Integrations overview

Connect Monad to the tools your team already uses.

Integrations gallery showing connected MCP servers

Monad connects to the rest of your stack in three ways: link previews that expand pasted URLs inline, MCP servers that give Monad's agents the ability to call out to your other tools, and MCP access from other AI apps like Claude and ChatGPT so they can read and write in Monad on your behalf.

Link previews

Paste any link into a message and Monad expands it into a rich preview that shows the title, description, site name, and a thumbnail. Previews are generated from the page's public metadata, so anything reachable on the open web works out of the box.

MCP servers

For everything else, Monad uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP). MCP is an open standard for connecting AI agents to external tools — queries against your analytics warehouse, opening tickets in a help desk, kicking off a deployment, anything an MCP server exposes.

A workspace admin adds servers under Settings → Agents → MCP Servers. Each server has a URL, optional custom headers (used to pass API keys or auth tokens), and an enabled/disabled toggle. Once enabled, the server's tools become available to agents in the workspace.

Turning individual tools on and off

A single server often bundles tools you want alongside ones you don't — a read-only lookup next to a "delete everything" action. You don't have to choose between the whole server and nothing.

Open a server's detail page and click Test to list every tool it offers. Each tool has its own switch, on by default. Switch a tool off and agents stop seeing and calling it from their next run onward — the rest of the server keeps working. Switch it back on to restore it. (A task an agent is already in the middle of may finish using a tool it picked up before you switched it off.)

Tools you've turned off show up in a Disabled tools list on the page (with who turned each one off and when) even before you run a test, so you can review and undo them at a glance. Any new tool a server adds later starts on — turning tools off never hides anything you haven't chosen to hide.

If a server expects per-user credentials, each member can set their own under Settings → Account → MCP Preferences. Personal credentials override the workspace defaults whenever an agent acts on that user's behalf.

Use Monad from another AI app

Monad also runs the other side of MCP — your workspace is itself an MCP server that apps like Claude and ChatGPT can connect to. Once connected, those apps can read your messages, search your workspace, edit your canvases, and post on your behalf, with the same permissions you have.

  • Use Monad with Claude — Claude desktop and iOS.
  • Use Monad with ChatGPT — the ChatGPT app.
  • Personal API keys — for scripts and CLIs.
  • Sessions, grants, and activity — see and revoke every credential tied to your account.
