### What is MCP?

MCP is a standardized protocol for connecting external tools and data sources to AI models. It enables:

* **Custom Tool Integration**: Connect proprietary systems
* **API Wrappers**: Expose APIs as AI-accessible tools
* **Data Sources**: Connect databases and data stores
* **Service Integration**: Link external services

### Setting Up MCP Tools

<Steps>
  <Step title="Configure MCP Server">
    Set up your MCP server with custom tools
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register with Pulze">
    Add MCP server configuration to your space
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test Connection">
    Verify tools are accessible
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable for Assistants">
    Allow assistants to use MCP tools
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Example MCP Tools

* **Database Queries**: Direct database access for AI
* **Internal APIs**: Company-specific API tools
* **File Systems**: Access to document repositories
* **Custom Services**: Proprietary business tools
* **Third-party APIs**: Weather, maps, stock data, etc.

## Integration Management

### Viewing Integrations

The Integrations panel shows:

* **Connected Services**: Active integrations
* **Status**: Connection health
* **Last Sync**: When data was last updated
* **Usage**: How often the integration is used
* **Settings**: Configuration options

### Disconnecting Integrations

To remove an integration:

1. Navigate to the Integrations section
2. Find the integration to remove
3. Click "Disconnect"
4. Confirm the action

<Warning>
  Disconnecting an integration will remove access to that service's data from all conversations and assistants in the space.
</Warning>

### Reconnecting

If an integration fails:

1. Check connection status
2. Click "Reconnect"
3. Reauthorize if needed
4. Verify connectivity

## Integration Permissions

Different integrations require different permission levels:

| Integration | Required Permission | Admin Approval |
| ----------- | ------------------- | -------------- |
| Gmail       | Read emails         | Yes            |
| Slack       | Read messages       | Yes            |
| LinkedIn    | Profile access      | Yes            |
| MCP Tools   | Varies by tool      | Yes            |

## Integration Security

### Data Privacy

* **Selective Access**: Choose what data to share
* **Encrypted Transfer**: All data encrypted in transit
* **Access Logs**: Track integration usage
* **Revocable**: Disconnect anytime
* **Audit Trail**: Complete activity history

### Best Practices

* Only connect necessary integrations
* Review integration permissions regularly
* Monitor integration usage

## Using Integrations in Conversations

Once connected, integrations enable new capabilities:

### Automatic Tool Use

AI assistants can automatically:

* Search Gmail for relevant emails
* Find Slack messages for context
* Look up LinkedIn profiles
* Query MCP tools
* Combine multiple data sources

### Manual Tool Invocation

You can explicitly request:

* "Search my Gmail for emails from John about the project"
* "Find Slack messages in #engineering about the bug"
* "Look up this person's LinkedIn profile"
* "Query our database for customer data"

### Integration Context

Integrations provide context by:

* Adding relevant data to conversations
* Enriching AI responses with real information
* Grounding outputs in actual data
* Reducing hallucinations

## Integration Limits

Be aware of these limitations:

### Rate Limits

* API calls per hour/day

* Data retrieval caps
* Sync frequency restrictions

### Data Limits

* Historical data range
* Number of results returned
* File size restrictions
* Storage quotas

### Feature Limits
