Alta Protect MCP connection
This page last updated: Thursday August 27, 2026.
The Alta Protect Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connects AI-powered code editors directly to the Alta Protect API documentation, delivering instant answers on how to build and complete tasks using the API.
This MCP server is an informational tool for API documentation, not an operational link to Alta Protect. It can answer "how-to" questions, but it cannot execute tasks like running reports, adding users, or changing settings.
Adding a connector
Consult the AI tool documentation on how to add a connector and complete the configuration.
The required URL for the connection:

Testing your MCP configuration
Once you have finished the configuration, follow these steps to verify that your MCP server connection is working:
- Open your AI editor: Launch your preferred environment.
- Start a new chat: Initiate a fresh conversation with the AI assistant.
- Inquire about Alta Protect: Use the sample prompts below to test the assistant’s ability to retrieve and process data.
| Category | Prompts to try |
|---|---|
| General | How do I find out what version my Alta Protect deployment running? How can I create a list of all my sensors and their online/offline status? |
| User management | How do I add a new user? How do I create a report that shows the zones a user has accessed? |
| Zones | How can I view a list of all zones that are currently armed/disarmed? |
