eXo MCP server: expose workplace tools to AI agents with OAuth (www.exoplatform.com)

eXo has announced the launch of the eXo MCP server, enabling organizations to integrate external AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT with its Platform, enhancing its existing AI capabilities that facilitate writing, searching, and organizing information within workplace tools. By using the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the eXo MCP server exposes nearly 100 secure tools across collaboration, knowledge, and productivity workflows, allowing AI agents to interact with business systems in a more operational manner—transforming them from mere request-response systems to proactive assistants capable of executing tasks and automating multi-system workflows. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it emphasizes a shift towards Controlled AI, ensuring that while AI can access and manipulate business workflows effectively, robust security and governance measures are in place. Using OAuth for authentication, users maintain control over what external assistants can access, ensuring compliance with organizational security policies. This dual approach—combining embedded AI directly within the eXo Platform and external AI capabilities through MCP—provides organizations with the flexibility to choose their preferred AI ecosystems while retaining a secure and central collaboration hub. Overall, the eXo MCP server represents a significant advancement in the integration of AI into daily business operations.
