Projects

The Projects hub is the first page you see after selecting a tenant. It lists every web project and MCP server in the workspace, and is the starting point for creating new ones.

The resource hierarchy is Organization > Tenant > Project > Environment. Projects live inside a tenant and contain one or more environments (e.g. Development, Staging, Production). MCP servers follow the same hierarchy but expose server-side tool endpoints instead of client-facing auth flows.

Project list

The page header reads "Projects" with filter tabs for All, Web, and MCP — each showing a count badge. Two layout modes are available:

  • Cards view — each project is a card showing the name, description, organization name, environment count badge, last-updated date, and a colored top bar (indigo for web projects, emerald for MCP servers).
  • Table view — a compact row-based layout with columns for Name, Type, Environments, and Updated.

Web projects display a terminal icon (SquareTerminal) and MCP servers display a bot icon (Bot).

Click a project card to select it. Selecting a project pins its first environment and redirects you to the project dashboard.

Tip

Use the filter tabs to quickly narrow the list when your tenant has many projects. The count badges update as projects are added or removed.

Create a web project

In the Dashboard

  1. From the Projects hub, click the "+" button in the top navigation bar.

  2. Select "New Project" from the dropdown menu.

  3. In the project type dialog, click "Web Application".

  4. Fill in the project details and click "Create Project".

  5. You'll be redirected to the project dashboard for your new project.

Navigate back to the Projects hub to see your new web project in the list.

Form fields

Field Required Details
Name Yes Minimum 2 characters. Displayed in the project list, sidebar, and breadcrumb navigation.
Description No Free-text summary of the project's purpose.
URL No Must be a valid URL if provided. Used as the project's primary web address.

Programmatically

Use the saveApplication mutation to create a web project via the API:

mutation SaveApplication($meta: SaveApplicationInput!) {
  saveApplication(meta: $meta) {
    project { id }
    environments { id name }
    meta { ok { message } error { message } }
  }
}
{
  "meta": {
    "name": "My Web App",
    "description": "Customer-facing authentication portal",
    "url": "https://app.example.com"
  }
}

Create an MCP server

In the Dashboard

  1. From the Projects hub, click the "+" button in the top navigation bar.

  2. Select "New MCP Server" from the dropdown menu.

  3. Fill in the server details, click "Next", then click "Register Server".

  4. The dialog closes and your new MCP server appears in the projects hub.

Form fields

Field Required Details
Name Yes Minimum 2 characters. Displayed in the project list and sidebar navigation.
Description No Free-text summary of the server's purpose.
Server URL No The SSE endpoint for the MCP server. Must be a valid URL if provided.

Programmatically

Use the saveMCPServer mutation to create an MCP server via the API:

mutation SaveMCPServer($meta: SaveMCPServerInput!) {
  saveMCPServer(meta: $meta) {
    server { id name transportType }
    meta { ok { message } error { message } }
  }
}
{
  "meta": {
    "name": "Auth Tools Server",
    "description": "MCP server exposing authentication tools",
    "serverUrl": "https://mcp.example.com/sse"
  }
}

Tip

MCP servers support SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport by default. You can configure the transport type and endpoint after creation in the server settings.

What happens after selecting a project

Clicking a project card selects it along with its pinned (or first) environment and navigates you to the project dashboard. The sidebar updates to show project-specific navigation: Overview, Identity Flows, Settings, and more.

For MCP servers, the dashboard shows server configuration, connected tools, and environment-specific endpoints.

Warning

Switching projects clears your current environment selection. If you had unsaved changes in a project's settings, they will be lost.
