Open Connector Overview

open-connector MCP server gives AI agents access to a shared catalog of more than 1,000 providers and 10,000 prebuilt Actions. It keeps provider credentials behind a gateway while agents discover schemas, select connection aliases, and execute Actions through MCP, HTTP, OpenAPI, the Connector SDK, or the oo CLI. Deploy it locally, on your own infrastructure, or through OOMOL's hosted runtime. Reach for it when an agent product needs reusable access to users' SaaS accounts with scoped tokens, OAuth, policies, and inspectable run logs.

Primary Use Cases for Open Connector:
  • Connect agent workflows to users' SaaS accounts
  • Expose provider Actions through MCP
  • Inspect schemas and scopes before executing operations
  • Apply allow and block policies to agent tool calls
