# Enable the JFrog MCP Server

Enable JFrog MCP Server on the JFrog Platform so your team can connect supported AI clients and optionally use experimental Beta tools.

A Platform Admin must enable the [JFrog MCP Server](/docs/jfrog-mcp-server) for all users in the subscription.

## How to enable the JFrog MCP Server

1. Log in to your JFrog Platform as the Platform Admin.

   The main Platform module appears.

2. From the **Platform** module, click **Integrations**.

3. In the Integrations table, click the **JFrog MCP Server** integration, and then click **Set Up**.

4. (Optional) To use experimental tools, select **Enable Beta Tools**.

5. Complete the setup.

   The dialog box displays the URL of the MCP Server on the JPD:

   ```text
   https://<JFROG_PLATFORM_URL>/mcp
   ```

   Where:

   * `<JFROG_PLATFORM_URL>`: Your JFrog Platform Deployment (JPD) base URL

   For example:

   ```text
   https://company.jfrog.io/mcp
   ```

6. Copy the URL. Use it to [add the JFrog MCP Server to an MCP client](/docs/add-the-jfrog-mcp-server-to-an-mcp-client).

For experimental tool availability after setup, see [Manage the JFrog MCP Server](/docs/manage-the-jfrog-mcp-server) and [Beta Tools](/docs/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.

## Frequently Asked Questions

This section provides answers to frequently asked questions about enabling JFrog MCP Server.

<Accordion title="FAQs" icon="plus">
  ##### Q: How do I enable JFrog MCP Server for my JPD?

  **A:** Sign in as a Platform Admin, open **Integrations**, select **JFrog MCP Server**, and complete **Set Up**. Follow the numbered steps in [How to enable the JFrog MCP Server](#how-to-enable-the-jfrog-mcp-server).

  ##### Q: What permissions do I need before I enable JFrog MCP Server?

  **A:** You must be a Platform Admin for the subscription. Without that role, the Integrations setup for JFrog MCP Server is not available.

  ##### Q: What is the difference between enabling the server and enabling Beta tools?

  **A:** Enabling the server turns on JFrog MCP Server for the JPD. Selecting **Enable Beta Tools** during setup also exposes experimental tools; you can change that later in [Manage the JFrog MCP Server](/docs/manage-the-jfrog-mcp-server).

  ##### Q: What happens if I skip Enable Beta Tools during setup?

  **A:** The MCP Server still becomes available with generally available tools. Experimental tools stay unavailable until a Platform Admin enables them as described in [How to enable the JFrog MCP Server](#how-to-enable-the-jfrog-mcp-server) or [Manage the JFrog MCP Server](/docs/manage-the-jfrog-mcp-server).

  ##### Q: Can I also connect an IDE after I enable the server?

  **A:** Yes. Copy the `https://<JFROG_PLATFORM_URL>/mcp` URL from setup, then [add the JFrog MCP Server to an MCP client](/docs/add-the-jfrog-mcp-server-to-an-mcp-client).
