What if your AI assistant already knew everything in your Waybook? With the Model Context Protocol (MCP), it can.
MCP is an open standard that lets AI tools - like ChatGPT, Copilot, and others - connect directly to your Waybook knowledge base. Instead of copying and pasting information into your AI chat, your assistant can pull from your documented processes, policies, and guides in real time.
That means faster answers, grounded in your team's actual knowledge - not generic AI responses.
Can I get early access?
MCP is currently in early access alpha. It's available for Pro plan teams and is not yet generally available. If you'd like to try it out, reach out to your Account Manager or drop us a message.
What is MCP?
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a way for AI tools to securely read information from external sources - in this case, your Waybook. Think of it as giving your AI assistant a direct line to your team's single source of truth.
Once connected, you can ask your AI tool questions and it will use your Waybook content to give you accurate, context-aware answers. For example:
"Show me my Waybook structure prioritized by policies first, then processes"
"Using my brand guidelines document in Waybook, what is our primary brand color?"
"Summarize our onboarding process for new hires"
Your AI assistant responds using your team's real documentation - not a guess.
How to Set It Up
Getting started takes just a couple of minutes.
Head to Admin Settings > Integrations in your Waybook account. You'll find your unique MCP server link there.
Copy your MCP server link and add it as a new MCP server in your AI client. The exact steps depend on which tool you're using - check your AI tool's documentation for how to add an MCP server connection.
Once connected, try asking your AI assistant something about your Waybook content. Start simple - "Show me my Waybook structure" is a great first test to confirm everything is working.
✨ Coming soon
We're working on bringing Waybook's MCP server to the connector libraries for OpenAI and Claude, so setup will be even easier in the near future.
Is My Data Safe?
Yes. Waybook's MCP connection follows the same permission model as the rest of the platform. You can only ever access documents and knowledge that you have permission to read. If a document isn't shared with you in Waybook, your AI tool won't be able to see it either.
This means your team's sensitive information stays protected - even when accessed through an AI assistant.
MCP is a new feature, and we're actively developing it. If you have questions, run into any issues, or want to share feedback, we'd love to hear from you. Just reach out to the support team or to your Account Manager directly.
