Connectors

Connectors panel

A Connector exposes an MCP server to the agent. Built-in connectors can be enabled. Custom connectors can be added, edited, imported, exported, and removed. Connector tool calls remain subject to Permissions and the connector policy.

Connector list

The list provides category and status filters, Search, Add connector, and Import. Select a card or name to open its details. Use the switch to enable or disable it. Actions for a custom connector include Edit, Export, and Remove. OAuth connectors show whether they are disconnected, awaiting authorization, connected, or expired; reconnect when prompted.

Cancel returns to the list. Add or Save writes the connector after validation. A high-risk custom connector cannot be submitted until Trust is selected.

Details, templates, import, and export

Detail shows the transport, command or URL, authentication, status, capabilities, and policy. It may offer Test, Reconnect, Edit, Export, and Remove. Import starts with a package or configuration file. Configuration preview and Configuration diagnostics show the fields that will be written; all errors must be fixed before Import becomes available. An exported sharing template does not expose local secrets as plain text, so each importer must supply their own credentials.

The first connector call may ask you to choose Deny, Allow once, Allow for session, project, or global. A broader scope permits more automatic calls later, so prefer once or session unless a persistent grant is necessary.
