Connectors cheat sheet ​

Connectors let an agent read or write outside its built-in tools. There are three families: areas of your own Sales Platform, external apps (HubSpot, Gmail, Slack, Notion, Stripe, and two dozen more CRMs and productivity tools), and custom MCP servers you host yourself. Reach for this page when you're wiring an agent up to your data and actions.

Everything here happens in two places:

  • The Connectors page β€” where you authorize a tool once for your whole account.
  • An agent's Settings β†’ Connectors β€” where you turn an authorized tool on for that specific agent.

There's also a shortcut that skips both: when a task needs an app that isn't connected, the agent offers to connect it right in the chat.

In the app

Manage account connectors at Agents β†’ Connectors β€” app.mychatbot.app/agents/connectors. Turn them on per agent at Agents β†’ your agent β†’ Settings β†’ Connectors.

The Connectors catalog β€” external apps you authorize once per account, then enable per agent

The three connector families ​

FamilyWhere you connect itSign-inWhat the agent gets
From your Sales PlatformConnectors page β†’ From your sales platform sectionNone β€” one clickOne area of your own Sales Platform (leads, chats, orders, …)
External appsConnectors page β†’ a provider card, or right from a chatOne-time sign-in (Stripe instead takes a pasted API key)The app's tools, scoped to your account (powered by our connector service)
CustomConnectors page β†’ Custom connectorYou supply the URL + headersYour own MCP server, called exactly as you configured it

A card must read Connected before an agent can use it

Turning a connector on inside an agent does nothing until that connector is Connected on the Connectors page. A card that shows Connect (not yet authorized) or Reconnect (authorization expired) is skipped at run time β€” the agent simply won't see those tools.

From your Sales Platform ​

The From your sales platform section on the Connectors page hands an agent one slice of your own MyChatBot account β€” no sign-in required, just click Connect. Each connector maps to an area of the Sales Platform, so you can give an agent, say, lead management without also giving it billing.

Sales Platform tools β‰  Sales Platform integrations

These connectors live on the Agents Platform β€” they let an agent read and act on your Sales Platform data. That's different from the Sales Platform's own Integrations (CRMs, calendars, knowledge bases), which are add-ons for your customer-facing sales assistant. Same account, two different surfaces β€” the Sales Platform itself has no "Connectors" section.

Tools in each connector ​

Turn a connector on and the agent can call any of the tools below. When you use a connector from Claude Code / Cursor (via the Connect AI tools dialog), these are exactly the tools the MCP server exposes for that ?domain=.

One big toggle vs. individual areas

In an agent's Settings β†’ What it can do there's a single Sales Platform tools toggle. Turning it on gives the agent the whole Sales Platform surface at once (plus a doc search over channels, integrations, and knowledge bases). The Connectors section below it lets you attach the same platform one area at a time.

The two are mutually exclusive: when Sales Platform tools is on, the individual area connectors are greyed out ("Already covered by Sales Platform tools above"). Turn the big toggle off if you want to pick areas Γ  la carte.

Use a Sales Platform area from Claude Code / Cursor ​

Any Sales Platform area is also reachable as an MCP server, so tools like Claude Code or Cursor can work with it from your editor. On the Connectors page, click the small i (Connect AI tools) on a From your sales platform card to open a dialog with the server address, access-key controls, and copyable Claude Code and Cursor configurations.

The server address looks like this (the dialog fills in your account and the area you picked):

https://api.mychatbot.app/api/mcp/sales-management?account_id={ACCOUNT_ID}&domain={AREA}

Add just the Clients, Leads & Pipelines connector to Claude Code (each connector is a ?domain= β€” this one is sales_clients):

bash
claude mcp add --transport http sales-leads \
  "https://api.mychatbot.app/api/mcp/sales-management?account_id=ACC123&domain=sales_clients" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer mcp_YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"

Or in Cursor's mcp.json:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sales-leads": {
      "url": "https://api.mychatbot.app/api/mcp/sales-management?account_id=ACC123&domain=sales_clients",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer mcp_YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Drop the &domain= part to get every area on one server.

Keep the MCP access key secret

The account id in the address selects the account but does not authorize the request. Every external call also needs the Authorization: Bearer mcp_… access key shown by Connect AI tools. The full key is displayed only when it is created; store it like an API key and revoke it if it leaks.

External app connectors ​

External connectors bridge 29 third-party apps: CRMs (HubSpot, Pipedrive), email and marketing (Gmail, Mailchimp), docs and files (Notion, Google Docs, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Confluence), calendars (Google Calendar, Calendly), spreadsheets (Google Sheets, Airtable), team chat (Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams), project trackers (Linear, Jira, Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Monday, GitHub, GitLab), support desks (Intercom, Zendesk), payments (Stripe), and social (LinkedIn). The exact cards you see are whatever your account's Connectors catalog offers (external app connectors are powered by our connector service behind the scenes) β€” the full per-category table is on the External app connectors page.

To connect one:

  1. On the Connectors page, click the app's card.
  2. You're taken to the provider to sign in and approve access. Stripe is the exception β€” instead of a sign-in it asks you to paste a Stripe secret key (from Developers β†’ API keys in Stripe; a restricted key with just the permissions you need works too, and is safer).
  3. You land back on the Connectors page and the card flips to Connected, pinned to the top of the grid.

