description: Connect external services to the agent via MCP.

import { Callout } from "fumadocs-ui/components/callout";

Connectors let the agent interact with your external services using the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. When you enable a connector, it provides new tools that the agent can use dynamically during conversations.

<Callout type="info">
  MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that allows AI models to securely access external data sources and tools.
</Callout>

## How It Works

1. Go to **Settings → Connectors** in OpenBrowse.
2. Browse the available connectors by category.
3. Click a connector and authenticate (via OAuth, API key, or personal access token).
4. The connector's tools instantly become available to the agent.

For example, once you connect GitHub, you can simply ask the agent:
> _"Summarize the latest comments on PR #123 in my repository."_

The agent will use its new GitHub MCP tools to fetch the PR, read the comments, and provide you with a summary without you having to leave your current tab.

## Built-in Categories

OpenBrowse ships with several built-in connectors:

- **Developer Tools** — GitHub, Linear, Sentry, Vercel
- **Productivity** — Notion, Slack
- **Databases** — Supabase
- **Analytics** — Stripe
- **CRM** — Attio

## Adding Custom Connectors

Because OpenBrowse supports the open MCP standard, any MCP-compatible server can be added as a custom connector. You can provide the server URL and authentication details in Settings to extend the agent's capabilities with your own internal tools or third-party MCP servers.
