Quickstart

Get your AI assistant connected to business tools in just a few steps.

Prerequisites

• A Fp Switchboard account (request access at switchboard.fpdigital.ai)
• An MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or ChatGPT)

Setup

1. Sign in to the Dashboard

   Visit switchboard.fpdigital.ai and sign in with your work email.

2. Connect a Service

   From the dashboard, click on a service (like Google or Slack) and follow the OAuth flow to connect your account.

3. Generate a Token

   After connecting, click “Generate Token” to create your MCP access token. This token gives your AI assistant access to the connected service.

4. Configure Your MCP Client

   Add the token to your MCP client configuration. See MCP Clients for detailed setup instructions.

Token Types

Fp Switchboard offers different token types depending on your needs:

Token Type	Format	Use Case
Per-Service	fps_google_xxx	Access a single service
Per-Account	fps_google_work_xxx	Access a specific account within a service
Unified	fps_unified_xxx	Access all connected services with one token

Tip

For most users, the Unified token is the best choice. It gives your AI assistant access to all your connected services through a single configuration.

Example Configuration

Here’s how to add your unified token to Claude Desktop:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fp-switchboard": {
      "url": "https://api.switchboard.fpdigital.ai/mcp/unified",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer fps_unified_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
