Connectors Creation and Maintenance

Connectors are Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connections that integrate external tools into StationOne. They allow your AI to interact with services like GitHub, Google Drive, Salesforce, and many more directly from conversations.

Getting Started

  1. Launch StationOne and select a workspace.
  2. Click Connectors in the sidebar, or go to the bottom of the sidebar → + Add Connectors.

Adding a Pre-Built Connector

StationOne offers curated connectors with OAuth authentication:

  1. Browse connectors by category or search.
  2. Click Add on the desired connector.
  3. Follow the authentication flow:
    • Most connectors use SSO or direct login.
    • A webview opens showing the provider’s login/consent screen.
    • Grant permissions when prompted.
    • StationOne confirms successful connection.
  4. The connector appears in your server list as “Running”.

Available Curated Connectors

Kochava, GitHub, Google Drive, HubSpot, Salesforce, Asana, Jira, Zoom, Gong, Google Ads, Google BigQuery, TikTok Ads, StackAdapt, Amazon Ads, The Trade Desk, Revenue Cat, Sentry, LinkedIn, Zendesk, Airtable, ServiceNow, Survicate, Grafana, LINE Ads, LiveRamp, Samsung Ads, Shopify, Snap Ads, Unity Ads, Yahoo DSP, Liftoff, FreeWheel, Amplify, and more.
