# Connect Your Tools

> Let AI Suite work with the other tools you use, like chat apps and calendars.

## What is an integration?

An **integration** is a connection between AI Suite and another tool you already use — like Slack, a calendar, or a database. Once connected, your AI can *use* that tool: read information from it, or take actions in it.

> Think of integrations as **giving your AI helper the keys** to the other tools on your desk, so it can actually help with them.

You may also hear the word **connector** or **MCP** — these mean the same idea: a safe bridge between AI Suite and another service.

## What can this do for me?

* Let an agent read your calendar and suggest meeting times.
* Pull recent messages from a chat tool to summarize them.
* Connect a data source so your app can answer from live information.

## How to connect a tool

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Integrations">
    Click **Integrations** in the left menu. You'll see the tools you can connect.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick a tool to connect">
    Find the tool you want and click **Connect** (or **Add**).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve access">
    You'll be asked to sign in to that tool and allow AI Suite to use it. This is normal and safe — you're giving permission on purpose.

    <Warning>
      Only connect tools you trust and actually need. You can disconnect any tool later from this same screen.
    </Warning>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in an app or agent">
    Once connected, the tool becomes available to your apps and agents. When you build one, you can turn the tool on so the AI can use it. See [Configure the Core Agent](/user-guide/agents/configure).
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Staying in control

* **You choose** what to connect — nothing connects on its own.
* **You can disconnect** any tool at any time from the Integrations screen.
* **Permissions are specific** — a connection only allows what you approved.

<Note>
  If a tool you need isn't listed, your workspace admin may be able to add it, or it may require the developer setup. See [For developers](/user-guide/for-developers).
