External Tool Connectors
By connecting an external service’s tools to the assistant, you can use that service’s features within a conversation (services that support MCP).
Where to set it up
Section titled “Where to set it up”Add and manage connectors from the “Plugins” panel in the assistant screen.
How to add
Section titled “How to add”- In the connectors panel, enter the service’s URL to add it.
- The connection method is detected automatically; you may be asked to authenticate.
- No authentication — Connects directly.
- Browser authentication (OAuth) — Approve in a popup to connect.
- API key / token (Bearer) — Enter an issued key.
- Once connected, that service’s tools are added to the assistant.
Using a connected tool
Section titled “Using a connected tool”After connecting, just ask normally in the conversation and the assistant uses it automatically — for example, “Tell me about this repository” or “Show me the Linear issues.”
Managing
Section titled “Managing”- Re-authenticate — Renew when a connection expires or is revoked.
- Delete / re-add — Remove connectors you no longer need.
- Connectors that require authentication show a status indicator.
About safety
Section titled “About safety”- Connector tokens are stored encrypted and not visible to other stores (isolated per store).
- URLs pointing to internal networks cannot be connected (a safety restriction).
- Tools with the same name as platform tools are automatically excluded.
- There is a limit on the number of tools per connector.
