MCP Setup | PointFive Help Center

Overview

The PointFive MCP server offers both Server-Sent Events (SSE) and HTTP transport options. Authentication is handled through OAuth 2.1 with dynamic client registration at these endpoints:

HTTP transport: https://mcp.pointfive.co/mcp
SSE transport: https://mcp.pointfive.co/sse

For optimal performance and reliability, we suggest using the HTTP transport endpoint unless specifically noted otherwise.
