OAuth

The Icebreaker MCP server uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate users. The flow is browser-based and takes about 30 seconds the first time you connect.

How it works

When you add the Icebreaker MCP server to your AI client, it will prompt you to authenticate. Clicking Connect (or equivalent in your client) opens a browser window to Icebreaker's authorization page.

You log in to your Icebreaker account (or create one if you don't have one)
You approve the requested permissions
The browser redirects back to your AI client and the connection is established

After that, the token is stored by your AI client and used automatically. You won't need to re-authenticate unless you revoke access or the token expires.

What the server can access

When you authorize the MCP server, it can:

Search your synced network (LinkedIn, GitHub, X/Twitter connections)
Read your contact lists
Create and update contact lists on your behalf
Queue network syncs, read status and queue counts, and cancel pending syncs you requested or queued
Import your LinkedIn Connections.csv onto your connected verified account
Enrich people and companies via your Icebreaker account
Access your viewer profile

For Teams customers, it can additionally:

Search your team's combined network
Access team member social paths (for team-scoped searches)
List a collaborator’s sync queue as an admin on that team
Invite or make eligible collaborators, including sending email, subject to role and plan requirements
Import a team member’s Connections.csv subject to team permissions
Read or save a shared team-list activity monitor; enabling it sends daily activity emails on the existing schedule

Access is limited by the signed-in account, selected team, role, and plan. Team-scoped actions require the applicable team permissions. See Available Tools for each tool’s scope and state-changing behavior.

Revoking access

You can revoke the MCP server's access at any time from your Icebreaker account settings at app.icebreaker.xyz/settings.

To reconnect after revoking, follow the setup steps in Quickstart again.

Enterprise

Enterprise customers have access to their own dedicated MCP tenant, which can be configured for shared team access without requiring individual OAuth flows for each user. Contact [email protected] or your account manager for details.
