Hosted MCP servers use the `/mcp` path in their URLs. Other navigation elements cannot use the `/mcp` path.

### MCP servers with authenticated documentation

If your documentation uses [authentication](/deploy/authentication-setup), you can manage additional MCP server settings from the dashboard.

#### Enable or disable MCP server

For authenticated documentation, you can toggle your MCP server on or off from the [MCP server page](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/mcp). When disabled, AI applications cannot connect to your documentation via MCP.

#### Redirect domains

When your documentation uses OAuth authentication, you can specify allowed redirect domains for OAuth callbacks. This limits OAuth callbacks to trusted origins, enhancing security for your MCP server.

To configure redirect domains:

1. Navigate to the [MCP server page](https://dashboard.mintlify.com/products/mcp) in your dashboard.
2. In the **Redirect domains** section, enter a hostname (for example, `example.com`).

Check warning on line 78 in ai/model-context-protocol.mdx

ai/model-context-protocol.mdx#L78 

Did you really mean 'hostname'?
3. Click **Add domain** to add it to the allowed list.

Only domains in this list can receive OAuth callbacks from your MCP server.

### Rate limits

To protect availability, Mintlify applies rate limits to MCP servers.
