Meet the JumpCloud Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server

The majority of organizations (63%) are actively implementing AI and/or piloting AI features within existing tools (53%).

At JumpCloud, we know that AI is becoming an essential part of your daily workflow. But for IT admins, getting AI tools to work with complex APIs and traditional IT management systems can be a frustrating and time-consuming challenge. It’s our calling to simplify IT and help you get the most out of your tools, which is why we’re thrilled to introduce the new JumpCloud MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server.

With the MCP Server, you can finally use natural language to manage and query your JumpCloud environment.

What is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server is a specialized service that acts as a secure intermediary between AI agents and external systems like APIs and databases. It implements an open standard to translate complex, unstructured data and actions into a format that AI can easily understand and utilize. 

An MCP Server’s primary function is to expose a curated set of “tools” to an AI, enabling it to perform real-world tasks and gather data using a universal protocol, without requiring custom integrations for every new application.

JumpCloud MCP Server

JumpCloud MCP Server lets you use simple, human language with your AI, on the AI interface, to automatically manage your IT, like instantly querying a user attribute or getting a security report, without ever having to log into a separate dashboard.

AI-Powered IT Management is Here

With the JumpCloud MCP Server, you gain the ability to perform powerful IT tasks directly within your AI tools. This eliminates the need to switch between dashboards and consoles, enabling you to take action wherever you work. 

This empowers you to:

• Perform a full range of administrative tasks with simple, natural language commands. You can now use your AI tool to manage the entire user lifecycle, from inviting new users to suspending an account. You can also securely reset passwords, unlock accounts, and manage multi-factor authentication (MFA) requirements in a single, fluid step.
• Take direct control of your environment by editing and modifying users, devices, and policies. Whether you need to grant or revoke user access, send security commands to a device, or modify group memberships, you can do it all without ever leaving your AI interface.
• Increase efficiency by managing multiple users and devices in bulk with a single command. The MCP Server allows you to perform bulk actions that would normally require manual scripting, such as adding multiple users to a group or sending commands to a fleet of devices.

Intelligent Reporting & Insights

Accessing the data you need for reporting and auditing shouldn’t be a chore. The MCP Server helps you query your environment for real-time data and intelligent summaries, without complex API calls. With natural language commands, you can:

• Find and view JumpCloud objects like users, admins, devices, groups, and applications instantly. Get a view of who has access to what, which devices are offline, or what applications are in use across your organization.
• Retrieve consolidated data on Directory Insights events and other key metrics. The server turns raw log data into actionable insights, helping you to proactively identify issues and make informed decisions.
• Turn complex queries into simple questions, so you can get the answers you need to make decisions faster than ever. For example, instead of running a complex script to find out if MFA is enforced, you can simply ask your AI agent.

Security and Control by Design

We believe that automation shouldn’t come with a security risk. The JumpCloud MCP Server is built from the ground up with a security-first mindset. It uses org-scoped API keys for granular access control and provides a complete audit trail of every AI-driven action, giving you the confidence to automate sensitive tasks while maintaining full visibility and control.
