Verify the connection

After you accept on the approval page, check that your AI tool can talk to Condense.
1

Open your AI tool's chat

Use the chat or prompt window of the AI tool you connected.
2

Ask for your workspaces

3

Check the result

Your AI tool calls the get_all_workspaces tool and shows the workspaces you can access.
A working connection looks like this:
  • Your AI tool calls the Condense tool successfully.
  • The workspaces you can access are listed.
  • Workspaces outside your authorized access are not shown.
Copilot CLI calling get_all_workspaces and showing a table of workspace IDs and names

Copilot CLI listing the workspaces it can reach through Condense MCP.

Some AI tools load a server’s tools only when they need them. You may see your tool search for get_all_workspaces before it calls it. This is normal.

If no tools appear

  • The sign-in did not finish. Run your AI tool’s sign-in step again. In Claude Code, type /mcp, select condense and choose Authenticate. In Gemini CLI, run /mcp auth condense. In Codex, run codex mcp login condense.
  • The URL or the field name is wrong for your AI tool. Check the URL and the setting for your tool in Connect your AI tool.
  • No environment is assigned to your account. The approval page showed No Environments Assigned. Ask your administrator for access.
  • The tool is switched off for you. You see Access denied. Ask your Condense administrator to enable it.

Reconnect or sign in again

If the connection expires, is disconnected, or needs authorizing again:
1

Open your AI tool's MCP settings

Go to the MCP server or integration settings of your AI tool.
2

Find the Condense server

Locate the Condense MCP server you configured.
3

Reconnect

Select the reconnect or authenticate option.
4

Sign in again

Complete the Condense sign-in. You see the approval page again.
5

Verify

Check that the server shows as connected, then ask for your workspaces as above.
How you start the sign-in depends on your AI tool.
  • Claude Code: run /mcp, select condense and choose Authenticate.
  • Claude Desktop and claude.ai: open Settings, then Connectors, and select Connect on the Condense connector.
  • Cursor: open Customize, select the condense server and sign in.
  • GitHub Copilot (VS Code): select Start above the condense entry in .vscode/mcp.json and sign in.
  • Gemini CLI: run /mcp auth condense.
  • OpenAI Codex CLI: run codex mcp login condense.
If an administrator revoked your access or paused the connection, signing in again does not help until your access is restored. See Errors and troubleshooting.
