Connect an MCP server
If a system you use publishes an MCP server, connecting it hands your agent every tool that server exposes.
MCP is an open standard for connecting an AI to outside tools, and a growing number of systems now publish an MCP server. If yours does, connecting it hands your agent every tool that server exposes without anyone building an integration for it.
This is the shortcut. Where a custom HTTP tool means describing one endpoint yourself, an MCP server arrives already describing its own tools.
Connect your server
In your agent's Tools panel, choose Custom MCP connection and give it your server's URL. If it requires authorisation, complete the sign-in when prompted.
Konvo reads the server and lists the tools it offers.
Deciding what to trust
Every tool that arrives is off until you turn it on, and they are on or off only, with no verification layer.
Same reasoning as a custom HTTP tool: the four verification modes exist for integrations Konvo built, where we know what each action does. A tool from a server we have never seen could do anything, and a check we cannot guarantee is worse than no check, because it invites you to trust it.
So the question to ask before switching one on is not "do I trust Konvo with this" but "do I trust this server with my customers". Read what each tool claims to do, and switch on the ones you would be comfortable with your agent using unsupervised, because that is what you are choosing.
More than one
Connect several servers to one agent. Their tools appear together and your agent picks the right one for the situation.
If two servers expose tools that do similar things, say which is which in your agent's knowledge, or you are relying on it guessing from tool names alone.
This is not the same as Konvo's MCP server
Two different directions, and the names are close enough to cause trouble.
This page is you bringing an outside system in, so your Konvo agent can use its tools.
Konvo's own MCP server is the reverse: Konvo exposing itself, so an AI tool you use elsewhere can work your inbox for you. That is under Settings > Advanced and covered in its own guide.
One gives your agent more reach. The other gives you a way to work Konvo from outside it.
