Knox Anchor MCP Server FAQ
What is the Knox Anchor MCP server?
The Knox Anchor MCP server is a Model Context Protocol implementation that lets AI agents like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT read and write Knox Anchor data through a standardized interface. Willow hosts and governs this server so enterprises can roll it out without a security review backlog.
How is Willow's Knox Anchor MCP server different from the official one?
The official Knox Anchor MCP server is scoped to a single user's account and does not include enterprise governance. Willow's version adds SSO, RBAC, audit logging, shadow AI detection, and centralized control over which actions agents can take across the entire org.
Which AI clients work with the Knox Anchor MCP server?
Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, VS Code with MCP support, n8n, and any custom agent built with OpenAI Agents SDK, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK, or Anthropic SDK.
Is the Knox Anchor MCP server secure? How does Willow handle authentication?
Every call runs behind your existing SSO (Okta, Azure AD). Per-user OAuth scopes the agent to exactly what that user can do in Knox Anchor, nothing more. No credentials reach the LLM. Every action writes to an audit trail.
Can I limit which Knox Anchor actions agents can take?
Yes. Willow lets you scope agents to specific actions, specific projects, or specific environments. Toggle actions on or off in the dashboard, or enforce policy via infrastructure-as-code through GitHub.
How do I detect shadow Knox Anchor MCP servers in my org?
Willow's browser extension and discovery service surface unmanaged MCP servers, skills, and AI agents across the org. If a developer installed an unapproved Knox Anchor MCP locally, you'll see it.
What does the Knox Anchor MCP server cost?
Pricing depends on org size and deployment model (SaaS, dedicated cloud, self-host). See withwillow.ai/pricing or contact sales for a quote.
How do I install the Knox Anchor MCP server with Willow?
Install via the Willow Connect Panel in one click, or paste the JSON snippet above into your Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Claude Code config. SSO and RBAC inherit from your existing Willow setup.
