Connect your Paperclip agents
Use Paperclip’s remote MCP connection to give selected agents access to this Harbor profile. No additional Microsoft or Google app registration is needed for Paperclip.
- Choose a profile above. Its running servers determine which tools Harbor exposes.
- In Paperclip, open Apps → Connect an app → Connect your own MCP server.
- Paste the endpoint below and select Check link. Keep authentication automatic, or choose Browser sign-in.
- Choose Sign in to continue. Sign in to Harbor and select the individual tools to allow. Check that the callback address belongs to your Paperclip deployment.
- Back in Paperclip, review the discovered actions and grant access to the intended agents. Enable only the actions they need; sending mail and other changes require an explicit action policy.
Advanced: paste a configuration
In Paperclip, choose Advanced → Paste a config. This configuration contains no credentials. Complete browser sign-in when prompted.
Create a separate connection for each profile you need, such as mail, fitness, or travel. Harbor access covers only the tools you selected. Reconnect and consent again to allow new tools.
Connection help and access control
If your Paperclip version does not show the remote MCP flow, update it to a release that includes generic remote MCP connections. The setup here follows upstream source reviewed on 25 September 2026.
Use Harbor’s public HTTPS URL. Your Paperclip callback must use HTTPS, except for localhost development. Paperclip handles client registration and token refresh; leave manual client ID, client secret and custom headers empty. If it asks for a key, verify the URL and browser sign-in discovery instead of pasting your Harbor administrator password.
Harbor grants expire after 30 days, when you must reconnect. You can revoke a connection immediately from Harbor’s Connected clients page. Provider account sign-in is managed separately under Servers.
Paperclip’s approval policies control its agents. Harbor enforces your selected tools. Paperclip separately controls when its agents may use those tools.
