MCP Integration

Connect Appaca to any MCP server

Appaca speaks the Model Context Protocol. Plug in a ready-made MCP server or point Appaca at one your team already runs, and give the Appaca agent, your coworkers, and the apps you build a new set of tools to work with.

Why Appaca

What teams run into building one-off integrations

Every new system your team relies on shouldn't need its own custom integration project before an AI agent can use it.

Every tool needs its own integration

Connecting a new internal system usually means a developer writing and maintaining a bespoke integration, then repeating that work the next time a tool changes.

AI agents stuck with a fixed toolset

Your AI agent is only as useful as the tools it can call. Without a standard way to plug in new ones, it stays limited to whatever was wired up when it was built.

Access that's hard to control

Sharing API keys and scripts across a team makes it hard to know who can act on which system, or to revoke access when something changes.

Platform

Bring any MCP server's tools into your workspace

Connect a custom MCP server once and its tools become available to the Appaca agent, your coworkers, and the apps you build. No engineering integration required.

Connect your own MCP server in minutes

Add the URL of any MCP-compatible server, drop in an auth header if it needs one, and Appaca tests the connection and lists the tools it exposes automatically.

Chat to app Appaca app builder
AI coworkers that use your custom tools

Give any coworker access to the MCP servers you've connected so it can call your internal tools as part of its everyday work, alongside its instructions and knowledge.

Coworkers
Chats and apps that reach further

Enable an MCP server for a single chat or for an app you're building, so the agent gets exactly the tools that task needs without exposing everything to everyone.

Notes
Use cases

Offerings

Every tool built on a platform your team can trust

Authentication, permissions, automations, and security are all built in, so the moment you connect an MCP server it's already governed by the right controls.

Secure team sign-in

Only the people you invite can connect or manage the MCP servers in your workspace.

Role-based permissions

Control which coworkers, chats, or apps are allowed to use each connected MCP server.

Scheduler and automations

Combine your custom MCP tools with scheduled tasks so agents can act on your systems automatically, not only when someone starts a chat.

Secure built-in database

Store the data your MCP-connected tools return in a secure built-in database alongside everything else your team builds.

Enterprise-grade security

Auth headers and credentials for your MCP servers are encrypted at rest and hidden again once saved.

Access from anywhere

Your tools live in the browser. Your team can work with MCP-connected agents from the office, home, or on the road.

File and image storage

Attach files and documents alongside the records your MCP tools create or reference, all in one workspace.

Usage tracking

See which MCP servers and tools your coworkers and apps actually use so you know what's earning its place.

FAQs

What is MCP and why would I connect one to Appaca?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI tools call external tools in a consistent way. Connecting an MCP server to Appaca gives the Appaca agent, your coworkers, and the apps you build access to whatever tools that server exposes, without anyone writing custom integration code.

Can I connect my own custom MCP server, or only pre-built ones?

Both. Appaca ships with pre-built connectors for services like Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, and Airtable, and you can also add any MCP-compatible server by pointing Appaca at its URL. If your team already runs an MCP server internally, or you build one for a specific system, you can connect it the same way.

How do I connect an MCP server to Appaca?

In Settings > Connectors, add a name, the server's URL, and any auth headers it needs, such as an API key. Appaca tests the connection and lists the tools the server exposes so you can confirm it's working before you use it anywhere.

Where can I use a connected MCP server once it's set up?

Anywhere the Appaca agent works. Enable it for a specific chat, turn it on for an app you're building, or give a coworker permanent access so it can use those tools in every conversation.

Is it secure to connect an MCP server with an API key or auth token?

Yes. Auth headers are encrypted at rest, and once saved they're hidden. You can restrict which workspace members are allowed to use a given MCP server, so access matches who actually needs it. A paid plan is required to connect MCP servers.

Connect any MCP server to Appaca

Give your AI agent, coworkers, and apps the exact tools your team needs, whether that's a pre-built connector or a custom MCP server you already run.
