# Set Up MCP Hub

1 min read

## The Connectors Workspace  
The MCP Hub is managed from the **Connectors** workspace in the Unique admin app. Administrators register origin MCP servers, package them into virtual servers, and govern what is exposed to AI clients.

**Feature-flagged access control.** Delegated MCP Server Admins and selected-space restrictions are available only when `FEATURE_FLAG_ENABLE_MCP_ACCESS_CONTROL_UN_20854` is enabled for the tenant. When the flag is disabled, use the standard tenant-admin setup flow.

## Administrator Setup  
1. **Add a server or virtual server.** Open _Add an MCP connector_. Choose _Connect a server_ to register a new origin MCP server, or _Create a virtual server_ to package an MCP endpoint from already-approved origins.

2. **Register an origin server.** Provide the server URL and authorize it. The hub completes OAuth discovery and pulls the available tools into the catalog.

3. **Assign MCP server admins.** Optional, only if access control is enabled. Select users that can manage the MCP server, including authentication, tool management and space limiting.

4. **Review tools and prompts.** Enable or disable individual tools and add an optional system prompt that guides agents on how to use the server safely.

5. **Limit to selected spaces.** Optional, only if access control is enabled. Select Spaces that should have access to invoke the tools of the MCP server.

6. **Create the virtual server.** Give it a clear name and description. The hub generates a stable MCP endpoint URL that AI clients will use.

7. **Assign tools.** Pick the tools from approved origins that should be exposed by this virtual server. Favor narrow, role-specific sets.

8. **Publish.** Enable the virtual server. It becomes discoverable to external MCP clients immediately.
