Unblocked
by Unblocked
Give a coding agent your team's Slack, Jira, GitHub and wiki context through two read-only tools. Both tools are read-only, but one free-text query reaches every connected system at once.
Verified connector
Listed by Anthropic as a partner connector in its Connectors Directory.
Connection checked by Agentman on .
Anthropic states this reflects the level of review a connector received, not a security audit.
Connect Unblocked via MCP
https://getunblocked.com/api/mcpsseWorks in any MCP-compatible client. In Agentman Studio it is one click — no config file to edit.
Unblocked Tools & Capabilities (2)
Tool names from Anthropic's directory listing. This server requires sign-in, so we could not read tool descriptions or parameter schemas.
Limits
- No OAuth scopes exist. Unblocked's RFC 9728 resource descriptor at
https://getunblocked.com/.well-known/oauth-protected-resourceand its authorization server metadata both omitscopes_supportedentirely. There is no scope naming a data source, a system or an operation, so consent cannot separate reading Slack from reading source code. - Presets do not narrow MCP queries. Unblocked states this outright. The narrowing that does work on this path is a token scoped to specific data sources at creation time.
- Data Shield is off by default, Enterprise-only, and does not cover five sources. Datadog, Sentry, Snowflake, Stack Overflow and external websites are documented as unsupported, so every team member sees data from them regardless of the permissions in the origin system.
- Only two of nine context tools are on MCP. The seven
context_search_*andcontext_query_*tools are CLI-only by design. On MCP alone, Unblocked's own guidance is to fall back tocontext_researchwith a steeringinstruction— which returns ranked rather than enumerated results, so "list every open bug in this project" is not reliably answerable here. - We could not read tool schemas or safety annotations. The endpoint returned 401 to an anonymous request, so no parameter-level detail from
tools/listis published on this page. The parameters described here come from Unblocked's CLI and REST documentation for the same engine. - A Platform plan is required. MCP is not included in the Code Review plan.
- The directory and the vendor disagree on transport. Anthropic records
sse; Unblocked's docs say SSE is unsupported and to select HTTP. - External Websites content is indexed with no permission model. Any public site an admin adds by root URL is crawled in full and re-crawled about weekly, then returned in answers to everyone.
- Freshness varies by source. Unblocked documents PRs, CI results and conversations arriving in near real time, while source code, documentation, issues and incidents refresh on a schedule "within minutes to hours". An agent may be reasoning about a stale version of a file.
- Whether
context_get_urlsfetches arbitrary public URLs is unresolved. Unblocked's docs describe it for connected services; its skills repository describes it as resolving "PRs, issues, docs, and public pages". We did not test it and cannot say where the boundary sits.
Frequently asked questions
No. Both tools Anthropic lists only read. Unblocked's documentation describes context_research as returning a synthesized answer with citations and context_get_urls as fetching the content behind a link. Neither writes, and the public REST API keeps its delete endpoints on paths the MCP surface does not expose. Unblocked Code, which opens pull requests, is a separate product with its own GitHub App.
Because the other seven are deliberately CLI-only. Unblocked's open-source skills repository publishes nine context tools and states plainly that context_search_code, context_search_prs and the rest do not appear in the MCP tool list even when fully available on the machine. The repository calls that the most common failure mode for agents using these skills.
Everything your team connected. Unblocked's data source pages list GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Jira, Linear, Asana, Zendesk, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Confluence, Notion, SharePoint, Google Drive, Coda, Stack Overflow, Datadog, Sentry, PostHog and Snowflake. One context_research query reaches every source the caller's token can see.
No, and Unblocked says so directly. Its presets documentation states presets apply to Q&A on the web, in the Mac app and in messaging platforms, and that they do not currently apply to Unblocked MCP queries. When an agent calls context_research it searches all data sources the token or user can access.
Only if an admin turned it on, source by source, on an Enterprise plan. Unblocked documents Data Shield as off by default for every data source including newly connected ones, and lists it as an Enterprise plan feature. Five connected sources, among them Datadog, Sentry and Snowflake, are documented as unsupported by Data Shield at all.
None that narrow anything. Unblocked's RFC 9728 resource descriptor and its authorization server metadata both omit scopes_supported entirely, so no scope string exists to grant or withhold. Consent is all-or-nothing against the Unblocked API as a whole rather than per data source or per operation.
OAuth, unless you are automating in CI. Unblocked warns that a Team Access Token gives access to every document in your team's data sources and that MCP tools may return sensitive data such as private Slack channels through it. Both personal and team tokens can be scoped to specific data sources at creation time.
HTTP, despite the endpoint being named mcpsse. Unblocked's install documentation warns that HTTP+SSE is deprecated in the MCP specification and is not supported by Unblocked MCP, and instructs you to select HTTP where a client offers the choice. Anthropic's directory still records the transport as sse.
Yes, 10,000 MCP tool calls per day. Unblocked applies that limit per organization for Team Access Tokens, and per organization member across Personal Access Tokens, OAuth connections and the desktop app. Limits reset at midnight Pacific Time. A separate 1,000 calls per day cap applies to each Personal Access Token on the REST API.
