Unblocked MCP tools are actively evolving. Tools and their descriptions may change over time.
Unblocked MCP gives your coding agents access to organizational context they can’t get from code alone — pull request history, messaging threads, issue trackers, documentation, and more. One install works across all your tools. The MCP server is built and shipped by the Unblocked CLI. The same context is also available as standalone context-* commands you can run directly or wire into scripts and CI. If you are deciding between MCP, the CLI, and the REST API, see Programmatic access to Unblocked.

​
Install (macOS and Linux)

Run the following command to install Unblocked MCP:
This will download the Unblocked CLI and configure your supported tools and agents automatically.
The install script supports macOS and Linux. Windows users should use the manual install instructions below.
The installer auto-detects your supported tools and agents (Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, Windsurf, and others) and configures them all. It also installs skills — prompt-driven workflows that teach your agents how to best leverage Unblocked.

Enterprise Managed Authorization

Organizations using Claude with Okta can configure the Unblocked connector so members connect through their organization’s identity provider instead of completing a separate Unblocked browser sign-in. This setup requires Okta SSO and user and group provisioning. Follow the Claude + Okta setup instructions.

Give your agent organizational context

Once installed, your agent can pull in context from PRs, messaging platforms, issue trackers, and documentation. Depending on your agent and its configuration, it may call these tools on its own or when you ask it to use Unblocked.
These two tools replaced the earlier five-tool MCP surface (unblocked_context_engine, research_task, data_retrieval, historical_context, and link_resolver) in April 2026. If an agent or configuration references the old tool names by hand, migrate it to context_research or context_get_urls.
