Performance
Max Agent Context. Min Cost.
Free up to 96% of your agent's context window to enhance reasoning and reduce cost, on every Zelt call.
Tools Discovery →What is the Zelt MCP Server?
A Zelt MCP server lets AI agents read and write Zelt data through the Model Context Protocol — Anthropic's open standard for connecting LLMs to external tools. StackOne's Zelt MCP server ships with 34 pre-built actions, fully extensible via the Connector Builder — plus managed authentication, prompt injection defense, and optimized agent context. Connect it from MCP clients like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Goose, and VS Code, or from agent frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, and Vercel AI SDK.

MCP Code Mode: Keeping Tool Responses Out of Agent Context
Anthropic's code_execution processes data already in context. Custom MCP code mode keeps raw tool responses in a sandbox. 14K tokens vs 500.

Zelt MCP Server FAQ
Zelt MCP server vs direct API integration — what's the difference?
A Zelt MCP server and direct API integration serve different use cases. Direct API integration is for software-to-software — backend code calling Zelt. A Zelt MCP server is for AI agents — MCP clients like Claude and Cursor, plus framework agents built with OpenAI, LangChain, or Vercel AI — discovering and calling Zelt at runtime. StackOne provides both.
How does Zelt authentication work for AI agents?
Zelt authentication for AI agents works through a StackOne Connect Session. Create one via the dashboard or the SDK — you get an auth link and ready-to-paste config for Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP clients. Your user authenticates their own Zelt account; StackOne handles token exchange, storage, and refresh. Credentials never reach the LLM, and each user is isolated via
origin_owner_id.Are Zelt MCP tools vulnerable to prompt injection?
Yes — Zelt MCP tools can be vulnerable to indirect prompt injection. Any tool that reads user-written content — documents, messages, tickets, records, or free-text fields — is a potential vector. StackOne Defender scans every tool response before it enters the agent's context — regex patterns in ~1ms, then a MiniLM classifier in ~4ms. 88.7% accuracy, CPU-only.
What is the context bloat of a Zelt agent and how do I avoid it?
Context bloat happens when Zelt tool schemas and API responses eat your Zelt agent's memory, preventing it from reasoning effectively. A single Zelt query can return a massive JSON response, and connecting multiple tools compounds the problem. Tools Discovery and Code Mode reduce context bloat — loading only relevant tools per query and keeping raw responses out of the agent's context.
Can I limit which actions my Zelt agent can access?
Yes — you can limit which actions your Zelt agent can access directly from the StackOne dashboard. Toggle actions on or off, or restrict them to specific accounts, with no code changes to your agent. Session tokens can be scoped to exact actions so if one leaks, exposure stays contained.
Can I create custom agent actions for my Zelt MCP server?
Yes — you can create custom agent actions for your Zelt MCP server using Connector Builder. It's an integration agent your coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot) can invoke to research Zelt's API, generate production-ready connector YAML, test against the live API, and validate before you ship.
When should I NOT use a Zelt MCP server?
Skip a Zelt MCP server if your integration is purely software-to-software — direct Zelt API integration is simpler when no AI agent is involved. For deterministic, compliance-critical operations (financial transactions, regulatory reporting), direct API gives you predictable behavior without agent-driven decision-making. MCP shines when AI agents need to dynamically discover and call Zelt actions at runtime.
What AI frameworks and AI clients does the StackOne Zelt MCP server support?
The StackOne Zelt MCP server supports both. MCP clients (paste-and-go apps): Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Goose. Agent frameworks (code SDKs you build with): OpenAI Agents SDK, Anthropic, Vercel AI, Google ADK, CrewAI, Pydantic AI, LangChain, LangGraph, Azure AI Foundry.
