OAuth
How OAuth works for the Icebreaker MCP server, what it can access, and how to revoke access.
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
- Trigger network syncs for your connected accounts
- 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)
The server operates entirely within your own account's data and permissions. It cannot access other users' private data.
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.
