Connectors (MCP servers)

Connectors give your assistant new senses: your files, the web, your tools. A connector links it to another program or service, such as a web browser or GitHub. Connectors use an open standard called MCP, so you will also see them called MCP servers. Some need an account or a key; each page says so.
