Connect your AI assistant to Traceable
Ask Claude to draft a requirements document, renumber an ID grid, or find the requirements with no verification linked, and have it work on your real project instead of a copy pasted into a chat window.
One URL, and an ordinary sign-in
The connector speaks the Model Context Protocol over streamable HTTP, and authorises with OAuth 2.1. There is no API key to copy, paste or rotate.
https://app.traceabledocs.com/api/mcp/mcpYour assistant discovers everything else on its own: where to send you to sign in, what permissions to ask for, and which tools exist.
21 tools, in two groups your assistant shows you
Seven of them only read. Fourteen can change something. Claude sorts them into those two groups for you: the read-only ones can be approved once, and the rest ask every time they are used.
- Survey a project: its groups, documents, outlines and the trace graph between them.
- Read a document in full, or a slice of it, as Traceable Markdown.
- Create documents, optionally from one of your templates.
- Author and edit content: segments, blocks, ID grids, cells and columns.
- Create and delete trace links between TraceIDs, so coverage stays real.
- Rename a TraceID or a document prefix without breaking the links into it.
- Search and read your Reference Library, and cite an item on a document.
- Reach anything you cannot reach yourself. It acts as you, under the same project and organisation membership as the web app.
- Edit a published document. Published versions are read-only to it, as they are to you.
- Publish, approve or sign anything. Review and eSignature stay with people.
- Delete a document that has not been archived first, mirroring the app.
- Act without a record. Every change it makes is audit-logged against your name and the application that made it.
What you are agreeing to
The consent screen is not a formality, so it is worth knowing what it means.
It names the application asking, the Traceable account it would connect to, and the two permissions it wants: reading your projects and documents, and creating or editing document content. You approve or you deny. Nothing is shared until you approve.
Approving means document content leaves Traceable. The assistant receives the content it asks for, on your instruction, and handles it under your own agreement with whoever provides that assistant rather than under ours. You, or your organisation, are the party exporting that data. Our Privacy Policy says so in those words, in section 6.
That is the trade the connector makes, and it is the reason access is off by default and an administrator has to turn it on.
How to get access
Access is granted per person, by an administrator of your organisation. If you landed here from a screen telling you that you do not have access yet, this is the part you want.
External agent access is off until an administrator of your organisation allows it, under Organisation settings, and then grants it to you individually under Members. Two controls, and both have to say yes.
In your assistant, add a custom connector pointing at the endpoint below. You will be sent to Traceable to sign in, if you are not already.
Traceable shows a consent screen naming the application and exactly what it is asking for. Nothing is shared until you approve it, and you can revoke it later at any time.
Refused at the consent screen? The screen itself will offer to email your administrators for you, and tells you which of the two controls stopped you, so you know what to ask for.
Turning it off is as easy as turning it on
Both controls work in reverse, and both take effect immediately rather than when a token happens to expire.
An administrator can switch external agents off for the whole organisation, which refuses every member at once, including anyone already connected. They can also revoke one person, or one connection, from the Members panel.
Every connection is listed where it was granted, so nobody has to guess what is connected.
Put your requirements work where the assistant can reach it
Traceable keeps requirements, tests and trace links as live objects rather than rows in a spreadsheet, which is what makes an assistant useful on them.
