# Tines

> Give the Sazabi agent read-only tools to look up the stories and actions in your Tines tenant.

[All Tines integration capabilities](https://docs.sazabi.com/catalogs/integrations/tines)

## About

This is an MCP connector that gives the Sazabi agent tools from your Tines tenant's own MCP server. Every Tines tenant hosts one at `https://<your-tenant>.tines.com/mcp`. Tines authenticates it with OAuth and dynamic client registration, so there is nothing to create in Tines in advance. The connector acts as the Tines user who signs in, with that user's Tines permissions. Sazabi connects it read-only: tools that create or change stories and actions, or run them, stay blocked.

**What the agent can do:**

* Read stories, their actions, and how the actions connect
* Find which stories handle a given alert, webhook, or integration
* Read action configuration to explain what an automation does

## Prerequisites

* A Tines tenant on `tines.com` where your user can use the MCP server
* Your tenant's MCP endpoint: `https://<your-tenant>.tines.com/mcp`. Opening it in a browser shows Tines' own setup page. Sazabi accepts only a single `<tenant>.tines.com` host over https with exactly the `/mcp` path.

## Set up in the dashboard

Configure connectors in the dashboard under [**Settings > MCP connectors**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/mcp-connectors).

**Step 1**

### Open the connector

Find Tines in [**Settings > MCP connectors**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/mcp-connectors).

**Step 2**

### Enter your tenant's endpoint

Paste `https://<your-tenant>.tines.com/mcp` into the **Server URL** field.

**Step 3**

### Authorize

Start the connection. Sazabi redirects you to your tenant to sign in and approve access on the **Tines Stories MCP server** screen, then back.

## Set up with the CLI

You can also connect Tines with the [Sazabi CLI](https://docs.sazabi.com/reference/cli.md) (installed and authenticated — see [`sazabi mcp-connectors` reference](https://docs.sazabi.com/reference/cli/mcp-connectors)).

Tines authenticates over OAuth, so the CLI opens a browser to complete authorization:

```bash theme={"system"}
sazabi mcp-connectors connect tines --server-url https://<your-tenant>.tines.com/mcp
```

Sazabi uses this connector read-only, so write tools stay blocked even without `--read-only`; pass `--project-id <project>` to target a specific project. In `--json` mode the command prints an authorization URL to open, then polls until the connection completes. Confirm the result with `sazabi mcp-connectors list`.

## Verify

Open the connector's connection page under [**Settings > MCP connectors**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/mcp-connectors) and confirm Sazabi lists the tools it discovered. Then, in a thread, ask the agent to use one of those tools and confirm it runs. If no tools appear, confirm the endpoint is your tenant's and that your Tines user can use the MCP server.

## Troubleshooting

**"MCP server URL must be..." when connecting** — Use exactly `https://<your-tenant>.tines.com/mcp`: https, one tenant host on `tines.com`, no port, and no other path (a custom MCP server built in a story lives under `/mcp/<id>` and is a different connection).

**No tools discovered** — Disconnect and reconnect from [**Settings > MCP connectors**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/mcp-connectors), and check that your Tines user can use the MCP server on that tenant.

**Connection shows needs attention** — The authorization may have expired or been revoked; reconnect from [**Settings > MCP connectors**](https://app.sazabi.com/settings/mcp-connectors).
