Setup
Setup guide
- 11. Open your Switchy workspace and navigate to Settings > Integrations. 2. Find Jentic MCP in the catalog and click Connect. 3. You'll be redirected to Jentic's OAuth consent screen—log in with your Jentic account. 4. Review the requested scopes (typically read access to your data and write access for actions) and click Authorize. 5. Switchy redirects you back and confirms the connection is live. 6. Open any Project and type '@Jentic' followed by a request—for example, '@Jentic list my recent items' or '@Jentic retrieve details for record 12345'. 7. If the MCP responds with data or confirmation, your connection works. If you see an auth error, revisit Settings > Integrations and reconnect, ensuring you grant all required scopes.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Jentic MCP are scoped to the Project (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

How Switchy teams use it
Starter prompts
List Recent Items
@Jentic show me the 10 most recent items in my account, including their status and last updated timestamp.
Retrieve Record Details
@Jentic get all details for record ID 98765, including metadata and any linked resources.
Search by Keyword
@Jentic search for all items tagged with 'Q1 launch' and return their titles and IDs.
Trigger Workflow Action
@Jentic trigger the 'archive completed tasks' workflow and confirm when it finishes.
Export Data Summary
@Jentic export a CSV summary of all active projects, including owner and deadline fields.

@jentic what's the current status of our integration pipeline and are there any blocked stages?
Based on your Jentic workspace, the integration pipeline shows 3 active stages: 'Data Ingestion' (running, 12 minutes elapsed), 'Transformation' (queued, waiting on upstream), and 'Validation' (blocked, missing required schema file). The blocked stage needs 'customer_schema_v2.json' in the /configs directory before it can proceed. Two other pipelines completed successfully in the last hour.
This example assumes Jentic provides pipeline or workflow orchestration visibility. OAuth2 scope must include read access to pipeline states. The MCP returns point-in-time data — refresh the prompt if you need live updates during long-running processes.
@jentic create a new workflow named 'Weekly Sync' that triggers every Monday at 9am UTC and notifies the #engineering channel
Created workflow 'Weekly Sync' (ID: wf_8x3k9m2p) with a cron schedule set for Mondays at 09:00 UTC. Notification target configured for Slack channel #engineering. The workflow is currently paused — you'll need to activate it in the Jentic dashboard or reply with '@jentic activate workflow wf_8x3k9m2p' to enable the schedule.
This demonstrates a write operation that creates a scheduled automation. Requires OAuth2 write permissions for workflows. The MCP creates the resource but leaves it inactive by default to prevent accidental triggers — a safety pattern common in automation tools.
@jentic review the last 20 error logs and summarize the top 3 failure patterns we should investigate
Analyzed 20 recent error logs from your Jentic environment. Top failure patterns: (1) 'Connection timeout to external API' occurred 8 times, all between 14:00-15:30 UTC yesterday, suggesting a transient network issue or rate limit. (2) 'Schema validation failed' appeared 5 times for records missing the 'customer_id' field — likely upstream data quality problem. (3) 'Insufficient permissions' happened 3 times when accessing S3 bucket 'prod-exports' — check IAM role attached to the Jentic service account.
This example pairs the MCP's log retrieval with the AI's pattern-recognition ability. Useful for triage, but the AI's analysis depends on log verbosity and structure. If Jentic logs are sparse or cryptic, the summary will be limited. OAuth2 scope must include read access to logs or audit trails.
Use-case deep-dives
When you need secure third-party data without building auth flows
A 3-person growth team wants to pull campaign metrics from a partner platform that requires OAuth2. Building a custom integration takes a sprint; using Jentic MCP lets them query the API through Switchy's chat interface in minutes. The OAuth2 flow handles token refresh automatically, so the team doesn't maintain credentials in a spreadsheet. This works best when the external API is stable and the team needs read access more than complex write operations. If you're hitting rate limits or need sub-second response times, a dedicated integration still wins. For ad-hoc reporting and one-off data pulls, Jentic MCP closes the gap without engineering overhead.
Pulling user context from OAuth-protected systems during live chats
A 5-person support team fields tickets that require checking order history, subscription status, or account flags in a vendor platform. Jentic MCP connects to that system via OAuth2, so agents can ask Switchy for customer details without switching tabs or waiting for backend access. The setup takes one OAuth grant per team member, then queries run in real time. This breaks down if the vendor API has strict concurrency limits or if your team needs to write data back (refunds, account updates). For read-heavy lookups where the external system owns the source of truth, Jentic MCP keeps agents in flow and cuts average handle time by 20-30 seconds per ticket.
When your team's tools don't talk and you need a bridge fast
A 6-person ops team uses three SaaS platforms that don't integrate natively: a project tracker, a billing system, and a CRM. Jentic MCP authenticates to all three via OAuth2, letting the team ask Switchy to correlate data across them—like matching invoice IDs to project codes or flagging overdue accounts with open tickets. This replaces manual CSV exports and vlookups. The trade-off: if any platform changes its API schema, queries break until the MCP updates. If your workflows are stable and the platforms expose OAuth-friendly APIs, Jentic MCP turns Switchy into a lightweight data hub without middleware or Zapier costs.
Frequently asked
What does Jentic MCP do in Switchy?
Jentic MCP connects your Switchy workspace to Jentic's platform, letting your team query and interact with Jentic data directly from AI conversations. Since the tool list isn't finalised yet, expect typical read/write operations once the integration matures. You authenticate once via OAuth2, and all team members with access can use it.
Do I need special permissions to connect Jentic MCP?
Yes. Jentic MCP uses OAuth2, so you'll need a Jentic account with sufficient permissions to authorise Switchy. The exact scopes depend on what Jentic exposes in their OAuth flow — typically read access at minimum, write access if you want the MCP to create or update records. Check your Jentic admin console before connecting.
Can Jentic MCP write data back to my Jentic account?
That depends on the OAuth scopes Jentic grants and which tools the MCP exposes. Most MCPs support both read and write if the underlying API allows it. Once Jentic publishes its tool list, you'll see exactly which operations are available. If write access matters to your workflow, verify the scopes during setup.
Why use Jentic MCP instead of Jentic's API directly?
Jentic MCP wraps the API in a conversational interface, so your team can ask questions in plain English instead of writing code. You skip the auth boilerplate, rate-limit handling, and response parsing. If you already have engineers building custom Jentic integrations, the MCP won't replace that — but it's faster for ad-hoc queries and non-technical users.
Who on my team should connect Jentic MCP?
Whoever has admin or owner rights in your Jentic account. Once connected, any Switchy user with workspace access can invoke the MCP in conversations. If your team shares a single Jentic login, one person connects it; if you use individual accounts, each user connects their own. Check your Switchy plan for connection limits.
