Start with the overview, then move into MCP concepts, connection guidance, and the security pages your team will want during rollout.

Introduction

Understand what Model Context Protocol is, how Smplify MCP works, and why MCP gives teams a cleaner bridge between AI clients and Smplify operations.

Read Introduction

Reference

Review connection steps, live gateway status, loaded controllers, supported tool families, and what is currently operational in the hosted gateway.

The future of IT operations

Smplify’s API-first architecture becomes more usable when operators can ask for review, remediation planning, and approved actions in natural language through one hosted MCP surface.

Instead of manually stitching together API calls and internal runbooks, teams can connect a trusted client once and then use Smplify MCP to inspect fleet state, answer operational questions, and move into human-approved admin workflows.

The MCP gateway keeps the transport, connection guidance, and hosted controls in one place while each request still runs with the caller’s own bearer token and tenant-scoped permissions.

Lock the iPad named “Front Desk”.
Smplify MCP I found the device named “Front Desk iPad” and locked it successfully using DeviceController.
Which devices have not checked in during the last 7 days?
Smplify MCP I found 12 devices that have not checked in during the last 7 days. I can group them by platform or assigned policy if you want.
Show me the staging laptops missing the latest Wi-Fi profile, but don’t change anything yet.
Smplify MCP Review complete. Three staging laptops are missing wifi-002. I can prepare the exact deployment targets when you are ready.

Architecture and request flow

The hosted gateway supports browser-direct sign-in or existing bearer tokens, generates client configuration locally, and then accepts authenticated MCP calls at the hosted endpoint.

The reference section combines connection guidance, supported surfaces, and security notes so teams can understand the hosted gateway before they connect clients.
