What is the Lydo MCP server?+
The Lydo MCP server is a Streamable HTTP connection that lets MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other agents discover and call approved Lydo tools for Spaces, channels, notes, knowledge, transcripts, and boards.
What can an external agent access?+
Access is scoped to the account, token permissions, Space membership, and Space policy. Read-only tokens are the default. A Space can restrict member AI tools, and write requests normally wait in the Lydo Outbox for human approval.
How do I authenticate?+
Generate a token in Lydo under Settings, Tool Approvals, and AI Tool Access. The token is shown once and should be passed as a bearer token over HTTPS. Revoke it if it is lost or compromised.
Does MCP let an agent bypass Space permissions?+
No. MCP calls run as the connected account and remain subject to token scope, Space membership, admin policy, and approval rules. A connection is a governed front door, not a back door.
