The TextMine MCP server is a hosted MCP surface for external agent clients. It is separate from Workbench MCP providers.

​
What it exposes

The MCP server is implemented as a thin wrapper over Public API V3. Each MCP tool should map to an existing V3 endpoint rather than adding new business logic in the MCP service. Current tool areas include:
  • Vaults and Vault documents.
  • Document search, create, update, and delete.
  • Reports and report templates.
  • Workflows and workflow catalogs.
  • Agents.
  • Alerts.
  • Team and Vault users.
  • Integrations, provider connection status, provider folder listing, and provider file listing.

​
Import and provider support

TextMine MCP clients can use provider-facing tools where the connected provider supports them. That includes listing integrations, checking provider connection status, listing provider folders or files, and uploading a provider file into Vault through TextMine. This is separate from Workbench’s in-app provider import, but both use the same product concept: external provider files can become TextMine context or TextMine Vault documents.

​
Authentication model

The current MCP service forwards the caller’s Authorization header to Public API. In practice, MCP clients should call the server with a TextMine bearer key so Public API can resolve the real user and organisation. Requests without a valid forwarded bearer are rejected by Public API. Do not rely on a shared service user for user-facing MCP clients.

​
Adding a new MCP tool

Add the Public API V3 endpoint first. Then add a small tool class in the MCP service that implements the MCP tools marker interface, injects the Public API client, and exposes one or more tool methods. Keep provider-specific logic, OAuth flows, database access, validation, and business rules in the API service rather than the MCP service.

​
When to use it

Use the TextMine MCP server when Codex, another LLM client, or an automation needs a direct agent-friendly way to read or act on TextMine data. Use the web app when a human is operating interactively inside Workbench, Vault, Workflows, Playbooks, Records, Scribe, or Legislate.
