Working with your hosted Patchworks MCP server deployment

Introduction

Once your hosted Patchworks MCP server is deployed, it's ready for connection to any AI assistant. However, over time, you may wish to customise your server - perhaps adding or adjusting tools.

If you decide to update the default Patchworks tools for your hosted deployment, you'll need to be aware of your server deployment status. This might be deployed, draft, or inactive - as summarised below.
