  "account": "Docusign's Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server entered open beta in May 2026 and reached global general availability on September 30, 2026. The MCP Server allows AI agents to access select Docusign capabilities, enabling users to create, sign, and manage contracts without switching applications. CTO Sagnik Nandy explains that building tools is different from solving actual customer problems. Traditional REST APIs connect applications through predefined requests, while AI agents work differently by understanding natural language and determining the appropriate tools to use. The MCP Server is an open standard that allows AI applications to connect to external data and tools, exposing Docusign capabilities to compatible AI assistants and agents. During the open beta, Docusign discovered that preparing AI agents for wider use presented challenges beyond initial demos. They had to ensure different tools worked well together, across both internal and customer-provided tools. The beta led to expanding contract data, workflow actions, and administrative controls available through the MCP. Docusign added support for local file uploads, local document uploads through the MCP Apps interface, and account-level settings. As of September 30, 2026, the server supported broader agreement workflows and AI-client connections, alongside account-level administration and local uploads. Docusign has reported a significant increase in cumulative active accounts using the MCP, with more than quadrupling during the second quarter of fiscal 2027.",
