Overview
The MCP Platform is Obot's unified management interface for deploying, managing, and operating MCP servers. It provides role-based access to server management, registries, audit logs, usage tracking, and platform administration.
For detailed permissions and role definitions, see User Roles.
Roles and Capabilities
The MCP Platform adapts its navigation and available features based on your assigned role.
Basic User
Basic Users can deploy and use MCP servers that have been made available to them through an MCP Registry. They can interact with MCP servers via Obot Chat or external MCP clients but cannot publish or manage servers.
Power User
Power Users include all Basic User capabilities and can additionally deploy MCP servers for personal use that are not sourced from an MCP Registry. These servers are only visible to the deploying user. They also have access to audit logs metadata and usage stats for the servers they deploy.
Power User+
Power Users+ include all Power User capabilities and can additionally publish MCP servers to an MCP Registry for use by other users. They control which users or groups can access the servers they publish.
Admin / Owner
Admins and Owners have full administrative access to the platform, including system-wide configuration, user management, and chat administration.
The only functional difference between Owners and Admins is that Owners can assign the Auditor role to users. For more information, see the Auditor Role.
