Integrations

MCP Support

MCP support lets August connect out to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and use the tools that server exposes. It is not an integration: integrations are purpose-built for specific products, while MCP is a generic connection to whatever MCP server August reaches.

MCP support is not self-serve. The August team enables it for customers it has granted access to. To ask for access, get in touch through Contact and Support.

If MCP support is enabled for you, you'll see a Connections tab in your profile settings and can ask August to connect a source directly.

How MCP Differs from an Integration

Every integration in this collection is first-class support August has built for one specific product. MCP support is not: it is a generic connection that is not tailored to any product.

Integrations

MCP connections

What they connect to

A curated set of specific products August supports directly. See the Integrations Overview for the current list.

Whatever is behind the MCP server URL you provide: any product or service reachable over MCP

How each one is built

Purpose-built for each product, with a real connection flow and behavior tailored to it

Generic: August connects to the server and uses whatever tools it exposes

What August knows about the other side

That product's own concepts, like matters, documents, folders, contacts, and email

No product-specific knowledge. The capability comes entirely from the MCP server.

Documentation

Each integration has its own help article

This article

A useful way to think about it: integrations are a curated, supported list that August builds and maintains product by product. MCP is an open door for whatever MCP server URL you provide. A product having an MCP server is not the same as that product being an August integration. See the Integrations Overview for the full list.

How an MCP Connection Works

An MCP connection runs one way: August connects out to the MCP server, acting as the MCP client. August usually finds the server for you, and entering a URL yourself is the fallback.

  • You ask August to connect to a source in plain language, for example "Connect to my Notion."

  • August searches for that vendor's official hosted MCP server.

  • If it finds one, August shows a connect card in the chat with the service's name and a single Sign in button. You sign in to the vendor in a popup, and the chat stays where it is.

  • August then discovers whatever tools the server exposes and can call them.

  • If the vendor has no hosted MCP server for August to find, you can enter a server URL yourself. The connect card has an Advanced options area for the URL and any static headers.

August has no product-specific knowledge of what is on the other end. Anything reachable over MCP can be connected this way, but nothing about it is purpose-built the way an integration is.

This is one direction only. August connecting out to an MCP server is not the same as August being exposed as an MCP server that other tools connect to. This article covers the first.

Managing Your Connections

Users with MCP support enabled get a Connections tab in their profile settings. From that tab you can add a connection, test it, disable it, re-enable it, and remove it. Each row shows the connection's name and its sign-in status.

You can also manage a connection from chat. Ask August to "disconnect Notion", "turn off Linear", or "enable Linear again", and it will remove, disable, or re-enable that connection. August asks you to confirm before making the change.

Removing a connection deletes its stored credentials, so you would need to set it up again to use that source. Disabling keeps the connection but makes its tools unavailable until you re-enable it.

Connections Are Per Person

Each user connects with their own credentials. A connection you add is yours: it is not shared with your workspace or firm, and each of your colleagues connects their own.

August never asks you to paste tokens or passwords into the conversation itself. Sign-in happens through the vendor's own login popup, or through the connection form in settings, where any values you enter are stored encrypted.
