Organization Accounts
Organization accounts let teams share catalogs, manage credentials together, and control access across members. When your work involves multiple people, an organization keeps everything organized.
What Organizations Are
An organization is a shared account that:
- Owns resources — Catalogs, APIs, and credentials belong to the org
- Has members — Team members with different roles
- Provides a namespace —
https://mcp.toolcog.com/{org-handle}/...
Personal accounts are for individual use. Organizations are for teams.
When to Create an Organization
Create an organization when:
- Multiple people need to manage catalogs
- Shared credentials are needed across team members
- Centralized control is important for security
- Team projects require clear ownership
Stick with a personal account when:
- You’re working alone
- Resources don’t need to be shared
- You’re just experimenting
Creating an Organization
Step 1: Navigate to New Organization
- Sign in to toolcog.com
- Click Create in the header
- Select Organization
Step 2: Choose a Handle
Enter a handle for your organization:
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens
- Will appear in MCP URLs:
https://mcp.toolcog.com/{handle}/...
- Can’t be changed after creation
Examples: acme, engineering-team, product-co
Step 3: Set Organization Name
Enter a display name:
- Can include spaces and special characters
- Shown in the UI and notifications
- Can be changed later
Step 4: Create
Click Create Organization. You’re now the owner.
Organization Ownership
The organization owner can:
- Manage all settings
- Invite and remove members
- Transfer ownership
- Delete the organization
An organization always has exactly one owner. Ownership can be transferred to another member.
Organization Resources
Resources created under an organization belong to the organization, not individuals:
Catalogs
Catalogs owned by the org:
- Available at
https://mcp.toolcog.com/{org}/{catalog}
- Managed by org members with appropriate roles
- Persist if individual members leave
APIs
Uploaded APIs belong to the org:
- Can be included in org catalogs
- Managed by org members
- Credentials are separate from API ownership
Credentials
