How to use your connected accounts in a chat

Which accounts appear

Only accounts that bring their own tools appear in the Connectors menu. Today that means accounts connected through the maker's MCP server, which are the cards tagged MCP/CLI in Settings, under Integrations, and GitHub. An account connected by Exa's API key also appears, because Exa's server accepts the key. Accounts connected another way, such as a social platform you post to, do not bring tools to the chat yet, and the menu says so: "No connected account brings tools yet: GitHub and the MCP integrations do."

An account that needs reconnecting has no usable keys and is left out until you reconnect it in Integrations.

Switch connectors on and off

1. Click the Connectors button, the small blocks icon near the model name. A number beside it shows how many accounts are on.
2. Each row shows the service, the account's handle and a tick when it is on. Click a row to turn it off, and click again to turn it back on.
3. Send your message. The chat uses only the accounts that are on.

All connected accounts start on. Your choices are remembered in your browser, per workspace, so they stay when you come back on the same device but do not follow you to another one.

Turning off accounts you do not need is worth doing for two reasons. Each account adds its tools to the chat, and a model handles a shorter list better. Omne also gives a chat at most 128 tools in total, because that is what providers accept, and it fills the list with reading tools first.

What the chat shows while it works

When the AI calls a tool, a line appears above the answer with the service's icon, its name, what the tool does, and a small status mark that spins while it runs, turns into a tick when it finishes, shows a cross when it fails, and shows a barred circle when you declined it. Hovering an error shows the reason. The line above the answer also names the step in progress, for example the service and the tool.

If one account cannot be reached, the chat carries on without it and the AI is told which account failed and why, so it can tell you when your question needed it. One broken connection never stops the chat.

Examples that depend on what you connect

• With a meeting-notes service such as Granola, ask for a summary of your week's meetings.
• With GitHub, ask how your repositories are doing.
• With PostHog, ask how your site did this week.
• With a service that holds your recordings, ask what you recorded lately.

The suggestion chips on the empty chat follow the same logic, so what they offer is a good hint of what your connected accounts can do.

Tools that are never offered

A tool that would sign Omne out of an account, revoke it or disconnect it is never given to the AI. Only Disconnect in Integrations ends a connection.

Reading and changing

Tools that only read run at once. Tools that change something wait for your approval. Owners, admins and members get both kinds. People who can only view the workspace get reading tools only. The details are in How approvals work.

How fresh the tool list is

Omne keeps each account's tool list for about five minutes, because opening a session with every service on every message would be slow. If a service adds a tool, the chat sees it within a few minutes.
