AppControler MCP & API setup guides
AppControler exposes your workspace's AI-tool inventory as an MCP server and a REST API. Connect an assistant and ask things like “list every high-risk AI app connected to our workspace” or “which contract act-by dates are coming up?” — or automate the same answers with n8n and Zapier.

Two ways to connect — both hit the same tools
- OAuth sign-in — for Claude and ChatGPT custom connectors. Click connect, sign in to AppControler in the browser, approve once. No keys to copy.
- MCP API key — for clients that let you set a header directly (Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code) and for workflow tools like n8n and Zapier. Create a key in Integrations → MCP / API keys and send it as

| list_ai_apps | List every app discovered in the workspace, filtered by risk, policy, or AI-only |
| get_app_users | See who authorized a specific app with company sign-in |
| get_policy_summary | Policy mode plus approve / review / block counts |
| list_upcoming_act_bys | Contract notice dates and act-by windows coming up |
| set_app_policy | Approve, review-flag, or block an app |
| get_sync_status | When the last workspace discovery sync ran |
