## What is the SignNow MCP?

The [SignNow MCP server](https://github.com/signnow/sn-mcp-server) provides a set of tools your MCP-compatible AI assistant can call via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows your AI to securely interact with SignNow's eSignature APIs in response to natural language requests or workflow triggers.

In short, instead of only suggesting *what* to do, your AI can execute eSignature workflows directly in SignNow.

The SignNow MCP server is an open-source project, allowing you to deploy it within your own infrastructure for maximum control. You can find the source code on [GitHub](https://github.com/signnow/sn-mcp-server) and explore it on the [MCP Market](https://mcpmarket.com/server/signnow) community directory.

## How it works

1. You connect SignNow MCP to your MCP-compatible AI client (like Claude or VS Code).
2. You enter a command, for example: *"List all documents in my account."*
3. The AI selects the **SignNow tool** and triggers the appropriate action.
4. The SignNow MCP securely calls the **SignNow API**, which executes the requested action.
5. Finally, the SignNow MCP returns the structured results (JSON) back to the AI.
