The built-in API cards
The key-authenticated API and MCP cards — one to push documents in, one to ask questions — set up from the console.
This category covers the four ways your own software reaches Naxis Assistant directly: the Ingestion API for pushing documents in, the Messaging API for asking questions over HTTP, Recall for a program's one-call question with a choice of which sources to look in, and MCP for plugging the assistant into Claude, Cursor and other AI tools. Pick the one that matches what you're building — a pipeline that feeds it content, an app that needs grounded answers, an agent that asks and keeps its own notes, or an AI tool that should be able to do all of it.
All four run on the same foundation: a single Bearer key per source or channel, the same access-control rules as the console (an ingested document's groups, a channel's guest groups, or a person's own access), and the same audit trail as every other surface. MCP doesn't add a new capability — it's a third protocol in front of the same two keys, plus an admin key that can also run the console itself.
Start with whichever direction you need: see Ingestion API to push documents in, Messaging API to ask questions from your own application, Recall to ask in one call choosing where to look, or MCP to connect an AI tool. Each key is scoped to exactly one of ingest or ask — a key minted for one plane cannot be used for the other, except an admin key, which reaches both plus the console.

- Messaging APIThe Messaging API lets your own application ask the assistant over HTTP and get grounded, cited answers — the programmatic sibling of the website widget. Every answer is access-controlled and audited…
- RecallRecall is the asking call built for programs: your own application, an automation, or an AI agent that already knows it is asking. One request, no conversation to keep, and the reply carries the…
- MCPMCP (the Model Context Protocol) is the open standard AI tools use to reach outside systems. Naxis Assistant speaks it natively: point Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client at this deployment and it…
