How connectors work
MCP servers that give your assistant something to search.
Connectors are how you integrate other systems with your assistant — each one is an MCP server the assistant can call. They decide what it can find and do — products, availability, anything else you expose.
Any service that speaks MCP can be connected. That includes your commerce platform's catalogue, a third-party tool's hosted MCP (a Notion MCP, a Stripe MCP, and the like), or an API you already run wrapped as an MCP. There is no fixed list of "supported integrations" — if it exposes an MCP endpoint, you can point the assistant at it. See Adding your own connector.

Your connectors are listed on the left. Select one and it opens on the right, where you turn it on or off and choose which of its tools the assistant may call.
Priority order
Connectors are an ordered list. When two connectors expose a tool with the same name, the one higher in the list wins. Drag a connector by the handle at the left of its row to reorder.
That is the mechanism for overriding a default — put your own connector above Maker MCP and expose a tool with the same name.
Turning things off
Each connector has an OFF / ON toggle at the top of its pane. You can turn Maker MCP off entirely and run only on your own connectors.
To keep a connector but narrow it, leave it on and disallow the tools you don't want — see Controlling tool access.
Turning off every connector leaves the assistant with no catalogue to search. It will still answer from Adding sources, but it cannot find products.
Revalidating
The refresh button beside Add connector re-checks every connector — useful after changing credentials, or after deploying a change to a server you run. Revalidating is also how a newly added tool shows up in the list.
