# Collections

Collections are reusable groups of MCP servers and skills that can be installed into multiple projects in one go. Open the **Collections** page from **Organization settings > Collections** in the dashboard.

## Access requirements

<Callout type="info">
  Viewing collections requires the `org:read` scope, which both the [Admin and Member default roles](/docs/ai-control-plane/org-admin/roles-and-permissions) include. Managing collections (creating, editing, installing, and deleting) requires the `org:admin` scope, held only by the Admin default role.
</Callout>

## Collections list

The page shows a searchable list of the organization's collections. Search filters the list by name. Selecting a collection opens its detail page.

## Collection detail

A collection's detail page shows the servers and skills it contains and supports these actions:

- Edit the collection description.
- **Install** or **Install Server** to install the collection or an individual server into a project.
- **Generate mcp.json** to produce an `mcp.json` configuration for the collection.
- Add servers through the add-server dialog.
- **Delete Collection** to remove the collection.

## Publishing servers into collections

Organization admins publish MCP servers into collections from each server's Publishing settings. See [MCP servers](/docs/ai-control-plane/distribute/mcp-servers) for details. The **Distribute MCP servers** step of the setup wizard also feeds collections and plugins.
