These tools give AI assistants and agents access to external apps, APIs and data, such as email, CRMs, databases and file storage, so they can look up information and take actions. They include MCP servers, integration platforms and tool-calling frameworks.

Choosing an integration approach

MCP servers connect assistants to tools through a standard protocol; integration platforms offer many ready-made connectors; frameworks let developers define custom tools. Compare available connectors, authentication, permission scopes, logging and hosting options.

Secure connections

Give AI the narrowest access needed, prefer read-only permissions at first, store credentials securely and log every action. Watch for prompt injection, where content from an email or web page tries to trick the AI into misusing a tool.

FAQ

What is MCP?

Model Context Protocol is an open standard that lets AI assistants connect to tools and data sources in a consistent way.

Can I connect ChatGPT or Claude to my own apps?

Yes, through connectors, MCP servers or APIs, depending on the assistant and plan.
