How do I get my McLeod API credentials?

You typically need to contact your internal McLeod admin or partner@mcleodsoftware.com to enable the API and receive your OAuth 2.0 Client ID and Secret.

What is the Company ID?

The Company ID is a unique string used in the `X-com.mcleodsoftware.CompanyID` header to identify your specific TMS database/company.

Is my transportation data secure?

Absolutely. Your credentials are encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.

McLeod Software + AutoGen FAQ

Common questions about integrating McLeod Software MCP Server with AutoGen.

How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?

Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call McLeod Software tools during their conversation turns.

Can different agents have different MCP tool access?

Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
