# Retrieve permission-scoped workplace evidence through Onyx MCP

Search an existing Onyx workspace within an explicit document-set or agent scope, then return source-linked evidence for a coding or operations task.

## Prerequisites

Existing indexed Onyx workspace; enabled HTTPS MCP endpoint; remote HTTP MCP client; scoped personal access token; approved secret storage

## Installation

Install or set up from the source-backed instructions:

Use an existing indexed Onyx deployment. Ask its administrator for the enabled HTTPS /mcp/ endpoint and provision a personal access token restricted to read:search. Register that URL in a remote HTTP MCP client and configure Authorization: Bearer via the client secret mechanism, following the official MCP guide. Do not put credentials in prompts or committed configuration. Verify that search_indexed_documents can retrieve a known accessible document before running the scoped evidence workflow. No standalone skill installer is asserted; this entry is an operator runbook.
