Description

Research Assistant

Outlook plus Confluence search/read tools. No send, delete, or page-write actions. Good for analysts and product teams.

Compliance Review

Internal policy and document retrieval. Designed for traceable Q&A without external write paths.

Advisor Workbench

Market data, CRM read context, and email search. Blocks trading, write, or send tools unless separately approved.

Engineering Helper

Internal docs, runbooks, and tickets for developer assistants such as Cursor. Avoids production mutation tools by default.

Operational Guarantees

Guarantee

Detail

Resilient downstream calls

The hub pools downstream connections per user, bounds tool calls with timeouts, and uses circuit breakers to protect against unhealthy origins.

Fast change propagation

Administrative changes such as disabling a tool, unpublishing a server, or rotating credentials take effect across the running hub quickly.

Automatic token refresh

When a downstream credential expires, the hub refreshes it transparently before falling back to a full user re-authentication.

Required OAuth

Customer-facing virtual servers should require OAuth so every tool call is bound to an authenticated user identity.

Future Product Capabilities

Capability

Detail

Unique as an MCP origin

Expose Unique capabilities such as internal search, web search, SWOT analysis, deep research, and sub-agents as tools that can be packaged into any virtual server.

Tool display and packaging

Configurable tool display names, custom virtual server paths, and the ability to edit a virtual server over its lifetime.

DLP tiers

A default DLP baseline, the customer's own DLP policy, and the ability to plug in a custom DLP module.

MCP UI passthrough

Pass rich cards, forms, and interactive components from origin servers to clients that render MCP UI, with a text fallback for clients that do not.

Use stable slugs, keep virtual servers narrow rather than broad, require OAuth for customer-facing servers, and document the owner and intended audience for every virtual server.
