**Connectors** link the Cephable assistant to other apps and services you are authorized to
use — a CRM like HubSpot, a ticketing system, an internal API, a database — so automations
can work with your data there. Where a [skill](/docs/using-cephable/automate/skills) teaches
the assistant how to do a task, a connector gives it the tools to reach another system.

A connector is an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server. Cephable connects to it,
discovers the tools it offers, and makes them available to automations. A connector that
needs an account signs in with yours, so it can only do what your account is allowed to do.
