# Connect tools with Connectors

Connectors are **secure bridges** between Work and your external tools and data sources. They let Work retrieve, analyze, and act on data from services like Gmail, Google Drive, GitHub, or Notion as part of a task.

Instead of switching between apps, you ask Work: *"Check my Gmail for unread messages about the quarterly report and summarize them"* or *"Find the latest design document in Google Drive and create a brief I can share with my team."* Work decides which Connector to call, asks for authentication if missing, and requests approval before sensitive actions.

Featured Connectors use a direct OAuth flow. Click `Connect` on the card and authenticate. Administrators can disable specific Connectors for the whole organization on a case-by-case basis.

Connect Work to **any service** built on the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) (MCP). Pick a pre-configured Connector from our directory, or point Work at your own MCP-compatible server. Requires an administrator.

For directory browsing, custom configuration, and security best practices, see our [MCP Connectors guide](/vibe/work/connectors/mcp-connectors).

To connect a featured Connector:

1. Open the `Connectors` page from the sidebar.
2. Find the Connector card and click `Connect`.
3. Complete the authentication flow (typically OAuth 2.0). Your password is never shared with us.

A green `Connected` indicator confirms the connection. You can disconnect at any time from the same page.

<SectionTab as="h2" sectionId="using-connectors">Using Connectors in tasks</SectionTab>

Once connected, Work can use the Connector automatically when relevant. You can also enable a specific Connector for a task:

1. Click the `+` icon or type `/` in the chat window.
2. Select `Tools` then enable the Connector you want to use.

Then describe the task naturally. Work figures out which Connector to call based on your request.

Typical prompts:

- *"What meetings do I have tomorrow?"*
- *"Find the latest Q3 revenue deck in Google Drive and prepare a one-page summary."*
- *"Create a calendar event for Friday at 2pm with the product team."*
- *"Check my unread emails from the legal team and draft replies for me to review."*

<SectionTab as="h3" variant="secondary" sectionId="approving-actions">Approving actions</SectionTab>

When a Connector performs an action on your behalf (sending an email, creating an event, modifying a file), Work asks for your **approval before executing** it. See [Safety and approvals](/vibe/work/safety-and-approvals#approvals) for the full approval flow and the three options (`Continue`, `Always allow`, `Decline`).

You can also pre-authorize specific functions per Connector — see [Per-function Connector permissions](/vibe/work/safety-and-approvals#connector-functions).

<SectionTab as="h2" sectionId="data-privacy">Data and privacy</SectionTab>

Featured Connectors fetch data in real time for your current request. We don't store it on our servers, and disconnecting revokes access immediately.

**Training**: data accessed through Connectors is **never used to train or fine-tune our models**, regardless of your plan. Conversations that reference Connector data are treated as regular user-provided content and follow your plan's [data policies](https://mistral.ai/terms#privacy-policy).
