Browse connectors
Explore the apps Elaichi can connect to, see which operations become tools, and decide what to connect next.
Where to find it: Connectors in the sidebar, then open any connector.
A connector describes an app, such as Slack, Jira or Salesforce, and the tools it offers. Connecting an account turns a connector into a working connection.
Before you start
| Permission | What it allows |
|---|---|
connector:view |
See the connector catalog. The built-in Guest role and every role above it include it. |
connection:create or connection:share |
See the Connect button on a connector. |
Find a connector
The Connectors page lists the public catalog and your organization's custom connectors. Each row shows the connector's name, its category, and badges for its type.
- Type in Search connectors… to search by name.
- Open the Connector scope filter and choose All connectors or Custom only. Custom only lists the connectors your organization built or forked.
- Open the category filter and choose a category, or leave All categories.
- Choose Load more when the list continues.
Choose Clear all filters to reset the search and both filters.
The Type column shows Public for a catalog connector and Custom for one your organization owns. A connector you are not allowed to use shows Restricted. Some connectors also show an icon for Beta, for a connector that needs your organization's own OAuth app, or for a native MCP server.
Open a connector
Choose a row to open the connector's page. It shows:
- The connector's Identifier (its slug, which you can copy), Category and Sign-in method.
- Badges for Custom or Public, Restricted, and Fork of when the connector is a fork.
- For a custom connector, the Owner and a Shared access summary.
- The connector's Tools.
The actions at the top of the page depend on your access:
| Action | Who sees it | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Connect | Anyone who may connect and use this connector | Starts the connect flow. See Connect an account. |
| Edit | Anyone with Edit access to a custom connector | Opens the connector builder. |
| Manage access | The owner, or anyone who can share the connector | Shares the connector or transfers its ownership. |
| Fork | Anyone with connector:create on a plan that includes custom connectors |
Copies the connector into one your organization owns. |
| Pull from upstream | Anyone with Edit access to a fork | Imports changes from the original connector. |
| Delete icon | The connector's owner | Deletes the custom connector. |
Review a connector's tools
The Tools section lists the tools an AI client can run through this connector. An AI client reads each tool's name and description to decide which one to use.
| Column | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Tool | The name AI clients see |
| Resource | The kind of record the tool works on |
| Method | The operation, such as list or create |
| Description | What the tool does |
| Schemas | The query and body fields the tool accepts, when the connector defines them |
Search the tools, or filter them by resource and method. The page shows how many tools match.
For a custom connector, a method becomes a tool only when it has a non-empty description. See Build a custom connector.
If a restriction blocks the connector for you, the list is empty and the page says why. If a restriction blocks only some tools, those tools are marked. A restriction blocks a tool whether or not your role has connector:view. See Set restrictions.
Connect from a connector
- Open the connector, or find its row in the list.
- Choose Connect.
- Follow the steps in the dialog. See Connect an account.
The connection appears under Connections with the status Active, and its toolbox appears on the Toolboxes page under Automatic.
If Connect is disabled, the connector still needs your organization's own OAuth app. The tooltip says what to do.
What to know
- A custom connector is private to the member who built it until they share it. You see a custom connector only if you own it or someone shared it with you.
- A restricted connector appears with a Restricted badge but cannot be used until an administrator changes the restriction.
- If a product is missing from the catalog, build a custom connector or fork a close match.
