Connectors

Connectors let you give Dekipi Nova access to external tools and services. Once connected, the AI can use those tools during your conversation — for example, searching a Jira board, reading files from a repository, or triggering a CI pipeline.

Nova connects to any service that speaks the Model Context Protocol (MCP). You just need the server URL and, in most cases, an API key or OAuth credentials.

Adding a connector

1. Open Settings → Connectors in the Nova web app.
2. Click Add connector.
3. Fill in:
   • Name — a friendly label like Company Jira.
   • MCP Server URL — the full address of your MCP server (e.g. https://mcp.example.com/sse).
   • Authentication — choose how the service authenticates and enter any required credentials.
4. Click Add connector.

If you chose OAuth 2.0, you'll be redirected to log in and authorize Nova. After that, the connection is set up automatically.

Using connectors in conversation

Once a connector shows as Connected, its tools are available to the AI automatically — there's nothing else you need to do. Just ask naturally:

Check the status of PROJ-1234 in our Jira instance.

Nova will use the right tool from your connected service and summarize the result for you.

Managing connectors

On Settings → Connectors you can:

• Test a connector — click the refresh icon to verify it's still working and see how many tools are available.
• Remove a connector — stops Nova from using its tools immediately. This cannot be undone.

Troubleshooting

• Connector shows an error? Click the refresh icon to see what went wrong. Most often it's a wrong URL or expired credentials.
• Tools don't seem to work in chat? Make sure the connector status is "Connected" — Nova only uses tools from connectors that are actively connected.
• OAuth login didn't complete? Check that the redirect URL configured on your service matches what Nova expects.
