Configuration

Control which tools are available through your MCP connection. By default, all tools for your connected platforms are exposed. You can filter by platform or category.

Filtering Tools by Platform

Append query parameters to the MCP URL to limit which platforms are available:

https://api.syncello.io/v1/mcp?platforms=tape,podio

This exposes only Tape and Podio tools. ShareFile and other platforms will not be available.

Tool Visibility Settings

You can configure tool visibility when creating your MCP API key in the dashboard:

  1. Go to Settings → API Keys
  2. Click Create MCP Key or edit an existing key
  3. Use the tool selector to check/uncheck individual tools or entire categories
  4. Save your changes

Tip: Reducing the number of exposed tools can improve AI performance — fewer tools means the AI makes better tool selections.

Security Considerations

  • Create separate MCP keys for different use cases (one for development, one for production)
  • Only expose the tools you actually need
  • Use scopes to further restrict what each key can do
  • Rotate keys periodically
