# Overview (/en/docs/platform/integrations)



You can reach CentralCSP without the dashboard in two ways:

* **API keys:** For scripts, CI, and services. A key acts as its creator and has no scopes. [API keys](/en/docs/platform/integrations/api-keys)
* **AI tools and MCP:** For an AI client to read your data and make limited changes, signed in as you. [AI tools and MCP](/en/docs/platform/integrations/mcp)

Both are bounded by the permissions of the person behind them, so the account you use to create an integration is the real security boundary.

The pages here cover the dashboard side: creating credentials and deciding who gets them. Endpoints, authentication, pagination, and the MCP tool list are in [API and MCP](/en/docs/api-mcp).

Alerting also delivers outward, to a signed webhook among other destinations. For more information, refer to [Channels](/en/docs/platform/features/alerting/channels).
