Bring Async Check Ins
to AutoGen
Learn how to connect Range to AutoGen and start using 11 AI agent tools in minutes. Fully managed, enterprise secure, and ready to use without writing a single line of code.
What is the Range MCP Server?
Connect your Range.co account to any AI agent and take full control of your team communication and check-in orchestration through natural conversation. Range provides a premier platform for keeping remote and hybrid teams synchronized, and this integration allows you to retrieve team metadata, monitor check-in updates (snippets), and track organizational objectives directly from your chat interface.
What you can do
- Check-in & Update Orchestration — List all managed updates and retrieve detailed metadata including snippet content programmatically.
- Team & User Lifecycle Management — Access and monitor your workspace teams and retrieve detailed user profile metadata directly from the AI interface.
- Objective & Goal Intelligence — Access organizational objectives to maintain a clear overview of team alignment and progress via natural language.
- Activity & Snippet Control — Retrieve specific snippets and check-in details to stay informed about daily team accomplishments.
- Operational Monitoring — Track system activity and manage workspace metadata using simple AI commands to ensure your team remains high-performing.
How it works
1. Subscribe to this server
2. Enter your Range API Key from your developer settings
3. Start managing your team check-ins from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible client
No more manual check-in reading or missed status updates. Your AI acts as a dedicated operations manager or team coordinator.
Who is this for?
- Engineering Managers — quickly retrieve daily updates and monitor team progress without switching apps.
- Product Leads — automate the retrieval of objective statuses and track feature delivery via natural conversation.
- Operations Teams — streamline the retrieval of user metadata and monitor organizational health directly within the chat.

Frequently asked questions
Can my AI automatically find the recent check-ins for a specific user?
Yes! Use the list_updates tool with the for_user_id parameter. Your agent will respond with the most recent check-in snippets and status updates in seconds.
How do I find my Range API Key?
Log in to Range, go to Settings > Developer Settings > API Keys, and generate a new key for your account.
Can I see team objectives via the AI?
Yes, use the list_objectives tool to retrieve all active goals and targets configured in your Range workspace.
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 Range 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.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
