Playground

The Playground is an in-dashboard agent harness for testing MCP servers before wiring up a real client. Open it from Connect > Playground in the dashboard.

Access requirements

Viewing this page requires the mcp:connect, mcp:read, or mcp:write scope. Running tools in the playground requires the mcp:connect scope, and editing saved playground or server configuration requires the mcp:write scope. The default Admin role includes full access; the default Member role can open and use the playground but cannot edit saved configuration.

Testing a server

Pick any of the project’s MCP servers — hosted and remote servers both appear in the picker. Authenticate against the server if it requires it, then chat with a model that calls the server’s tools live.

While chatting:

• Mention tools directly to steer which ones the model uses
• Inspect the logs panel to see each tool call’s request and response
• Adjust the configuration panel to change the server or session setup

When to use it

Use the playground to verify a new source produces working tools, debug authentication before rolling a server out to real agents, and reproduce tool behavior reported by users without leaving the dashboard.
