MCP Servers for Claude & ChatGPT

PortEden provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that give Claude, Claude Cowork, and ChatGPT secure access to your email, calendar, drive, and task management tools, with the same granular rules you'd set for any other connection type.

What Are MCP Servers?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is a standard that lets AI platforms connect to external data sources and tools. Instead of giving AI raw OAuth tokens, an MCP server provides a structured, permission-controlled interface. PortEden's MCP servers act as data firewalls. Every request from AI passes through your access rules before any data is returned.

Note

MCP servers and OpenClaw skills enforce the same security rules. Choose whichever connection method your AI platform supports. The same PortEden access token and rules apply to both.

Supported AI Platforms

PortEden MCP servers work with any platform that supports the Model Context Protocol:

Claude

Connect Claude Desktop or Claude API to PortEden via MCP for secure email, calendar, drive, and task access.

Claude Cowork

Claude Cowork connects through MCP servers, giving your team AI-powered workflows with full security controls.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT supports MCP connections, allowing PortEden to filter every data request through your access rules.

Available Services via MCP

PortEden MCP servers expose the same services available through the REST API and OpenClaw skills:

Email: Search, read, send, reply, and forward across Gmail, Outlook, and Exchange
Calendar: List, create, update events across Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar
Drive: Search, read, upload files across Google Drive, Docs, and Sheets
Task Management: List, create, update tasks across Jira, Confluence, Monday.com, Asana, Linear, and Notion

Note

Every service supports the same granular permissions and access rules regardless of whether you connect via MCP, OpenClaw, or the REST API directly.

How It Works

Create an Access Token

Sign in at my.porteden.com or use the Authentication API to generate an access token. Configure permissions, access rules, and connected services.

Configure Your MCP Client

Point your AI platform's MCP configuration to PortEden's MCP server endpoint. Provide your access token as the authentication credential. The AI platform will discover available tools automatically.

AI Accesses Data Through Your Rules

When Claude or ChatGPT makes a request through the MCP server, PortEden enforces your access rules: visibility controls, contact rules, action limits, time windows, and board restrictions. Blocked requests are logged. Allowed data is returned in clean, minimal format.

MCP Servers vs OpenClaw Skills

Both connection methods provide the same security features. Choose based on your AI platform:

Feature	MCP Servers	OpenClaw Skills
Platforms	Claude, Claude Cowork, ChatGPT	OpenClaw-compatible agents, Copilot, Gemini
Security Rules	Same permissions, access rules, and audit trails	Same permissions, access rules, and audit trails
Setup	Configure MCP endpoint in AI platform settings	Install OpenClaw skill via CLI
Services	Email, Calendar, Drive, Tasks	Email, Calendar, Drive, Tasks
Context Hygiene	Yes, clean, minimal responses	Yes, clean, minimal responses

Security

MCP servers enforce the same six layers of access control as every other PortEden connection:

Visibility: Control how much data AI can see (free/busy only, headers only, full content)
Contact Rules: Block data from specific people or domains
Action Limits: Restrict to read-only, draft-only, or specific operations
Time Windows: Limit access to recent data only
Account & Board Scope: Restrict to specific accounts, boards, or workspaces
Data Reduction: Redact sensitive fields from responses

Every request through MCP is logged in the audit trail. You can revoke access with one click at any time.
