AI Hub Connectors

Choose which component connectors and external MCP servers the AI Hub assistant can call, down to the individual tool.

Coming soon

This capability is not available in the latest released version of ByteChef.

The AI Hub assistant can act on external systems, but only through connectors you have deliberately handed it. Settings → Current Workspace → AI Hub Connectors is where that choice is made — and unmade.

The page is reachable by any workspace member, not only administrators: the connectors listed are yours, not the workspace's, so each person curates their own assistant.


Pre-built Connectors

"Email, calendar, docs, chat — and anything else your agent needs to reach." This section lists the ByteChef components you have added, sorted by title, showing the first eight with a Show N more expander beneath.

Each row carries the component's icon and title, and:

  • A chevron that expands the row to the component's individual tools, each with its own toggle and a Configure (bolt) button that opens a popover for pinning that tool's input values.
  • An enable toggle for the whole component — or, when the component needs a connection and none is wired yet, a Connect button in its place. Until you connect it, there is nothing to toggle.
  • An ellipsis menu with Edit connection and Delete.

Add Connector opens a picker of components you have not added yet.

Two levels of control, deliberately: switching the component off withdraws all of its tools at once, while switching one tool off leaves the rest callable. Use the per-tool toggles to hand the assistant read access without write access on the same system.

Custom MCP

"Connect any Model Context Protocol (MCP) server by URL. Its tools become available to your agent in chat."

Add server registers an external MCP server by URL, optionally with an auth token. Each row shows the server name, its URL, an · authenticated marker when a token is stored, an enable toggle, and a remove button.

Expanding a row queries the server live for its tool list, so the tools you see are the ones it advertises right now — not a stored copy. Each has its own toggle, and switching one off filters it out of the assistant's tool list. If the server cannot be reached the row reads "Could not connect to this server to list its tools."
