Actions and MCP

Actions enable Agents to interact with external systems. ASSIST AI includes 4 built-in Actions and supports additional custom ones via OpenAPI and Model Context Protocol (MCP). The built-in Actions are:

Name	Description	Requires Config	Provider Options
Internal Search	Search your organization’s indexed documents and knowledge base	Yes	Built-in (swappable)
Web Search	Browse the internet for real-time information	Yes	Google, Serper, Exa, Firecrawl
Code Execution	Run Python code, analyze data, and create visualizations	No	Built-in
Image Generation	Generate images from text prompts using AI	Yes	OpenAI, Azure OpenAI

Custom Actions

ASSIST AI provides flexible options for configuring custom Actions and their authentication. Admins can choose between:

Shared authentication — all users access Actions under a single set of credentials
Per-user authentication — each user completes their own auth flow, respecting individual permissions

Both token-based authentication and OAuth are supported.

Actions Button

In the Chat input bar, Actions are grouped by their registered MCP server or OpenAPI schema. Users can freely toggle Actions on or off at any time, controlling what the Agent has access to during a session.
