Use connectors in a chat
Turn connectors on per chat and ask the AI to work with your data.
Once a connector is installed and connected, turn it on in a chat and ask in plain language. The AI decides which of the connector's tools to call.
Turn connectors on for a chat
Use the MCP Connectors button under the message box:
- Click MCP Connectors.
- Switch on the connectors you want. You'll see "{name} enabled for this chat".
- Switch one off the same way ("{name} disabled for this chat").
You can also type ! in the message box - connectors are listed below the regular tools.
Several connectors can be on at once. Each chat remembers its own selection.
Ask away
Be specific about what you want and where:
In Linear, list the high-priority issues in the Web project
that are still open, grouped by assignee.
While it works you'll see Using {tool} for each tool call, then the answer.
Good to know
- Use a model that supports tools. If you see "Tools are not supported for this model", switch models.
- The AI only sees what the connector allows. Permissions come from the account you connected.
- Write actions happen for real. If you ask the AI to create an issue or a page, it does. Review what it plans to do before confirming, and start with read-only questions.
