Connectors
Connectors let you plug AI assistants and external tools into Waldium using the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Use built-in connectors for Linear, Figma, Slack, and social workflows, or add a custom MCP server and control which tools are available.
Connectors are managed per site. Go to Settings → Extensions → Connectors in your Waldium dashboard to connect and manage them.
What are connectors?
Connectors are MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers that your AI environment (e.g. Cursor, Claude) can talk to. When you enable a connector in Waldium, you're telling the product which MCP servers and tools your AI can use for that site. That way you can create issues in Linear, fetch Figma designs, or run custom tools without leaving your AI workflow.
Where to manage connectors
- Open your Waldium dashboard.
- Go to Settings (gear icon in the sidebar).
- Under Extensions, click Connectors.
From the Connectors page you can:
- See all available connectors (curated and custom).
- Connect or disconnect each connector.
- For custom MCP servers: add, edit, and remove servers and choose which tools are enabled.
- Open each connector’s detail view to see status, tools, and a link to docs.
Curated connectors
Waldium offers curated connectors that you can enable with one click:
| Connector | Description |
|---|---|
| Linear | Create and manage Linear issues from your AI workflow. Linear’s MCP accepts Authorization: Bearer with a personal API key, restricted API key, or OAuth access token (no interactive login hop). |
| Figma | Pull design context, screenshots, and metadata from Figma files. |
| Slack | Integrate with Slack (works alongside the Slack integration for the Waldium bot). |
| Social | Tools for social and distribution workflows. |
Click a connector card to open its detail page. There you can connect (OAuth or API key as required), see connection status, and turn individual tools on or off. Use the Docs / Learn more link on the detail page for connector-specific documentation.
Custom MCP servers
If you run your own MCP server or use a third-party one that isn’t in the curated list, you can add it as a Custom connector:
- On the Connectors page, open Custom connector (or Add custom).
- Enter a Name and the server URL.
- If the server needs authentication, add the required auth (e.g. API key or header).
- Click Test to verify the server responds.
- Enable or disable individual tools as needed.
- Save.
For step-by-step instructions and supported auth options, see Custom MCP server.
Enabling and disabling tools
For both curated and custom connectors, you can choose which tools are available:
- On a connector’s detail page, use the toggles next to each tool to enable or disable it.
- Only enabled tools are exposed to your AI environment for that site.
This lets you limit what the AI can do (e.g. read-only vs create/update) and avoid unused tools.
Links from the app
The Connectors UI in the dashboard links to this documentation:
- Connectors index and connector detail pages link to waldium.com/docs/connectors (“Learn more” / “Docs”).
- Custom connector flow links to waldium.com/docs/connectors/custom.
Use those links for setup help and troubleshooting.
