Questions

How does LuumenAI connect to Candid MCP?

Authorize once with OAuth 2.0. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

Can LuumenAI change things in Candid MCP on its own?

This connection exposes write actions such as current date, identify locations, identify mentioned organizations, knowledge resources, and more. For connected tools, admins configure which actions may run automatically and which require approval, within the access granted to the user. Review the configured approval policy before enabling write access.

Who gets access to the integration?

You decide. Actions are granted per agent, skill, and team, and per environment — production is not staging. Read access can be broad while writes stay narrow.

Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Candid MCP — read or write, approved or declined — is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result, and can be linked to the ticket or change record.
