How do I connect an AI agent?
By Blake Folgado · Updated 2026-10-03
SentryDock gives a compatible agent access to indexed news, your own alerts and ongoing monitoring. Add the remote server, complete account authentication, then use the chat for research and monitor review.
Choose the exact setup method on the agent hub. OAuth is the normal remote-MCP path. An API key from Settings → Agents supports the CLI and documented key-based access; keep it outside shared files and prompts.
The path is the same for every tool:
- Choose a client guide and add https://www.sentrydock.com/mcp.
- Complete OAuth with the intended account and enable tools for the conversation.
- Ask for account.overview and confirm your account and plan.
- Run news.search with a topic, time window and limit; review original URLs and dates.

Install the SentryDock workflow skill for a supported client, or use the CLI with a securely configured API key. The skill supplies instructions rather than account access.
Ongoing monitoring
Inspect existing monitors before proposing a new one. Review the sources, relevance rules, cadence and destination, then authorise creation. The default is hourly; realtime access depends on your plan.
