# IFS MCP Server Connector

## Overview <a href="#overview" id="overview"></a>

IFS Loops now support integration with the IFS MCP Server through the new IFS MCP Server connector.&#x20;

This integration allows you to connect an IFS MCP Server to IFS Loops, retrieve the tools available on the server, and import the tools you need into IFS Loops.&#x20;

Once imported, these tools can be configured and used with your Digital Workers to perform the required operations.&#x20;

### What you can do

With the IFS MCP Server connector, you can:&#x20;

* Connect an IFS MCP Server to IFS Loops.&#x20;
* Retrieve the tools available on your IFS MCP Server.&#x20;
* Review the available tools before importing them.&#x20;
* Import only the tools you need into IFS Loops.&#x20;
* Use the imported tools with your Digital Workers.&#x20;
* Execute MCP Server operations through your Digital Workers.&#x20;

### Prerequisites

Before configuring the integration, make sure you have the following information from your MCP Server:&#x20;

* MCP Server URL&#x20;
* Client ID&#x20;
* Client Secret&#x20;

You should also have access to an IFS Loops environment where you can configure integrations and Digital Workers.
