How it helps you

When you connect the docs MCP to your AI tools, the AI becomes an Award Force expert and:
  • Generates accurate code using current API endpoints, parameters, and request bodies.
  • Answers specific questions about the API, authentication, and webhooks.
  • Suggests best practices for working with entries, categories, assignments, and more.
  • Finds the right documentation when you are stuck on implementation.
The docs MCP server provides documentation search only. It does not make API calls. To use the Award Force API itself, include your API key in requests as described in the authentication guide.

  • Try removing and re-adding the server configuration.
  • Check the MCP support documentation for your AI tool.

​
Search issues
