How PlutoAI connects to external tools through MCP, and where connections are managed
MCP is the standard PlutoAI uses to connect external tools to your project. This page is a reference for how those connections work. For the catalog of tools you can connect, see MCPs.
The connection model
Every connection follows the same flow. You sign in to the service and approve the access it asks for. There are no API keys to create, copy, or paste. Once connected, the tools that service exposes become available to the agent inside your project, alongside its built-in ones.
Where connections are managed
You can connect and manage tools in two places:
- The public catalog at plutoai.one/integrations.
- The Integrations section of your settings inside the app.
The catalog is the source of truth for which tools are available right now. If a tool is listed, you can connect it.
What you can connect
The catalog groups tools by purpose, covering code and deployment, databases, payments, project management, communication and CRM, and design. For the full list of connectors and what each one does, see MCPs.
Security
Your access to a connected service is stored securely on the server. It is never exposed in your app's code, never shown in the browser, and never handed to the model. You approve access when you connect, and you can review your connections in the Integrations section of your settings.
