# Enable or Disable MCP access

Account administrators can control whether users in their account are allowed to connect supported AI clients to the impact.com MCP. This article explains where to find the setting, how to turn it on or off, and what happens after you save the change.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Note:** MCP access is managed at the *account* level. When you change this setting, it affects all users on that account.
{% endhint %}

1. Sign in to [impact.com](http://app.impact.com) with an account administrator profile.
2. Navigate to ![](/files/14Id0ZaHhZaXJqnqrPMG) **\[User Profile]** **→ Settings → Tools →** [**impact ai**](https://app.impact.com/secure/advertiser/fr/genai-settings-ui.ihtml).
3. In the **MCP** section, find **MCP access** and select the checkbox to enable access for the account, or deselect it to disable access.
4. Save your changes.

## When MCP access is enabled

* Users in the account can authorize supported AI tools to connect to the impact.com MCP.
* Access still respects each user's existing impact.com permissions.
* Users can complete the supported OAuth authorization flow and use approved MCP tools available to their role.

## When MCP access is disabled

* Users in the account cannot authorize new MCP connections through supported AI tools.
* Requests using existing MCP authorization are blocked.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** If you disable MCP access for an account that already has existing MCP connections, you may see a confirmation message. After you confirm, removal of all access can take up to **24 hours**.
{% endhint %}

## Troubleshooting

* **You don't see the MCP setting:** Confirm that you are signed in as an account administrator.
* **A user cannot connect an AI client:** Verify that **MCP access** is enabled for the account.
* Read the [MCP FAQ](/ai-solutions/mcp-quick-start/mcp.impact.com-faq.md) for more information.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://integrations.impact.com/ai-solutions/mcp-quick-start/enable-or-disable-mcp-access.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
