Tray.ai MCP Server

Tray.ai Agent Gateway is the MCP server layer of the Tray.ai integration and automation platform. Rather than exposing a fixed set of tools, it lets enterprise teams publish any of Tray's 700+ connectors (Salesforce, NetSuite, Snowflake, Workday, GitHub, Slack, Jira, Google Sheets, and more) or any multi-step Tray workflow as a governed MCP tool. AI agents in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, or any other MCP-compatible client can then discover and call those tools through a single workspace-scoped endpoint.

The gateway is hosted by Tray.ai at https://{workspace-id}.mcp.tray.ai. Authentication uses OAuth2 for remote clients like Claude Desktop (Tray appears in the official Claude Connectors Directory) and API tokens for local clients. Every call is tied to a user identity, with central versioning, rate limits, RBAC enforced at the tool level, and audit logs that satisfy SOC 2 Type II, SOC 1 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA requirements.

Two tool types are exposed via MCP: Connector Tools, which map a single connector operation (for example, a Salesforce SOQL query or a Slack message lookup) to one MCP tool, and Workflow Tools (also called Composite Tools), which wrap an entire Tray workflow with built-in validation and error handling behind a single callable function. This makes it notable for teams that want to give agents broad access to enterprise systems without bypassing IT governance.

Tools

Prerequisites

• A Tray.ai workspace with Agent Gateway enabled
• Your Workspace ID (UUID found in the workspace URL)
• A Tray API token
• At least one Workflow Tool or Connector Tool published in Workspace Settings, Agent Gateway, MCP Server
• The user added to the MCP server via the Access Management tab
• Node.js installed (for local client setup)

Option 1: Claude Desktop via OAuth2 (recommended)

1. Open Claude Desktop and click the + icon in the compose area, then Manage connectors
2. Click + then Add custom connector
3. Enter a name and the remote MCP server URL:

https://{workspace-id}.mcp.tray.ai

4. Click Connect and complete the OAuth2 authorization flow

Tray is also available directly in the Claude Connectors Directory.

Option 2: Local client setup via npm utility

Interactive mode:

npx @trayio/tray-mcp

CLI mode:

npx @trayio/tray-mcp \
  --workspace-id 12345678-abcd-1234-ef56-0123456789ab \
  --api-token tray_api_token_xxxxx \
  --client claude \
  --name production-mcp

Available flags:

• -w, --workspace-id (required): Tray Workspace ID UUID
• -t, --api-token (required): Tray API token
• -c, --client: Target client, one of claude, cursor, windsurf, vscode (default: claude)
• -n, --name: Custom MCP server name (default: tray-workspace)

The utility writes the appropriate config file for your client. Config locations:

• Claude Desktop (macOS): ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
• Claude Desktop (Windows): %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• Windsurf: ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp.json
• VS Code: registered via the VS Code CLI

• Give Claude access to every SaaS system in the company through one governed endpoint instead of installing dozens of point MCP servers
• Expose a "Send Slack Message" or "Create Jira Issue" composite workflow so an agent can complete a multi-step action with a single tool call
• Allow agents to run read-only Salesforce SOQL queries, look up NetSuite records, or query Snowflake while IT enforces RBAC and audit logging
• Centralize MCP governance, audit trails, rate limits, and version rollout across all AI agents in the organization to satisfy SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR controls
• Replace shadow or unmanaged MCP servers with approved, user-scoped tools published from existing Tray workflows

• "Look up the Acme Corp account in Salesforce and summarize the last three opportunities"
• "Send a Slack message to the on-call engineer letting them know the deployment finished"
• "Run the order-status workflow for order #48211 and tell me where the shipment is"
• "Search Jira for open P1 bugs assigned to the platform team this sprint"
• "Pull the latest revenue figures from Snowflake and post them as a comment on the Q3 forecast Google Doc"

• Official, vendor-hosted server with OAuth2 support and a listing in the Claude Connectors Directory
• Massive surface area: 700+ connectors plus arbitrary Tray workflows can be exposed without writing MCP code
• Enterprise-grade governance including RBAC, audit logs, rate limits, and compliance with SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR
• Composite Workflow Tools reduce hallucination risk by hiding multi-step logic behind a single deterministic tool call

• Requires a paid Tray.ai workspace and admin work to publish tools; not usable without an existing Tray account
• No public source code or open-source MCP server implementation, so the exact tool surface depends on what your admins configure
• The set of available tools is workspace-specific, which means consistent prompts across organizations are not guaranteed

• Zapier MCP: exposes Zapier's 7,000+ app integrations as MCP tools for AI agents
• Workato MCP: similar iPaaS-as-MCP approach with enterprise governance
• Pipedream MCP: developer-focused MCP server fronting Pipedream's connector catalog
