# Connectors Overview

> The external service connections that extend what the AI can do

A **connector** is a connection to an external service that extends what the AI can do. Through MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard, the AI can call external tools. Manage connectors on the "**Connectors**" page in the "Configure" section of the sidebar.

| **Workspace shared** | Managed on the Connectors page. Multiple agents can attach and use them                            |
| **Agent-specific**   | Registered from the agent's configuration panel. Used by that agent only; not shown in the catalog |
| **Personal**         | Personal connectors (Gmail, etc.) are used only in chats by you, the person who connected them     |

## Using connectors from chat

* The AI automatically selects and runs the tools of connectors attached to the agent, based on the conversation
* You can also name a specific tool or flow with `#` in the composer
* When the AI spots a connection that would be useful given the conversation, it may show a "**Connector addition proposed**" card (additions take effect from your next chat)

## Managing connections

* **Re-sync** — refetch the tool list from the connection. jinba-flow connections also re-sync automatically when you open the Flow console or the composer's connector picker, so the manual action is mostly a fallback
* **Disconnect** — remove the connection. The associated MCP server and its tools are deleted too
* **No access** — connections that have lost access on the jinba-flow side show "No access." Ask the Flow workspace owner to invite you as a member or add an external access rule
