2 Your connection to Cortex
This provider-independent MCP endpoint connects your AI assistant to Cortex, the Horizen IT Services gateway. Add it to the assistant you use; the destination and your assigned permissions stay the same.
https://mcp.horizenitservices.com/mcp
Access is granted only by OAuth sign-in when your assistant asks for it. The URL holds no secret: never add a token to it, and never paste a credential into a chat.
3 Download Shellphone MCP
The same door, on your own machine. One file, no installer. Pick your system:
It runs as a local MCP server for desktop assistants: command shellphone-mcp serve --stdio. Your administrator supplies its access credential.
4 Connect to Cortex from your assistant
Use the provider-independent endpoint from step 2. Add it as a remote MCP connector and sign in when prompted.
