# Model Context Protocol (MCP)

> Let your AI Agents interact with Opal by using our MCP server.

<Note>
  As of May 26, 2026, Opal has moved to **self-hosted MCPs**. Any previously
  Gram-hosted MCPs are no longer maintained — please update your configurations
  accordingly.
</Note>

Opal hosts our own specialized [Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/introduction) that allow your AI agents to interact with Opal through Opal's REST API.

<Info>
  Self-hosted Opal deployments can host MCP servers as of version v1.1135.0.
</Info>

With these MCP servers, AI assistants can help you manage access through natural language. Natural language queries include *"Show me all users in the Engineering
group."*, *"Create an access request for the Production database."*, *"What access changes happened to our AWS resources this week?"*

Opal provides three specialized MCP servers, each designed for specialized end user or admin use cases.
