What Is the Gatekeeper MCP?
The Gatekeeper MCP (Model Context Protocol) allows you to access and manage your Gatekeeper data directly through AI tools and other applications that support MCP. Once connected, you can work with your contracts, vendors, and more without leaving the tool you're working in. The Gatekeeper MCP is compatible with any application that supports MCP server connections, for example, Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT.
Access is based on your Gatekeeper role and permissions. This means users can only see and do what they'd normally have access to in Gatekeeper.
Note: The Gatekeeper MCP is only available on selected plans. Contact your Account Director for more information.
What Can You Do with the Gatekeeper MCP?
With the Gatekeeper MCP you can:
- Find, update, or create contract and vendor records
- List the details of files associated with contracts and vendors
- View workflows, and create or find individual workflow cards
- Create saved views
- Browse categories, entities and teams
For example, you could use Claude to:
- Pull renewal dates and vendor details from Gatekeeper while building a deck ahead of a vendor review meeting.
- Build a contract report for your CFO using live Gatekeeper data.
- Identify all contracts with missing end dates and create a saved view to return to later.
