The Conductor remote Model Context Protocol (MCP) connector in Optimizely Agent Platform brings AI search intelligence directly into Agent Platform. Use it to monitor your brand's visibility and citation share across AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. Also use it to identify where competitors are outranking you so Mark can help you act on those gaps.

**Note**

The Conductor remote MCP is managed by Conductor. For details, see [What data is available in Conductor's MCP?](https://www.conductor.com/docs/mcp/what-data-is-available-in-conductors-mcp/) in the Conductor documentation.
:::

First, an [Agent Platform administrator](docId\:pe0pbUJveWrG8ewvZWDRE) must [Add Conductor Remote MCP to Agent Platform](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja). After adding the MCP server, individual Agent Platform [users](docId\:L0Ntt9JQmG6fQIJK_Y7C7) and [agent builders](docId\:HOJ_6dibwNf8Qz7WMIDie) can log in to Conductor to access their information from Agent Platform. Administrators only need to add the Conductor Remote MCP once.

## Connect the Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**

The first person to connect a third-party service to Agent Platform should be an administrator of that service. Administrator access installs the complete set of tools, so Agent Platform adds every available tool. If a non-administrator connects the service first, Agent Platform installs only the tools that account can access.
:::

Agent Platform administrators connect and grant access to Conductor from Agent Platform. After granting access, administrators select which tools to enable in Agent Platform and optionally customize their display names.

### Add Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform

As an Agent Platform administrator, complete the following steps:

1. Go to **Connectors** in Agent Platform.
2. (Optional) Enter *Conductor* in the search bar to filter the connectors list.
3. Click **Connect** on the **Conductor** tile.

4. Log in to your Conductor account.

5. Configure the connector.
6. Click **Accept**.

A confirmation message displays and you can close the pop-up window.

## Configure Agent Platform tools

After [adding the Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja), Mark prompts you to select which tools to enable and optionally customize their display names.

As an Agent Platform administrator, complete the following steps:

1. Deselect any tools you do not want to add to Agent Platform.
2. (Optional) Update any tool's display name.
3. Click **Finish**.

The Conductor tile displays **Connect** on the **Connectors** tab for Agent Platform users to authenticate with their personal accounts.

To update the available tools or names, see [Update tools](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja).

## Authenticate with Conductor

Each Agent Platform user and agent builder logs in to Conductor individually to access their Conductor data from Agent Platform. User-level authentication ensures you access only the data your Conductor account is authorized to view.

:::hint{type="info"}
**Note**

Before you begin, confirm that an Agent Platform administrator has *connected the Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform*. Until an administrator connects it, the Conductor tile displays **Contact admin** instead of **Connect** and you cannot select it.
:::

To authenticate, complete the following steps in Agent Platform:

1. Go to **Connectors**.
2. (Optional) Enter *Conductor* in the search bar to filter the connectors list.
3. Click **Connect** on the **Conductor** tile.
4. Log in to Conductor.

After you log in to Conductor, the Conductor connector tools your administrator added become available in [Mark chat](docId\:dtNBEttEGVvkhNkwNypLM), [agents](docId\:w7MSVijPnuFqu4nXDo_bq), and [workflows](docId:2HD0fUsIsfdek516VtN9l).

## Conductor connector tools

The Conductor connector tools are available in Agent Platform after an administrator connects the Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform and you log in to Conductor. The available tools depend on which tools your administrator enabled. For a full list of available tools and actions, see [What data is available in Conductor's MCP? ](https://www.conductor.com/docs/mcp/what-data-is-available-in-conductors-mcp/)in the Conductor documentation.

## Update tools

To rename, add, or remove tools, an Agent Platform administrator must delete the Conductor tools registry and re-add it. To do so, complete the following steps:

1. Follow the steps in [Delete a tool registry](docId\:SXjD3qqg-0gS2g4KajfyO).
2. [Add Conductor remote MCP to Agent Platform](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja).
3. [Configure Agent Platform tools](docId\:eawve1PyJTZm_7Ab8pBja).
