MCP guide

Use Traffic Lights from your AI assistant

Traffic Lights is an MCP server. Connect it to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Microsoft Copilot, sign in with your Traffic Lights account, and ask about runs, approvals and alerts in plain language — or author processes by conversation.

The server URL

https://mcp.traffic-lights.io/mcp/mcp

The same URL for every client. There is nothing to install — you add it as a connector and sign in.

Sign-in. OAuth — you sign in with your own Traffic Lights account; your assistant only sees what your role allows.

Connecting ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot or another MCP client needs a client ID and secret. Request connector access and we will send them.

What you can do

Once connected, ask in plain language. For example:

  • Which pipelines are red right now, and why?
  • What approvals are waiting on me?
  • Show me the history of last night’s close run.
  • Approve the pending reconciliation task.

Actions your assistant takes are recorded under your own identity, and anything that changes a process asks you to confirm first.
