# MCP Permissions

{% hint style="info" %}
This page is only accessible to workspace admins.
{% endhint %}

MCP permissions let you control what actions all users in your workspace can perform through any MCP-connected tool (such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot). Changes here apply to every user in the workspace, regardless of which MCP tool they use.

To access MCP permissions, go to [Integrations → AI Code Generators → MCP → Permissions](https://app.aikido.dev/settings/integrations/ide/mcp/permissions).
