# Switch Between Accounts in the MCP Beta

This article explains how to switch which impact.com account your AI client connects to during the impact.com Model Context Protocol (MCP) beta. Use this process when you need your AI client to access a different impact.com account during the beta.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** The impact.com MCP is in beta with a limited, curated set of tools. View the [Quick Start Guide](https://integrations.impact.com/ai-solutions/mcp-quick-start).
{% endhint %}

## Switch accounts for MCP

Account switching is not yet handled directly inside the MCP connection flow. You must switch the active account in app.impact.com, then disconnect and reconnect your impact.com MCP integration.

1. Disconnect your impact.com MCP connection in your AI client.
2. Log in to [app.impact.com](http://app.impact.com/).
3. In the top-left corner, switch to the account you want to use in MCP.
4. Reconnect your impact.com MCP connection. You'll be guided through an OAuth login flow. After you log in successfully, the MCP tools that are available for that account will appear in your AI client.

## What to expect

* The MCP connection uses the account that is active during the connection process.
* If you want to use a different account, you must repeat the disconnect, switch, and reconnect process.
* The tools shown in your AI client reflect the account you connected during OAuth.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Important:** If you reconnect without switching to the correct account first in app.impact.com, your AI client will reconnect to the currently active account instead.
{% endhint %}

## 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/switch-between-accounts-in-the-mcp-beta.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.
