Your admin has set up Ultra for your team. Ultra is a lightweight proxy that sits between your AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, etc.) and the MCP connectors you use every day. It gives your security team visibility into MCP activity without changing how you work. This guide gets you up and running in under 5 minutes.

​
Install Ultra

Visit ultra.security and download the installer for your platform. Run the installer and it will automatically detect your AI agents and configure them.
Restart your AI agent (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) after installing for Ultra to take effect.

​
Connect to Your Team

Your admin will provide you with a link to join your organization’s Ultra Hub workspace. Once you receive the invite:
Ask your AI agent:
  • “Log in to Ultra Hub”
  • “Link this device to Ultra Hub”
Follow the browser prompts to authenticate and join your workspace.
Once linked, your MCP activity syncs to Ultra Hub where your admin can see connected devices, manage connectors, and monitor activity across the team.

​
Add Your MCP Connectors

This is the part that replaces your old MCP setup. Instead of editing JSON config files manually, you add connectors through Ultra and it handles configuration, authentication, and transport automatically.
Ask your AI agent to add the connectors you need:
  • “Add the Vanta MCP connector”
  • “Connect to the GitHub MCP connector”
  • “Set up the Notion MCP connector”
  • “Add the Slack MCP connector”
Your agent will search the registry, install the connector, and walk you through authentication.Restart your AI agent after adding connectors.
Select a connector to see setup instructions.
Connects your AI agent to your Notion workspace for reading and writing pages, databases, and comments.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Notion MCP connector”Notion uses OAuth. You will be redirected to Notion in your browser to authorize access to your workspace.
You need to be a member of the Notion workspace you want to connect. The OAuth consent screen will show which workspace pages the integration can access.
Lets your AI agent send messages, search conversations, and interact with your Slack workspace.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Slack MCP connector”Slack uses OAuth. You will be redirected to Slack in your browser to authorize.
Connects your AI agent to Linear for reading and managing issues, projects, and cycles.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Linear MCP connector”Linear uses OAuth. Authorize in your browser when prompted.
Gives your AI agent access to repositories, issues, pull requests, and code search.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the GitHub MCP connector”You will be prompted for a Personal Access Token (PAT). Create one at github.com/settings/tokens with the scopes you need (typically repo and read:org).
Use a fine-grained PAT scoped to only the repositories you need. This follows the principle of least privilege and is safer than a classic token with broad access.
Connects your AI agent to Figma for accessing design files, components, and projects.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Figma MCP connector”Figma uses OAuth. You will be redirected to Figma in your browser to authorize access.
Gives your AI agent access to AWS services, documentation, and infrastructure management.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the AWS MCP connector”You will need AWS credentials configured on your machine. If you haven’t already, set up your AWS credentials before adding this connector.
Connects your AI agent to Atlassian Jira for reading and managing issues, sprints, and projects.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Jira MCP connector”You will be prompted for your Jira instance URL and an API token. Create one at id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens.
Connects your AI agent to your Mintlify documentation for searching and reading docs pages.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Mintlify MCP connector”You will need your Mintlify project subdomain or API key.
Gives your AI agent access to Salesforce CRM data, objects, and reports.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Salesforce MCP connector”Salesforce uses OAuth. You will be redirected to Salesforce in your browser to authorize access to your org.
Connects your AI agent to Datadog for querying metrics, logs, and monitors.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Datadog MCP connector”You will be prompted for your Datadog API key and application key. Find these in your Datadog org settings under API Keys.
Gives your AI agent read access to a PostgreSQL database for querying tables and schemas.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the PostgreSQL MCP connector”You will be prompted for your database connection string.
Only connect to databases you are comfortable exposing to your AI agent. Use a read-only database user when possible.
Lets your AI agent interact with your compliance data, controls, and vulnerabilities.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the Vanta MCP connector”When prompted, authorize through your browser. Vanta uses OAuth, so you will be redirected to Vanta to grant access.
You need an active Vanta account with appropriate permissions. If you see an authentication error, check with your Vanta admin that your account has API access enabled.
Gives your AI agent read/write access to specific directories on your machine. Useful for letting AI tools work with your project files.
Ask your AI agent: “Add the filesystem connector for my project files”You will be asked which directories to allow access to. Only grant access to directories you want the AI to read/write.
The filesystem connector can read and write files. Only grant access to directories you are comfortable sharing with your AI agent. Never point it at your home directory or root.
