Connectors

Connect your computer to different systems with AirSync or MCP

Connectors are how you wire Computer up to your other tools. Open them from Settings → Connectors. The page unifies two kinds of connectors in one searchable catalog:

  • AirSync connectors bring data into Computer (your Salesforce opportunities, Jira issues, Zendesk tickets, Notion pages, etc.). Computer keeps a synced copy and can search and reason over it in any chat.

  • MCP connectors bring tools into Computer (create a Jira issue, post to Slack, run a query). Tools are called live by the agent when needed, nothing is synced.

Connecting a source

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → AirSyncs and find the connector in the grid (the search field filters as you type).

2. Click the connector card, then click Connect in the modal.

3. Authorize the connection. Most connectors use OAuth, your browser opens, you sign in, and you are returned to the app. Some connectors use a Personal Access Token or API key instead; follow the prompts for the credential type required.

Each card shows its connection state at a glance with a green Connected chip when the connector is active.

AirSync — syncing data

After authorizing an AirSync connector, Computer creates one or more sync units that pull data in the background. Open the connector's detail page → Activity tab to watch:

  • Syncing → Completed — first sync is running, then done.

  • Invalid connection — credential expired; click Reconnect.

  • Map fields needed — schema changed; click Map fields to resolve.

Sync units run manually by default. To put a unit on a schedule, open its kebab menu (⋮) → Edit periodic sync and pick a direction (Source → Computer, Computer → Source, or both) and a frequency. You can also Archive, Delete, or Change connection from the same menu.

MCP — adding tools

Built-in MCP servers appear in the same catalog. Click the card → Connect → pick the credential the server needs.

Once connected, the MCP server's tools gets added on your Computer agent. Open the server's detail page → Access tab to set a mode per tool:

  • Always allow — Computer calls the tool without asking.

  • Needs approval — Computer asks you first (HITL).

  • Block — Computer cannot call the tool.

To update tools after the server changes, open the kebab menu (⋮) → Resync (remote MCP servers only).

Add a custom MCP server

If you have your own MCP server or one that does not appear in the catalog, you can add it manually.

> 📝 Note: Adding a custom MCP server is restricted to admins. Once a server is added, any user can configure their own authentication for it.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → AirSyncs and click + Add custom connector in the top-right corner.

2. Fill in Name, URL, Slug, and Description, then select the authentication method, either the required service's OAuth or Personal Access Token for a shared secret.

3. Pick or create the connection on the next screen, then click Set up.

To manage a custom MCP server later, open its kebab menu (⋮):

- Remove from agent — stops Computer from using the server but keeps the server record.

- Delete server — permanently removes the server and its configuration.
