## MCP Connections

:::note Hosted server only
This page tracks connections made through the **hosted MCP server** (`https://mcp.pubnub.com`) using OAuth. If you're using the [locally installed server](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/ai/pubnub-mcp-server), connections are authenticated via API key and do not appear here.
:::

The **MCP Connections** page shows all Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients connected to your PubNub account. Connections expire one month after creation. MCP clients are AI-powered development tools like Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, and others that can interact with PubNub on your behalf using the [PubNub MCP Server](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/ai/pubnub-mcp-server).

To access MCP Connections, click **Profile settings** in the account menu, then select **MCP Connections** from the sidebar.

### View active connections

The MCP Connections page displays a table of all active connections:

| Column | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Organization name** | The PubNub organization the client has access to |
| **MCP Client** | The connected client name and Client ID |
| **Created** | When the connection was established |
| **Expiration** | When the connection expires |
| **Remove** | Action to revoke the connection |

:::note Connection expiration
MCP connections automatically expire one month after creation. To continue using the MCP client, you'll need to reauthenticate when prompted.
:::

### Revoke a connection

To revoke an MCP client's access:

1. Navigate to Profile settings → MCP Connections.
2. Find the connection you want to revoke in the table.
3. Click Remove in the rightmost column.
4. Confirm the revocation when prompted.

The MCP client will immediately lose access to your PubNub account. You can reauthorize the client at any time by going through the OAuth flow again.

### MCP Connection Access

:::note Account administrators only
This setting is only available to Account Admins.
:::

Account administrators can enable or disable MCP access for the entire organization. When disabled, no users in the organization can authorize new MCP clients.

To manage MCP connection access:

1. Navigate to Organization settings.
2. Find the MCP connection access section.
3. Toggle Allow MCP connections for all clients to enable or disable MCP access.
4. If disabling, confirm your choice in the confirmation dialog.

When MCP access is disabled:

* Existing MCP connections will be rejected by PubNub APIs.
* New OAuth authorizations for MCP clients are blocked.
* The organization won't appear in the account selection screen during OAuth authorization.

:::note Locally installed server unaffected
This setting only controls OAuth-based connections from the hosted server. The [locally installed MCP server](https://www.pubnub.com/docs/ai/pubnub-mcp-server) authenticates using an API key and is not affected by this setting.

## Members and roles

### Invite a member

2. Select **Organization settings** from the dropdown.

:::note Personal vs. organization accounts When a member accepts your invitation, they can switch between their personal account and your organization using the dropdown on the Homepage. Any role restrictions you assign apply only to their account within your organization, not their personal account. :::

### Role permissions

Member roles control access and permissions in your account. Each role enables specific tasks and features.

:::note Account Owner Every organization has one **Account Owner** — the user who created the organization. This is a permanent designation that cannot be removed or reassigned. The Account Owner has the same full access as an Account Admin and cannot be invited or managed through the Members tab. :::
