Settings · extending the AI
Last updated 2026-09-11
The remaining settings are about what the AI can do — plugins, connectors, tools, skills, and MCP. What they have in common: most of them can be created with a single sentence in a conversation.
Plugin marketplace
The plugin marketplace bundles skills and tools into a set, or installs capability packs you have been granted.
- My pluginsOnce enabled, say “build me an XX plugin” in a conversation to create one.
- What a plugin isA plugin carries no permissions of its own; it simply groups existing skills and tools together.
- What it is forTurning the capabilities you use often into a ready-made suite.
Connectors
Connectors register the callable actions of external data sources and business systems, so the AI can operate them directly.
- How to create oneSay “connect the XX API for me” in a conversation.
- Who holds the credentialsAdministrators configure credentials centrally on the endpoint; users never handle keys.
- Security boundaryThe outbound allowlist and the available endpoints are configured by administrators — connectors can only be built on approved endpoints.
Tools
“Tools” manages the capabilities an agent can call directly, organized by scenario.
- Dynamic toolsSay “turn this calculation into a tool” in a conversation to create one.
- What a tool isA tool is a piece of plain Python with fixed inputs and outputs, callable again and again.
- What it is forFreezing repetitive calculation or processing so the AI can reuse it in one call.
Skills
A skill is a SKILL.md that spells out when to use it and what steps to follow, so the AI works to a procedure.
- How to create oneSay “create an XX skill for me” in a conversation. You can search by name or description.
- Built-in skillsThe platform's built-in skills live on the “Built-in skills” tab.
- Who can use themOnce enabled, conversations and digital employees invoke them automatically when the situation calls for it.
MCP
MCP connects an MCP server and attaches the tools it declares to your agents for the AI to call.
- Adding a server“Add MCP server” takes a local or intranet endpoint.
- Where the tools come fromThe available tools are declared by the server and appear automatically once it is connected.
- What it is forReusing the MCP tool ecosystem you already have.
