[ MCP SERVER SUMMARY ]
Unblocked MCP server summary
Unblocked MCP gives coding assistants contextual knowledge about your codebase, architecture, and engineering decisions. Bifrost governs access so only approved agents can query institutional knowledge, with full tool-call auditing.
| Property | Details |
|---|---|
| Company | Unblocked |
| Connection type | HTTP |
| Authentication | OAuth or Unblocked API credentials |
| Package or endpoint | Unblocked MCP endpoint |
| Capabilities | Codebase and architecture context, Engineering decision history, Team knowledge retrieval |
| Official documentation | Unblocked MCP documentation |
Before you start
- An Unblocked workspace
- MCP access enabled per Unblocked docs
What you can do with Unblocked
- Onboard agents to internal architecture docs without dumping repos into prompts
- Restrict knowledge tools to internal virtual keys only
- Track which agents queried sensitive engineering context
[ HOW TO CONNECT ]
Connect Unblocked to Bifrost in three steps
Install Bifrost
Start the gateway locally or deploy in your VPC.
npx -y @maximhq/bifrost
Add Unblocked in MCP Gateway
Open MCP Gateway in the Bifrost dashboard, click New MCP Server, and choose HTTP. Or register via the API below.
• Confirm the current MCP URL and auth method in https://docs.getunblocked.com/unblocked-mcp.
• Use OAuth when available so each user inherits Unblocked workspace permissions.
Point clients at Bifrost /mcp
Configure Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code to use your Bifrost endpoint with a virtual key instead of connecting directly to Unblocked.

}'[ WHY BIFROST ]
Run Unblocked through one governed gateway
Access control
Virtual keys, RBAC, and tool allowlists per team or agent.
Cost governance
Attribute MCP tool spend alongside LLM usage in one view.
Observability
Log every tool call with latency, server, and virtual key metadata.
Credential isolation
Upstream secrets stay in the gateway — not on every laptop.
[ FAQ ]
Common questions
What does the Unblocked MCP server do?
Unblocked exposes codebase and architecture context, engineering decision history, team knowledge retrieval to MCP-compatible AI clients. Bifrost connects to it as an upstream MCP client and exposes approved tools through one governed /mcp endpoint.
How does Unblocked authenticate when used with Bifrost?
Unblocked uses OAuth or Unblocked API credentials. Store credentials in Bifrost's environment or credential configuration so they stay at the gateway instead of being copied into every AI client.
Can Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code use Unblocked through Bifrost?
Yes. After registering Unblocked in Bifrost, point any HTTP MCP-compatible client at the Bifrost /mcp endpoint and authenticate with a virtual key. The client sees only the tools allowed for that key.
