Connectors
Integrations that expose approved tools to agents — the catalog, how installation works, and how access is governed.
A connector is an integration (GitHub, Linear, Notion, Datadog, a CRM, or a custom MCP server) that exposes tools an agent can call. Wato treats connector access as governed infrastructure: a connector is approved per team, individual tools can be allowed or blocked, and agents only ever call tools through the Wato gateway — never with raw credentials.
Catalog vs. team install
There are two layers:
- Catalog (marketplace) — the set of connectors available in your workspace. Each catalog entry is defined once per org.
- Team install — a per-team decision to approve and configure a connector. The same catalog connector can be installed for one team, several teams, or the whole org, each with its own credentials and config.
A catalog connector carries metadata like slug, name, vendor,
transport, provider, whether authRequired, and a verificationStatus
(pending → verified, or auth_required / failed).
Transports & providers
| Field | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
transport | streamable_http, stdio | How Wato talks to the MCP server. Most connectors are remote streamable_http. |
provider | composio, native/builtin, custom | Composio-backed connectors use managed OAuth and dynamically generated MCP URLs. Native/builtin connectors use standard OAuth or API-key auth. Custom connectors are ones you add yourself. |
source | builtin, custom | Whether Wato ships the connector or your org created it. |
Where to find connectors
| Location | Who | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| Settings → Connectors | Org admins (or tools:manage) | Browse the marketplace, approve connectors, review requests, create custom MCPs. |
| Teams → [Team] → Connectors | Team members | See connectors installed for the team and open one to configure or use it. |
| Teams → [Team] → Connectors → [connector] | Team members (config needs tools:manage/team admin) | Authenticate, set per-connector config, and sync tools. |
If a connector you need isn't approved yet, you can request it; an admin approves or rejects the request.
