Evidence:
- [MCP-001](https://govna.io/solutions/security-leaders#MCP-001)
- [AUD-001](https://govna.io/solutions/security-leaders#AUD-001)

Endpoint: `https://agw.govna.io/mcp`

Govna exposes this Streamable HTTP endpoint behind OAuth and exact consent
([MCP-001](/solutions/security-leaders#MCP-001)).

1. Open Customize → Connectors. Team and Enterprise owners first add it under
   Organization settings → Connectors.
2. Choose Add custom connector and enter the Govna endpoint.
3. Connect, sign in to Govna, and approve the exact identities, tools, and
   duration.

```
Connector name: Govna
Remote MCP URL: https://agw.govna.io/mcp
Authentication: OAuth — discovered automatically
```

Then, for every client: Govna opens in the browser. Sign in, choose
identities, tools, and duration, then approve. An audit intent is committed
before your first dispatched call, or the call is denied rather than run
un-audited ([AUD-001](/solutions/security-leaders#AUD-001)).
