MCP connectors

A connector lets an agent use tools from a connected account. Start with one account and a small, read-only task.

1. Open Connectors in the portal and choose an available provider.
2. Follow its connection flow, name the account, review the requested access, and complete authorization.
3. For an account your agents will share, use the Space-owned connection option when it is available. A personal account is isolated to its owner.
4. Open Access → Roles and edit the role held by your broker profile. Add the connected account and select the tools needed for your first task.
5. Ask your agent: “Show the tools I can use from this connected account. Perform a read-only check and show the result.”

Connecting an account makes it available; its role determines what the agent may do with it. Provider availability, connection options, and authorization screens depend on your Space’s configuration.
