Connectors & MCP
Bring your own tools with MCP
MCP, the Model Context Protocol, is an open standard that lets an AI assistant use tools and data from other services. AI Artifacts includes connectors for Gmail, Outlook Email, Google Drive, Dropbox, SharePoint, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar, and you can add your own remote MCP server or connect a private one through a secure tunnel. You stay in control: each connection has an approval policy, and actions that send or change something ask you first.
- Eight built-in connectors
- Custom remote MCP servers
- Secure MCP tunnel for private servers
- Always ask, approve first read, or reviewed read-only

Who it is for
Made for the way you work.
Writers and students
Drafts, explanations and properly cited documents.
Researchers
Current sources, deep research and reference management.
Professionals
Email, files and calendars connected, with approval for every action.
Developers

Good to know
Use it with confidence.
AI answers can be wrong, so check the sources for anything important. Connectors only reach the accounts you connect, with the permissions you grant, and you can disconnect them at any time. Some capabilities, such as image and video generation and premium models, use credits, and availability can depend on your plan.
