# Connect External Apps with Aura MCP Connector

The **Connectors** page in **Rillet** lets you connect the MCP servers of external tools directly to Aura, so you can reference their data in Aura Assistant and Agents without switching between applications. Each user connects their own accounts, and Aura inherits the permissions you have on the tool when you connect.

### Open the Connectors Page

Follow these steps to open the **Connectors** page:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Open **Aura** from the side panel.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Connectors** in the Aura panel.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

On the **Connectors** page, use **Search connectors** to find an app, or scroll the **Browse connections** list.

### Connect an App

Complete these steps to connect an external tool:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click **Connect** next to the app you want to connect.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Follow the instructions in the authentication window to log in and authorize access. Once you have authorized access, the app shows a **Connected** badge on the **Connectors** page. You can disconnect any app at any time from the same page.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.rillet.com/EjmEP4KZ9BVp9j2ho4Mh/aura-ai/aura-ai/connect-external-apps-with-aura-mcp-connector.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
