# ProductNow MCP Server

[![Status](https://status.productnow.ai/badge/v2?variant=outline)](https://status.productnow.ai/)

**Your team's knowledge warehouse.**

ProductNow is the cross-vendor storage layer that joins your tools into one
living knowledge layer that AI can actually use. This hosted Model Context
Protocol (MCP) server makes that knowledge layer available wherever you and your
team already work — through MCP clients that authenticate with OAuth and operate
as the signed-in ProductNow user.

This repository is a public metadata and documentation package for marketplace
submissions. It does not contain the ProductNow application source code or the
MCP server implementation.

## What It Does

ProductNow connects the tools where knowledge already lives and turns that
signal into structured, queryable knowledge — the living picture of your
organization. Through MCP, people and AI agents can search that knowledge
warehouse, curate shareable knowledge packs, and collaborate on documents from
the clients they already use.

The MCP server exposes ProductNow workspace operations to compatible AI clients:

- Search the knowledge warehouse for grounded, citeable evidence excerpts.
- Narrow searches by folder, document creator, or last-edited date range, or
  search ProductNow product help specifically.
- Fetch, create, and iterate on ProductNow documents via draft chat.
- Move drafts into review and participate in comment threads.
- Browse and create folders; import prototypes and allocate media upload slots.
- Curate shareable knowledge packs when the feature is enabled for the org.
- Manage ProductNow help documents when the caller is a ProductNow org member.

See [docs/TOOLS.md](docs/TOOLS.md) and [tools.json](tools.json) for the full
public tool catalog (21 tools).

> **Note:** The tool catalog in this repository was refreshed from the backend
> MCP source on 2026-09-01. The live server's `tools/list` response remains the
> runtime source of truth for connected clients. Some tools are gated by
> organization membership or feature flags and may not appear for every user.

## Quick Start

Use any MCP client that supports remote Streamable HTTP servers and OAuth
discovery.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "productnow": {
      "type": "streamable-http",
      "url": "https://api.productnow-prod.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

When the client first connects, ProductNow returns an OAuth challenge that points
the client to public discovery metadata. The client should complete the browser
login flow and then send the issued bearer token to the MCP endpoint.

See [docs/CLIENT_CONFIGURATION.md](docs/CLIENT_CONFIGURATION.md) for additional
configuration examples.

## Authentication And Discovery

ProductNow supports standard protected-resource discovery for MCP clients:

- MCP endpoint: `https://api.productnow-prod.com/mcp`
- Protected resource metadata:
  `https://api.productnow-prod.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource`
- MCP-specific protected resource metadata:
  `https://api.productnow-prod.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resource/mcp`
- Authorization server metadata redirect:
  `https://api.productnow-prod.com/.well-known/oauth-authorization-server`

Unauthenticated requests receive a `401` response with a `WWW-Authenticate`
challenge containing the protected-resource metadata URL.

See [docs/AUTHENTICATION.md](docs/AUTHENTICATION.md) for details.

## Marketplace Metadata

This repository includes public files commonly used by MCP directories and
marketplaces:

- [server.json](server.json): official MCP Registry metadata.
- [mcp.json](mcp.json): general listing metadata for GitHub-based scrapers.
- [tools.json](tools.json): public tool catalog with safety annotations and
  output-schema availability.
- [.well-known/glama.json](.well-known/glama.json): reference copy of Glama
  ownership metadata. The authoritative copy is served from the ProductNow API
  domain.
- [assets/productnow-icon.png](assets/productnow-icon.png): square icon.
- [assets/productnow-logo.png](assets/productnow-logo.png): full logo.

## Security And Permissions

All tool calls run as the authenticated ProductNow user. ProductNow applies its
normal organization, workspace, document, and comment permissions to MCP
requests. Clients should treat write tools as consequential actions and ask for
user confirmation when appropriate.

See [docs/PRIVACY_AND_PERMISSIONS.md](docs/PRIVACY_AND_PERMISSIONS.md).
