MCP server

The same services and applications are available to AI assistants as an MCP server (Streamable HTTP). Add this address as a custom connector in Claude; it asks you to sign in:

https://test.autowork.ae/mcp

Tool	What it does
search_services	Find Demo Services Authority services by words in English or Arabic, optionally by category or audience. An empty query lists every service.
get_service	One service in full: description, who can apply, documents, steps, fee, time, channels, FAQs, and the form fields submit_application needs.
list_categories	The service categories, for filtering search_services.
get_entity_info	The Demo Services Authority itself: name, contact details, working hours and news.
get_my_profile	The person signed in to the portal: name, email, mobile and how they signed in (UAE PASS or the demo sign-in). Applications are made in their name.
submit_application	Submit a mock application for a service, in the signed-in person's name. answers needs one value per field in the service's form (see get_service). mobile is only needed when the profile has none. Returns the reference number, or the fields to correct.
track_application	The status and history of one of the signed-in person's applications, by its reference number. In this demo an application moves to review after a minute and is decided a few minutes later.
list_my_applications	Every application the signed-in person has made, newest first.
advance_application	Move one of the signed-in person's applications to its next status now, standing in for a staff decision so a demo need not wait.

In Claude Code, add it with this command. Either way the assistant asks you to sign in to the portal first.
