Enable the JFrog MCP Server

A Platform Admin must enable the JFrog MCP Server for all users in the subscription.

How to enable the JFrog MCP Server

Log in to your JFrog Platform as the Platform Admin.

The main Platform module appears.
From the Platform module, click Integrations.
In the Integrations table, click the JFrog MCP Server integration, and then click Set Up.
(Optional) To use experimental tools, select Enable Beta Tools.
Complete the setup.

The dialog box displays the URL of the MCP Server on the JPD:
```
https://<JFROG_PLATFORM_URL>/mcp
```
Where:
- <JFROG_PLATFORM_URL>: Your JFrog Platform Deployment (JPD) base URL
For example:
```
https://company.jfrog.io/mcp
```
Copy the URL. Use it to add the JFrog MCP Server to an MCP client.

For experimental tool availability after setup, see Manage the JFrog MCP Server and Beta Tools.

Usage Responsibility Notice
When integrating the JFrog Platform MCP Server with third-party AI clients or agents, you are responsible for the configuration, management, and auditing of those integrations in accordance with your organization's policies. The behavior of third-party AI agents is governed by the terms and practices of their respective providers, not by JFrog.
We recommend configuring your AI client to operate under least-privilege principles, granting access only to the resources required for your specific workflows. Additionally, we strongly recommend enabling human-in-the-loop approval in your AI client settings, so that explicit user confirmation is required before any tool execution that creates, updates, or deletes resources in your JFrog Platform.
