# Connectors & Tools

> Plug your apps and services into Eigi so it can act on your behalf

## Overview

Connectors give Eigi hands in your other apps. Connect Gmail, Notion, GitHub, your calendar, your CRM — and from then on, "check my calendar and reschedule tomorrow's call" is something Eigi can actually do, not just talk about.

## Adding Connectors

<Steps>
  <Step title="Browse the catalog">
    The **Connectors** section has a catalog of ready-to-use integrations.
    Search for the app you want.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect and authorize">
    Most connectors use a standard sign-in: you approve access in the app's own
    login screen (for example, Google's consent page). Eigi never sees your
    password.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it in plain language">
    Once connected, just ask. Eigi discovers the connector's abilities and uses
    them when a task calls for it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  You can also add a custom connector by URL if you use a service that isn't in
  the catalog — Eigi supports the open MCP standard, so any compatible service
  works.
</Tip>

## HTTP Tools

For simple cases, you don't need a full connector. **HTTP tools** let you teach Eigi a single API call — give it a URL, describe what it does, and Eigi can call it whenever the task needs it. Secrets like API keys are stored securely and referenced, never pasted into prompts.

## Managing Connections

  <Card title="Status at a glance" icon="signal">
    Each connector card shows whether it's connected and healthy.

  <Card title="Configure per connector" icon="sliders">
    Open a connector to see what it offers, adjust its settings, or reconnect
    it.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Disconnect anytime" icon="link-slash">
    Removing a connector immediately takes those abilities away from Eigi.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Approvals still apply" icon="shield-check">
    Sensitive actions through connectors follow the same approval rules as
    everything else — you decide how much Eigi does unattended.

## Looking for Plugins?

Connectors give Eigi **access** to your apps. If you want to give Eigi new **know-how** — packaged skills and workflows — that's [Plugins](/eigi-computer/plugins). They work best together.