To stop using it, click Disconnect on the card. Agents that relied on it lose access until you reconnect.

Connected apps can also start work

Beyond giving agents tools, a connected app can fire app-event triggers β€” "when a payment comes in on Stripe, run my order-logging routine." 57 events across 21 apps.

Don't see the app you need?

Use the Request a connector card at the end of the grid to tell us which integration to add.

Connect apps from chat ​

You don't have to visit the Connectors page at all. When a task needs an app you haven't connected β€” you ask for an email digest and Gmail isn't connected β€” the agent shows a "Connectors that could help" panel right in the chat: each suggested app with its logo, a one-line description, and a Connect button (apps you've already connected show a check mark instead).

From there:

  1. Click Connect. The app's own sign-in opens in a popup β€” your chat stays put. (For Stripe, a paste-your-API-key prompt opens instead.)
  2. Approve access. The card flips to connected, and the app is switched on for the agent you're chatting with at the same time β€” no separate settings trip.
  3. Click Continue. The agent picks the task back up and can use the app immediately.

The panel's Browse all link takes you to the full Connectors page if you'd rather look around. And everything stays account-wide as usual: an app connected from chat is the same connection you'd have made from the Connectors page, available to any agent you toggle it on for.

Ask for suggestions outright

You can also just say "what apps could you connect to help with this?" β€” the agent replies with connect cards for whatever fits the task.

Custom MCP servers ​

If you host your own MCP server, register it directly β€” no catalog entry, no sign-in. Open Connectors β†’ Custom connector (app.mychatbot.app/agents/connectors/custom) and fill in the form:

FieldWhat to enter
NameShown on the connector card (e.g. My Warehouse MCP)
DescriptionOptional β€” what the connector does
Logo URLOptional β€” falls back to a default icon if blank or unreachable
MCP server URLYour endpoint; must start with http:// or https://
TransportStreamable HTTP (use this if unsure) or Server-Sent Events (SSE)
Custom headersSent on every request β€” typically an auth token like Authorization: Bearer …; header names must be unique
AcknowledgementYou must tick "I understand custom connectors can introduce risks" to submit

Click Add connector. It appears as its own card on the Connectors page and, from then on, as a toggle inside every agent's Settings β†’ Connectors.

No credential refresh, no address guard

Custom connectors don't rotate credentials for you β€” if your server changes its token, edit the connector's headers or add it again. MyChatBot also sends requests to exactly the URL you enter, with no safety filtering, so never point a custom connector at an internal or private address you don't control. That's what the acknowledgement checkbox is confirming.

Turn a connector on for an agent ​

Authorizing a connector on the Connectors page makes it available; it doesn't attach it to anything yet. To let a specific agent use it:

  1. Open the agent, go to the Settings tab, and find the Connectors section.
  2. Toggle on each connector you want this agent to reach into, then Save.

The Connectors section only lists toolkits your account has Connected β€” so if something's missing, connect it on the Connectors page first (the section links you there).

An agent's Settings tab, Connectors section β€” toggling the account-authorized tools this agent may use

A toggle is not a connection

An agent toggle only takes effect if the matching card is Connected on your account. If it's toggled on but shows Not connected / Needs reconnect, the agent silently skips it. Confirm the card status before relying on the connector in a task or schedule.

Switching how something's connected

Connected cards pin to the top of the grid. A connector can be connected only one way at a time β€” there's no merge. To change it (say, swap a custom server for an official app of the same name), Disconnect the existing one first, then connect the other.

Best practices ​

Do

  • Prefer the narrowest Sales Platform area that covers the task (e.g. Leads) over the whole Sales Platform tools toggle when the agent only needs part of the surface.
  • Confirm each card reads Connected before you count on it in a task or schedule β€” the agent toggle alone isn't enough.
  • Keep it to a handful of connectors per agent. Each one is opened fresh at the start of a run, so more connectors means a slightly slower first response.
  • Put custom-connector secrets in the connector's Custom headers, not in the agent's instructions.

Don't

  • Don't assume toggling a connector on an agent connected anything β€” authorize it on the Connectors page first.
  • Don't point a custom connector at an internal or loopback address; there's no safety guard on the URL.
  • Don't treat Sales Platform tools (the single toggle) and the individual From your sales platform connectors as interchangeable β€” one is the whole platform, the others are slices.
  • Don't put a Sales Platform MCP access key in the URL or share it publicly. The account id selects scope; only the Bearer key authorizes the request.

Test it ​

  1. Connect the connector on the Connectors page (sign-in for an external app, one click for a Sales Platform area, the form for a custom server). Confirm the card reads Connected and pins to the top.
  2. Open the agent, go to Settings β†’ Connectors, toggle the connector on, and Save.
  3. Ask the agent to do something that needs exactly one of that connector's abilities (e.g. "list my open leads" for Leads).
  4. If nothing happens, check the card status first β€” Not connected / Needs reconnect means the run skipped it. For a custom server, re-check the URL, transport, and headers.
