Confidence provides MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that enable AI assistants to manage your feature flags. Instead of navigating the UI or writing API calls, you can describe what you want in natural language and let your AI assistant handle it.

​
What You Can Do with MCP

With Confidence MCP servers, you can:
  • Get help with setting up your integration
  • Search documentation
  • Create and configure feature flags
  • Add variants and define schemas
  • Set up targeting rules
  • Test flag resolution
  • Analyze flag usage in your codebase

​
Before You Begin

To complete this quickstart:

​
Set Up the Documentation MCP Server

The Documentation MCP server gives your AI assistant access to Confidence documentation through semantic search. No authentication required. 
claude mcp add --transport http confidence-docs https://mcp.confidence.dev/mcp/docs

​
Set Up the Flags MCP Server

The Flags MCP server enables your AI assistant to create and manage feature flags. This server requires authentication. 
claude mcp add --transport http confidence-flags https://mcp.confidence.dev/mcp/flags
After adding, open Claude Code, run /mcp and select confidence-flags to authenticate.

​
Create a Feature Flag with AI

This tutorial walks through creating the same header redesign flag as the Configure a Flag quickstart, but using natural language prompts instead of the UI.

​
Verify Your Client Exists

The MCP server requires an existing client. List your available clients to find one to use:
List my available clients in Confidence
If you don’t have a client yet, create one in the Confidence UI before continuing.

​
Create a Flag with Schema

Create a flag and define its schema in a single prompt:
Create a flag called “header-redesign” with a string property “color” and an integer property “size”
Or you can ask it to base the schema of an existing struct in your code base:
Create a flag in Confidence with schema as my header-design struct

​
Add Variants

Add the variants you want to test:
Add a variant “default-style” to the header-redesign flag with color “black” and size 14
Add a variant “new-style” to the header-redesign flag with color “blue” and size 16

​
Create an Override Rule

Set up an override rule to test a specific variant:
Create an override rule on header-redesign for user_id “user-test-id” to see the “new-style” variant

​
Test Flag Resolution

Verify your configuration works as expected:
Test resolving header-redesign for a user with user_id “user-test-id”
The AI assistant tells you which variant resolves and why.

​
Example Prompts for Common Tasks

Use these prompts for everyday flag management:

​
Flag Operations

  • “List all feature flags in Confidence”
  • “Get details about the checkout-flow flag”
  • “Create a boolean flag called enable-dark-mode”
  • “Add a variant to the signup-experiment flag”

​
Targeting and Rules

  • “Create an override rule on checkout-flow for user_id ‘test-user’ to see variant ‘new-checkout’”
  • “Test what variant resolves for checkout-flow with user_id ‘test-user‘“

​
Documentation and Integration

  • “Show how to integrate Confidence with Python”
  • “Search documentation for information about A/B testing”
  • “Show the React SDK integration guide”

​
Codebase Analysis

  • “Analyze what flags to clean up in this codebase”
  • “Find where the header-redesign flag appears in the code”
