth callback and is safe to approve. For the full inbound and outbound auth flow, see Authentication and Security.

​
Customize a Managed MCP server

A Managed MCP server behaves like any other MCP server once provisioned. From the server’s detail page you can:
  • Add Collaborators to control who can use or manage the server.
  • Expose a curated subset of tools through a Virtual MCP Server.
