How to connect AI Agent to other platforms via MCP?
Automation is rapidly reshaping the way we work. With the Connectors feature, Younet enables you to seamlessly integrate your AI agents with hundreds of external platforms using MCP (Model Context Protocol).
Please keep in mind that AI agents are designed to perform tasks and can be personalized, and that AI models are LLMs used in Younet to work with AI agents. By connecting your agent to external platforms via MCP, we are foreseeing your AI agents to do autonomous work for you—handling tasks with minimal or no human intervention.
1. Supported MCP Connections
Before connecting, it is important to know which types of MCP servers Younet supports:
- Supported: Internet-reachable Remote SSE (Server-Sent Events) servers. For authentication, Younet supports None, Bearer token, or Custom header.
- Not Supported: Local CLI (
stdio) MCP servers, and remote servers that strictly require direct OAuth. (Workaround: If your provider only supports OAuth, you will need to proxy the OAuth service through your own MCP server that offers Bearer or custom-header auth).
2. Before You Start
To ensure a smooth setup, please have the following ready:
- Make sure you have already created an AI agent in Younet.
- Grab a Remote SSE endpoint from your provider. This URL usually ends in
/sse. - If your server requires authentication, have your Bearer token or custom header key/value ready.
3. Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Here is the visual flow of how to add your server:
Detailed Instructions:
- Open the MCP panel: In your Younet chat interface, click the command shortcut (▾) in the chat input area and choose
/mcp. - Add Server: Click » Add MCP Server (you’ll see an empty list the first time you do this).
- Fill in the form: Use the details from your MCP provider.
| Field | What to enter |
|---|
| Display name | Anything meaningful to you, e.g., Zapier MCP or Internal Database. |
| MCP URL | Paste the endpoint URL (e.g., https://.../sse). |
| Authentication | Choose None, Bearer token (paste your token), or Custom header (enter key + value). |
- Test Connection: Click Test Connection. Younet will ping the server and list every tool it finds. If successful, you’ll see a green ✅ and the available tools underneath (e.g.,
gmail_find_email). Tip: How do I see a tool’s inputs? Click the tool name in the Test Results or connection list. A panel will open showing parameters, required fields, and descriptions. - Save: Click Save. Your server now appears in the list and its tools are live for your agent to use!
4. Popular Remote Servers to Start With
- Zapier MCP (no-code): Go to
zapier.com/mcp→ Generate Endpoint. Select the actions you trust (Zapier handles the auth to each app). Copy the URL ending in/sseand add it to Younet. - n8n MCP (low-code): Import the Build-your-own MCP Server template in n8n. Tag your production workflows with
mcp. Grab the/sseURL and add it to Younet. - Cloudflare Workers (developers): Fork the official MCP Worker starter. Deploy with
wrangler publish. Provide a Bearer token header if you need auth, then add the/sseroute to Younet.
