Octonous ships with integrations for 25 apps out of the box. But if you use an internal tool, a niche API, or anything that isn't on that list, you can connect it yourself via MCP. Once connected, Octonous can call your custom tool the same way it calls any other integration.

MCP is an open protocol for exposing tools to AI agents. If a service exposes an MCP server over HTTP, Octonous can discover its tools automatically and make them available in the chat and in automations.

Your MCP server needs to use the Streamable HTTP transport (the standard for remote MCP servers). Local stdio-based servers are not supported.

The URL of your MCP server (a public or network-accessible HTTPS endpoint)

Any authentication headers the server requires (typically a Bearer token or API key)

- Any authentication headers the server requires (typically a Bearer token or API key)

Go to App Connections in the sidebar.

Give it a name. This is how it will appear in the tool picker and in automations.

If your server requires authentication, add the auth header (for example, <code>Authorization: Bearer your-token</code>). Auth headers are encrypted at rest and never exposed in the UI after saving.

Click Connect. Octonous will probe the server, discover the tools it exposes, and save the connection.

1. Go to App Connections in the sidebar.
2. Click Bring your own tools.
3. Give it a name. This is how it will appear in the tool picker and in automations.
4. Paste in the server URL.
5. If your server requires authentication, add the auth header (for example, <code>Authorization: Bearer your-token</code>). Auth headers are encrypted at rest and never exposed in the UI after saving.
6. Click Connect. Octonous will probe the server, discover the tools it exposes, and save the connection.

Once connected, the server's tools appear in the chat composer and in the automation tool picker under the name you gave it.

When you connect an MCP server, Octonous fetches the list of tools it exposes and caches their names. If you update your server and add or remove tools, click Refresh on the connection in App Connections to pull the latest list.

You can connect up to 20 personal MCP servers. In a workspace context, the limit is 50 servers per workspace.

Personal vs. workspace MCP servers

MCP servers can be personal or shared across a workspace.

Personal servers are only visible to you. They appear in your personal chat and automations.

Workspace servers are connected by a workspace Owner and are available to every member of the workspace, unless access has been restricted for specific members via the workspace Permissions tab.

- Personal servers are only visible to you. They appear in your personal chat and automations.
- Workspace servers are connected by a workspace Owner and are available to every member of the workspace, unless access has been restricted for specific members via the workspace Permissions tab.

Go to App Connections, find the server, and click Disconnect. This removes the connection and all associated credentials. Any automations that were using this server's tools will need to be updated.

Auth headers are stored encrypted using the same KMS envelope encryption used for OAuth tokens. The raw header values are never logged or displayed after the initial save. Make sure the server URL uses HTTPS.

Using a different authentication method? Contact us (in Octonous Help panel) and we'll help you get connected.

If the app or service you need isn't in Octonous's built-in integrations, you can connect it yourself using MCP.

{appName} in 60 seconds

This prototype demo is aware that you are reading “{title}”. It can point you back to the current article, but a production article-aware Fin contract is still follow-up work.

Prototype article-aware answer

Because you already asked about invitations, this prototype demo can add the follow-up: use the role selector before sending each invite to limit access to the teammate responsibilities.

Prototype role-limiting follow-up

This prototype demo suggests starting with your workspace profile, inviting the team members who need access, and then connecting the integrations you use.

Prototype getting-started answer

In this prototype demo, integrations are configured from workspace settings. Choose the integration, connect the account, and review the enabled permissions.

Prototype integrations answer

In this prototype demo, invite teammates from workspace settings, then choose the access each teammate needs before sending the invitation.

Prototype invite-team answer

This prototype demo does not have a scripted answer for that question yet. Try asking how to invite your team or open a source article. No production Fin API was called.

Prototype answer unavailable

I’ve got this page open. Ask me anything about it and I’ll answer from the docs.
