AI assistants (MCP)
Connect Claude, Cursor and other AI assistants to your workspace.
Firebeam has an MCP server: the open standard AI assistants use to read data from other tools. Connect it to Claude, Cursor or any assistant that supports MCP, and you can ask about your projects right where you already work. The connection is read-only, it can never change anything in Firebeam, and it uses none of your Firebeam AI actions: your own assistant does the thinking.
What it does
Your assistant gets a set of tools it can call when a question needs Firebeam data: a plain-text delivery snapshot of the whole workspace, the list of projects, the portfolio numbers, blocked and stale work, ticket search, recent alerts and the investment balance. It decides which to call; you just ask.
Creating an API key
An admin creates a key under Company settings, API keys (MCP). Give it a name that says where it is used, such as "Claude Desktop". The full key is shown once, straight after you create it; Firebeam keeps only a fingerprint of it, so copy it then.
Connecting Claude, Cursor and others
Right after creating a key, Copy config gives you a ready-made MCP server entry with the Firebeam address and your key. Paste it into your assistant's MCP settings (for example the MCP servers section of Claude or Cursor) and restart the assistant. Any client that supports MCP over HTTP with a bearer token works the same way.
What your assistant can read
A key reads the whole workspace, like an admin would: every project, the synced tickets, forecasts, scope health, flow and workspace alerts. Personal alerts and other people's pulse answers are never included. Nothing can be created, changed or deleted through it.
Security and limits
Only admins can create keys. Each key allows up to 120 requests a minute, and keys stop working if the workspace has no active plan. Firebeam never stores the key itself, only a fingerprint used to recognise it.
Revoking a key
Remove a key from the list and it stops working immediately, for anything that uses it. The list shows when each key was last used, which helps you spot keys nobody needs any more.
