description: 'RudderStack operates an official, centrally hosted remote MCP server at https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp.
  It is an OAuth 2.0 protected resource: an anonymous POST of tools/list returns HTTP 401 invalid_token
  with a WWW-Authenticate challenge pointing at /.well-known/oauth-protected-resource, so the live tool
  schemas require an authenticated introspection this pipeline does not perform. The tool categories below
  are recorded verbatim from RudderStack''s own MCP documentation and from the provider-published rudder-mcp-workflow
  agent skill (skills/rudderstack-rudder-mcp-workflow.md) — names and inputSchemas are NOT reproduced
  because RudderStack does not publish them and its own skill states the client''s discovered tool list
  is the source of truth.'
deployment:
  mode: remote
  endpoint: https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp
  auth: oauth
  verified: probed
  note: Remote only. RudderStack documents `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.rudderstack.com/mcp` for clients
    without native HTTP transport — that is a generic third-party bridge to the same hosted URL, not a
    RudderStack-published stdio server, so it does not make this `both`. A separate first-party stdio
    server does exist for a different product (github.com/rudderlabs/profiles-mcp, the Profiles toolchain);
    it is recorded under `related_servers` below rather than folded into this deployment.

schemas:
  available: false
  reason: tools/list is OAuth-gated. RudderStack publishes tool CATEGORIES in prose, not tool names or
    inputSchemas. Obtaining the real schemas requires an authenticated introspection against a RudderStack
    workspace.
