## About MCP Server Console

-   Unify the MCP Server creation process by embedding OAuth Client registration directly within the MCP Server Console wizard. This eliminates the need for users to switch contexts between multiple consoles.
-   Enable administrators to configure annotations across all supported tool types. Annotations will be included in the tools/list response per MCP specification, allowing MCP clients like Claude to apply correct permission policies.
-   Get started with the preconfigured Quickstart Server for looking up and summarizing incident and case records.
-   Create MCP apps to implement and manage interactive interfaces for your tools that can be displayed by MCP clients.
-   Integrate third-party identity provider \(IDP\) with MCP server to support users authentication through a third-party \(IDP\).
-   Create MCP Server Console servers and tools based on various categories including Now Assist skills for different use cases.
-   Connect to any MCP Server Console client using OAuth 2.0 authentication.
