We always get asked these questions
What does MCP mean?
MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, an open standard that lets AI assistants securely connect to external systems. Instead of every company building its own one-off integration, MCP gives AI assistants a common way to access data and take supported actions across connected systems.
What is the Betterworks MCP Server?
The Betterworks MCP Server connects AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and other MCP-compatible tools directly to Betterworks using the MCP standard. Users can ask questions about performance data and make supported updates in Betterworks natively from their AI assistant of choice — no need to switch to the Betterworks UI.
What AI assistants does Betterworks MCP work with?
Betterworks MCP works with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and any other MCP-compatible AI tool, including custom-built agents.
How does Betterworks MCP protect performance data?
Betterworks MCP uses existing Betterworks authentication and permissions. Users sign in with their Betterworks credentials, including SSO/SAML where configured, and the MCP Server enforces Betterworks’ native permission model so users can only access or modify information they’re authorized to work with. Supported write actions require explicit user confirmation before changes are made in Betterworks.
How does the MCP compare to an API?
Both are supported ways to connect to Betterworks — they just serve different needs. The API is built for developers creating custom integrations. MCP is built for AI assistants, offering a standardized connection that works immediately without any custom development.
Is the Betterworks MCP read-only?
No. In addition to reading Betterworks data, the MCP can now support write actions for goals, including creating goals, updating goals, and posting comments on goals. Write actions require explicit user confirmation before changes are made in Betterworks.
