Give an assistant context, with access you approve
Leaves MCP is available in production on Max and Ultra. Connect a compatible assistant to work with your research while keeping authorization, project permissions and living-person privacy in force.
Review the connection before it sees your research
Authorize the compatible client through Leaves and review the access it requests. Read access can supply record searches, research bundles, one-hop relationships and possible duplicate candidates as context for your investigation.
Write access requires explicit authorization. Permitted clients can make supported record changes, attach media and work with structured research checkpoints, within the user’s project permissions. Review connected assistants in Profile → Sessions and use the sign-out button to revoke their access. The manual includes setup steps for ChatGPT and Claude.

A connection with defined boundaries
- Available on Max and Ultra
- Leaves MCP is live in production. Connect it from a compatible MCP client using the setup instructions in the manual.
- Bounded research context
- Read supported records, search your accessible projects and request research bundles and duplicate candidates for the question you are investigating.
- Explicit permission to write
- Read-only consent does not allow edits. Supported changes and media attachments require write authorization as well as the relevant project permissions.
- Revocable connections
- Open Profile → Sessions to see connected assistants by name with an MCP label and their latest activity. Sign out one connection, or use Sign out everywhere else to end all other browser and MCP sessions. Project permissions and living-person protections continue to apply.
What this does not do
An assistant’s interpretation still needs a researcher
Check proposed identities, conclusions and changes against the evidence. Revoking access prevents further authorized use but does not retrieve information a client has already received. MCP access is available now; the separate AI source-processing feature remains upcoming.
