Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect any MCP-compliant AI assistant to Elium via OAuth, with permissions and citations preserved.
About this integration
Connect any AI assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to Elium. Elium supports MCP, so tools like ChatGPT and Claude can search your knowledge base directly in a conversation. Every request runs as the signed-in user, so an assistant only sees what that person is allowed to see. Nothing is exported or copied. Answers read live content and cite their source.
What you get
One connection for every assistant
Any MCP-compatible AI tool connects through a single secure connection.
Permissions respected
Each request runs as the signed-in user and sees only their content.
Live, cited answers
Assistants read up-to-date content and link back to the source.
Common questions
Can ChatGPT and Claude answer from our Elium content?
Yes. Elium supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open standard those assistants use to reach data held elsewhere. Once an administrator has connected them, the assistant searches your spaces and reads articles while you chat.
Can an assistant see content the person is not allowed to open?
No. Every request runs with the permissions of the person who signed in, so an assistant only reaches what that person could already open in Elium.
Can a connected assistant change anything in Elium?
No. The connection is read-only. It offers five actions: find relevant articles, find specific ones, read an article, list spaces and list templates. Nothing can be created, edited or deleted.
What happens with very long articles?
Articles longer than about 15,000 characters are shortened, and the assistant is given a link to read the full version in Elium.
