You can connect external tools and data sources to Saga so the AI can use them while you chat. Once a tool is connected, the AI can call it during a conversation — for example to look something up in a connected system — without you leaving Saga. This is set up by an administrator for the whole organization. Most people will only need the user step at the end, and only for certain tools.

​
What this is for

Connecting a tool gives Saga’s AI a new capability that it uses on your behalf during chats. The tool provider gives you a web address (and sometimes a credential), and Saga handles the rest. Examples include research databases, internal firm systems, or any service that supports the Model Context Protocol.

​
Setting up a tool (administrators)

Open the Admin Panel and go to the MCP Servers section.
  1. Add the tool. Click Add Server, give it a name, and paste the tool’s web address (its endpoint URL). The provider of the tool gives you this address.
  2. Set how Saga signs in. Choose the authentication the tool requires:
    • None — the tool needs no credentials.
    • API Key or Bearer Token — paste the key or token the provider gave you. It’s stored securely and never shown again.
    • Basic Auth — a username and password combination, entered in the encoded form the provider specifies.
    • OAuth 2.1 — for tools that use a sign-in flow. Save the tool first, then click Connect to sign in.
    • Per-User API Token — each person enters their own personal token instead of one shared firm credential (see below).
  3. Test and turn it on. Use Test Connection to confirm Saga can reach the tool — a successful test lists the capabilities it found. Turn on Available in Chat so people in your organization can use it.
Credentials you enter here are stored securely and never displayed again. If you need to change one, enter a new value.

​
If a tool asks for your personal token

Some tools are set up so that each person signs in with their own token rather than one shared firm credential. If your administrator chose Per-User API Token for a tool, you’ll need to add yours:
  1. Go to Settings > Integrations.
  2. Find the tool in the list and paste in your personal token.
  3. Save. The tool is now available to you in chat.
Until you add your token, that tool won’t be available in your conversations, even though your administrator has set it up.
