This page is for agents and bots that run without a person at the keyboard: cloud coding agents, background assistants, scheduled jobs and CI. It lists what works with Graphify today. If something isn’t on this page, assume it isn’t supported yet.

​
The one rule: a person signs in once

The hosted MCP server at https://api.graphify.com/mcp uses OAuth. There is no API key for it.
  • Sign-in is a browser flow (authorization code with PKCE). A person has to finish it once in a browser.
  • Graphify doesn’t offer a device-code flow or a client-credentials flow. An agent can’t sign itself in.
  • After the first sign-in, the client keeps working on its own. It asks for offline_access, gets a refresh token, and refreshes when the access token expires.
  • Each refresh rotates the refresh token. A client that reuses an old one has to sign in again. See How hosted MCP sign-in works.
If you’re an agent and you hit 401, don’t loop. Tell the person which sign-in step to run, then stop. Agents use Graphify lists what to do while you wait.

What works today

​
What doesn’t work yet

  • Copilot’s coding agent and code review on github.com. They only support static header credentials, so they can’t use the hosted OAuth endpoint.
  • Agents that must sign in with no person ever involved. The hosted server has no flow for that.

​
When nobody can sign in

Use open-source Graphify instead. Your own infrastructure holds the graph, and you choose the credentials:

​
Limits to plan for

  • 240 requests a minute per client IP and a 256 KB request body. Back off on 429. See Hosted MCP limits.
  • set_workspace binds a session for 24 hours by default. A bot that runs longer should call list_workspaces to check which workspace is active.
  • The graph reflects the last indexed snapshot of the default branch. See Keep answers fresh.

Agents use Graphify

Connect, pick the right tool, and handle sign-in.
