# Connect from another MCP client

Ask Zilliant pricing questions directly by connecting your MCP client to Zilliant MCP Server.

At a high level, the connection works like this:

1. You create a new MCP connection in your AI client.
2. You enter the tenant-specific connection values from Zilliant.
3. Your AI client redirects you to the OAuth sign-in flow.
4. You complete the authentication.
5. The AI client uses the authenticated connection to send requests to Zilliant MCP Server.
6. Zilliant MCP Server returns results from your tenant to the AI client.

In this topic, read the general recommendations for common connection steps:

- [Complete prerequisites](/main/docs/connect-from-another-mcp-client#prerequisites)
- [Configure the connection](/main/docs/connect-from-another-mcp-client#configure-the-connection)
- [Complete OAuth authentication](/main/docs/connect-from-another-mcp-client#complete-oauth-authentication)
- [Confirm the connection](/main/docs/connect-from-another-mcp-client#confirm-the-connection)

## Prerequisites

Before you configure the connection, make sure that:

- You have an MCP-capable AI client
- You have permission to create or manage MCP connections in that client
- Your Zilliant tenant has MCP access enabled. If it is not enabled, contact your Account Executive or Customer Success Manager.
- Your tenant is configured for OAuth
- Your OAuth credentials are stored in AWS Secrets Manager for the target environment

---

## Configure the connection

In your MCP client, open the settings for managing MCP servers, connectors, integrations, or tools. Create a new connection and enter the values provided by Zilliant.

Most MCP clients require these settings:

- **Server endpoint**

Enter the MCP Server URL provided for your tenant. The URL should have the following format:

`https://api-{yourTenant}-{yourEnvironment}.zilliant.com/mcp/sse`
- **Authentication method**

Select OAuth if the client asks you to choose an authentication type. Zilliant MCP Server uses OAuth with Salesforce.

---

## Complete OAuth authentication

After you save the connection settings, start the sign-in flow. Your MCP client should redirect you to the OAuth sign-in page. Complete the authentication steps for your tenant.

---

## Confirm the connection

After the connection is active, run a few simple prompts that are easy to verify. For details, read **Confirm the connection** in [Get started with Zilliant MCP Server](/main/docs/get-started-with-zilliant-mcp-server#confirm-the-connection).
