🧠MCP Connectors
Give Claude access to your tools while it builds.
5 min read·Last updated 2026-05-17
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard for letting LLMs call real tools. LimAI bundles 21 MCP servers — GitHub, Linear, Notion, Postgres, Brave Search, and more — so Claude can read your actual repo, your actual schema, your actual issues while it builds your app.
Why this matters
Without MCP, Claude has to guess. You say match the style of my landing page and it makes something up. With MCP, Claude can fetch your landing page from GitHub, read your actual Tailwind config, and write code that compiles against your real codebase.
How to enable
- In the builder, click
Connectorsin the top bar. - Switch to the
MCP Connectorstab. - Toggle the servers you want — OAuth-based ones (GitHub, Linear) will pop a consent flow.
- Claude now sees those tools as callable functions for the rest of the session.
Auth types
| Type | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth | GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack | One-click consent, no keys to copy |
| API key | Stripe, Brave Search, Perplexity | Paste once, scoped to your account |
| Self-hosted | Postgres, custom HTTP servers | Bring your own URL |
| No auth | Public Brave/Tavily search | Free, rate-limited |
