OAUTH 2.1

SERVICE SCHEDULING

Project Management

Planning Center MCP gives agents authenticated access to service scheduling: search teams, songs, and plans, and pull who's scheduled to serve.

  • Per-user credentials: each call uses the actual user's token, never a shared bot.
  • Encrypted per-tenant vault: AES-256, resolved at request time, never in LLM context.
  • Scoped before every call: pre-call scope check, 90-day SIEM-exportable audit chain.

SEE HOW AUTH WORKS
Your users connect once. Their Planning Center MCP credentials stay vaulted, every call is checked, and every action is logged.
1
Authorize
Your user connects
Planning Center MCP
once. We tie it to their identity and the meetings they approved — no shared bot account, no org-wide access
Who:
user ‘A’
when:
Once per user
access:
Limited to user
2
Store
Their
Planning Center MCP
token lives in a vault scoped to them. User A's meetings are never reachable by an agent acting for user B, even on the same connection
vault:
encrypted
scope:
per-user
tokens:
auto-refreshed
3
Resolve
When your agent calls a
Planning Center MCP
tool, we fetch the right token server-side. It never touches your agent, never appears in the LLM context, never shows up in your logs
speed:
~40ms
check:
before every call
seen by:
nobody
4
Audit
Every
Planning Center MCP
tool call is logged — who triggered it, which meeting was fetched, what came back. 90 days of history, tied to the user who authorized it
history:
90 days
export:
SIEM-ready
logged:
every call

Engineering Teams
Engineering standup agent
Pulls commits from GitHub and GitLab, tracks issue movement in Jira, and posts a per-engineer standup brief to Slack. Each engineer's activity is read on their own delegated OAuth.
Engineering Teams
DevOps assistant agent
Polls GitHub for failing checks and stale PRs, opens Linear issues for the ones that need work, and posts a daily digest to Slack. It acts as the engineer, not a shared service account.

Slack triage
Polls Slack for new messages, classifies bugs and support requests with a LangGraph router, files GitHub issues or Zendesk tickets, and confirms in the thread.

Performance review collector
Collects review feedback from Airtable and Google Forms scoped to each manager's direct reports, writes per-employee summaries to Notion, and DMs the manager a Slack digest.

Why Scalekit
Secure your agent's access. Connectors ship in minutes
01.
Shared tokens break per-user analytics
A shared Planning Center MCP token looks fine in a demo. In production every schedule lookup looks like one service account, and you cannot tell which user triggered it. Scalekit resolves the credential of the actual user who triggered the agent, never a shared bot.
// shared token
audit → bot_service_account

// scalekit
audit → user_abc ✓
02.
Authentication is not authorization
03.
Multi-tenancy is architectural
04.
Planning Center MCP today. Ten connectors tomorrow.
“Our agents act across Salesforce, Gong, Google Drive, and more, on behalf of every customer. Scalekit behind the scenes meant we can keep adding tools without ever rebuilding how credentials or tool calling work.”

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the agent access Planning Center MCP as the user or through a shared key?
As the user. Scalekit resolves the credential of the person who triggered the agent at request time, so every Planning Center MCP action in your audit trail is attributed to a real user, not a shared service account.
Where is the Planning Center MCP token stored?
In an AES-256 encrypted vault with per-tenant namespacing. Tokens are resolved at request time, never enter LLM context, refresh automatically, and can be revoked from one dashboard.
Can I limit what the agent does in Planning Center MCP?
Yes. Filter by tool name in listScopedTools to expose only what you want. Scalekit also enforces scope checks before every API call.
What happens when a user revokes access?
The credential is invalidated at the next tool call. The call fails closed, other users' connections are unaffected, and the revocation is logged in the audit chain.
Can the agent see people's personal contact information through Planning Center People?
Only the fields your scoped tool set exposes. Keep the agent to the services_* tools for schedule and song-library read access without touching the people_* tools that carry household and contact data.
