Give your agent hands.
A VELYRON agent can do more than talk. Turn on web search so it works from live facts, and connect the apps you already use so it can actually do things — send an email, add a calendar event, update a record. It reaches them through MCP, the open standard most tools now support.
01Web search — zero setup
The simplest capability, and often the most useful. Your agent searches the live web and cites what it finds, instead of guessing from stale memory.
Open your agent, and under Tools it can use, flip Web search on. That's it — ask it something current in the live test and it will look it up. No account, no keys.
02How a connection works
Every tool you connect is just a URL — an MCP endpoint the agent calls. Some servers put the secret inside the URL, so you paste only the URL. Others hand you a separate token, so you paste both.
03Zapier — the easiest way to connect almost anything
One Zapier connection bridges thousands of apps — Gmail, Slack, Google Sheets, Google Calendar, Notion, HubSpot, and more. Zapier handles each app's own login on its side, so you never touch their sign-in flows. This is the recommended path.
- Go to
mcp.zapier.comand sign in to your Zapier account.Free to start. If you don't have an account, create one there.
- Create a new MCP server and add the actions you want your agent to have.
Pick specifics like "Gmail — Send Email" or "Google Calendar — Create Event". Add only what the agent truly needs — this is the agent's whole reach.
- Open the Connect tab and copy your server URL.
Choose the option that gives you the full URL with the token included. Treat that URL like a password — anyone with it can run your actions.
- Paste it into VELYRON.
In your agent → Connected apps · MCP → the zapier preset → paste the URL into Connection URL. Leave the token field blank (the secret is already in the URL). Save.
- Test it.
In the live chat, ask the agent to do one of the actions — "add a 30-minute focus block tomorrow at 9". Watch the "Using zapier…" step run.
Most apps' own hosted MCP servers require an OAuth browser sign-in (below), which VELYRON can't do for you yet. Zapier does that sign-in on its side, then exposes everything as one simple URL — so it's the one path that works end-to-end today for Gmail, Slack, Sheets, Calendar, Notion, and thousands more.
04Popular tools, and how to reach them
Many services now run their own hosted MCP server. Most use OAuth — a browser sign-in that mints a token — so there's no static token to paste yet. Until VELYRON adds one-click OAuth, connect these through Zapier, or paste an OAuth access token if you already have one.
| Tool | MCP endpoint | Auth | Connect via VELYRON |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zapier (3000+ apps) | mcp.zapier.com | URL + token | Paste the full server URL. Recommended. |
| Notion | mcp.notion.com/mcp | OAuth | Via Zapier, or paste an OAuth access token. |
| Linear | mcp.linear.app/mcp | OAuth | Via Zapier, or paste an OAuth access token. |
| Stripe | mcp.stripe.com | OAuth | Via Zapier, or paste an OAuth access token. |
| GitHub, Atlassian, Figma, Slack… | each service's hosted MCP URL | OAuth | Via Zapier, or an access token if you have one. |
| Google Sheets, Calendar, Gmail | through Zapier | URL + token | Add the actions inside your Zapier server. |
Endpoints as of July 2026 — services change theirs over time; the URL you paste is always the one the tool itself hands you.
05Your own tool
Building your own MCP server, or using one that issues an API key? That's a first-class path.
In Connected apps · MCP, click + custom, give it a short name, and paste its https endpoint URL. If it needs a bearer token or API key, paste that in the token field. The agent will discover and use whatever tools that server exposes.
The URL must start with https://. VELYRON only wires up servers that have a real URL.
06Keeping it safe
Your connection tokens are held server-side and are never returned to the browser or shown in a page again — you only see whether a connection is set. They're used only at the moment your agent runs.
An agent can do anything the connection allows. Scope each one to the minimum: pick read-only actions where you can, and only add the specific things the agent needs. To cut access, remove the tool, or unpublish or delete the agent — the link and the bubble stop working everywhere at once.
Your agent has no memory of other people. It only ever sees the conversation in front of it — never another user's chats or data.
