|---|---|---|
| Read-only | https://mcp.altertable.ai/mcp/read-only | mcp:ro |
| Analyst | https://mcp.altertable.ai/mcp/analyst | mcp:analyst |
| Full access | https://mcp.altertable.ai/mcp/read-write | mcp:rw |
Resource permissions still apply. Use the matching scope for a pinned endpoint. See MCP setup.
