Connect an AI tool, such as Theta Assist or Claude, to Glasstrail to search and summarise findings, review scan information, and update findings through a conversation.
\nThe connection uses Model Context Protocol (MCP). Your AI tool acts on your behalf and can only access the organisations and actions your Glasstrail permissions allow.
\nYou need:
\nAI agent access is off by default. Connecting an AI tool does not give you additional Glasstrail permissions.
\nFor account admins
\nChanges apply immediately. Members can then connect their own AI tools, using their existing Glasstrail permissions.
\nNote: Allowing an organisation does not give every member access to it. Each member’s existing permissions still apply.
\n\n
\n
The connection steps depend on your AI tool.
\nYour connection can have:
\nWrite access does not override your role or the rules that apply in Glasstrail.
\nConnect Claude Code to Glasstrail to search and work with your findings through a conversation. Claude Code uses your Glasstrail permissions and the access you approve when connecting.
\nAsk your Glasstrail account admin to enable AI agent access for your account and the organisations you need.
\nIn Claude Code, enter /mcp, then select MCP servers.
In the MCP servers window, select Add server. You may need to scroll to find it.
\nComplete the Add MCP server form:
\nglasstrail.https://app.glasstrail.com/mcp.Select Add server.
\nClaude Code confirms that Glasstrail has been added and will be available in new sessions.
\nStart a new Claude Code session, then enter /mcp and open MCP servers again.

Select glasstrail in the server list. The Needs Auth status means you still need to sign in and approve the connection.

Select Authenticate to open the sign-in process in your browser.
\n\n
Sign in using your usual Glasstrail sign-in method:
\nIf an access approval page appears, review the requested permissions. Deselect write access if you only want Claude Code to read your data, then approve the connection.
\nWhen your browser shows Authentication successful, close the tab and return to Claude Code.![](\"https://portal.helpfruit.com/api/images/b7ddc16d2555452e0f9808da01de68e4/files/CC%20Auth%20successful.png\")
Try a request such as:
\n“List the Glasstrail organisations I can access.”
\nThen ask about a specific organisation, for example:
\n“Summarise the current findings for [organisation].”
\nFor an assistant already configured with the Glasstrail MCP:

\n
\n
Start by asking your AI tool a question. Include the organisation, domain or finding you want it to use.
\nFor example:
\nThe connection can retrieve findings, comments, activity, scan information and entity details. It can also compare scan results.
\nIf your connection has write access and your Glasstrail permissions allow it, you can ask your AI tool to:
\nFor example: “Add a comment to finding [ID]: ‘Review scheduled for 5 November 2026.’”
\nThe same rules apply as in Glasstrail. For example, changing a finding to Tolerated or Not relevant requires a comment. Read-only members can only edit findings assigned to them.
\nChanges made through a connected tool are attributed to that tool in Glasstrail’s activity trail.
\nCheck which organisation and scan dates the AI tool used. A finding marked as current does not necessarily come from a recent scan.
\nReview important findings and changes in Glasstrail. Starting scans remains a task you complete in Glasstrail, not through the MCP connection.

Open Account > Connected apps in Glasstrail to review AI tools connected by members.
\nThe page shows the member, organisation information, app, allowed actions and connection date.
\nWhat you can see depends on your role:
\nTo remove a connection:
\nDisconnecting stops that connection’s access immediately.

\n
For account admins
\nTo block every AI tool from accessing the account:
\nThe change applies immediately, including to existing connections. It blocks access but does not disconnect the apps.
\nTo exclude one organisation instead, clear that organisation’s checkbox. To remove an individual connection, use Connected apps.
\nAsk an account admin to check that AI agent access is enabled for both the account and the organisation. Also check that your Glasstrail user has access to that organisation.
\nCheck that you approved write access when connecting. Your Glasstrail role and finding permissions must also allow the requested change.
\nAuthentication alone does not guarantee access. An account admin may have blocked AI access or excluded the organisation.
\nCheck the account settings and whether the connection still appears under Connected apps in Glasstrail.
