The 21 October AI Employees and Context Graphs are in preview for existing customers only, and their REST and MCP access isn't documented, so an outside agent can reach the automation platform but not the new parts.\n\n**Tray.ai API + MCP.** Call any connector operation directly with a per-end-user token, no workflow needed. No published prices and no self-serve plan.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kognitos\n\n1. Don't plan on Context Graph or AI Employee calls. Neither the MCP tool list nor the OpenAPI file has them, and both are customer preview only\n2. Call `GET /me/organizations` and then list workspaces first, since nearly every path needs `organization_id` and `workspace_id`\n3. Invoke with `stage: AUTOMATION_STAGE_PUBLISHED` for production and `AUTOMATION_STAGE_DRAFT` to test, then poll the run until it leaves `pending` or `running`\n4. Treat a `waiting` run as a question for a person. Answer it through the exception tools or ask the owner, rather than retrying\n5. Use OAuth with callback port 3777 for the MCP server. Another port can fail with a callback URL mismatch\n\n### Tray.ai API + MCP\n\n1. Use a user token when acting for a customer and the master token only for admin work\n2. Parse the body of call-connector responses for upstream status codes before treating a 200 as success\n3. Point Headless MCP at the workspace's region, api.eu1.tray.io or api.ap1.tray.io outside the US\n4. Pick the workspace at OAuth sign-in. Headless MCP binds it to the session and takes no workspace ID\n5. Ask before any Headless MCP delete. The server won't\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kognitos or Tray.ai API + MCP?\n\nKognitos scores 57 (C) on agent readiness against Tray.ai API + MCP's 55.5 (C), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories. Tray.ai API + MCP leads on reliability, schema \u0026 documentation and maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Kognitos and Tray.ai API + MCP need an API key?\n\nBoth take an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Kognitos and Tray.ai API + MCP without installing anything?\n\nYes.
