Domains to allow

  • mcp.paperoffice.ai — MCP endpoint, OAuth authorisation and token endpoints
  • api.paperoffice.ai — documentation (/latest/docs/llms.txt, Postman) and REST API
  • app.paperoffice.ai — PaperOffice web app (token management, revocation, audit)

All traffic is HTTPS (TLS 1.2+). No inbound connection to your network is required.

Identity and access

  • Each user connects with an individual PaperOffice login; permissions are the user's PaperOffice permissions (workspace roles, read-only, WORM, legal hold).
  • Connections are visible and revocable per user under Account → API → MCP connections; account admins see all connections of the organisation.
  • Token types po_sk_ and po_pk_ are rejected by the MCP server.

Logging and audit

Every tool call is recorded with timestamp, user, tool, parameters summary, credits and connection in the account audit trail (Account → API usage). Logs stay within PaperOffice.

Rollout recommendation

  1. Pilot with one workspace and read-only roles.
  2. Enable write roles per workspace after the pilot.
  3. Review API usage weekly during the first month.
