# Seismic

Connect your company's Seismic instance to Cakewalk's MCP Gateway. Every agent tool call against Seismic passes through the gateway and is evaluated against your Policies.

## Requirements

* Seismic admin who can register apps at <https://apps.seismic.com> and enable apps in Seismic Web.

## Required Scopes

OAuth scope the app must request:

```
seismic.mcp
```

This scope is selected by default during app creation.

## Step 1: Create the OAuth App

1. Sign in at <https://apps.seismic.com>.
2. Click **+ Create an App**.
3. Enter an app name, select **MCP app** as the type, then click **Create app**.

## Step 2: Enable OAuth

1. Toggle the authentication switch on (off by default).
2. Select **OAuth2 - Authorization Code Flow**.

## Step 3: Configure the Redirect URI

In the **Redirect URIs** field, enter:

```
https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/api/v1/Auth/Callback
```

## Step 4: Generate the Client Secret

1. Click **Generate** to create the client secret.
2. Copy the secret immediately. Seismic shows it once.

Confirm **seismic.mcp** is selected in the scope picker (it is by default), then save the app.

## Step 5: Enable the App in Seismic

1. Open **Seismic Web**.
2. Go to **Admin Settings** > **My Apps**.
3. Find your app and click **Enable App in Seismic**.
4. Accept the consent modal.

## Step 6: Paste Credentials Into Cakewalk

1. Open <https://app.getcakewalk.io>.
2. Go to All Connections.
3. Find Seismic.
4. Click Edit credentials.
5. Paste the Client ID and Client Secret from your Seismic app's Auth configuration page.
6. Save.

## Verifying It Works

The Seismic Connection card flips to Active on All Connections. From an agent platform connected to Cakewalk, ask the agent to search Seismic content. If Seismic returns results, the Connection is live.

## Troubleshooting

* Invalid redirect URI on consent: confirm the **Redirect URIs** entry matches `https://mcp-gateway.getcakewalk.io/api/v1/Auth/Callback` exactly.
* Tools return permission errors: the **seismic.mcp** scope must be selected, and the app must be enabled in Seismic Web (Step 5).
