Open **Settings > Connectors**. Filters narrow the list by category, and **Connected** shows what you already use.
1. Pick a connector. Services with OAuth open the provider's sign-in page in a pop-up; API-key services ask for the key.
2. Choose what the connection sets up. File services offer a synced source (pick files or folders, then how often to sync: never, daily, weekly or monthly). Tool services create their tools right away.
2. Choose what the connection sets up. Tool services create their tools right away. Services that can sync ask whether to **Sync into Knowledge**: off by default, on when you started from **Add knowledge** or from Knowledge's **Connect a service**. Left off, the account is still connected and you can sync later with **Sync more content** on its page. Turned on, pick files or folders, how often to sync (never, daily, weekly or monthly) and, under **Advanced retrieval settings**, the same chunking and retrieval options as an upload.
3. Adjust what the tools may do. Each action is **Read** or **Write**, and each can be **Always allow**, **Needs approval** or **Off**. Writes default to needing approval.
**Knowledge** (formerly Sources) is what the assistant searches: uploads, links, and content synced from your connections. The **Add knowledge** and **Add Tool** dialogs, the composer's Knowledge and Tools menus, and the agent builder all start the same flow, and list tools grouped by the connection they use. A service offered two ways appears as one card: Confluence syncs pages into Knowledge and, through **Jira & Confluence**, lets agents search and update Jira and Confluence. GitHub and Linear do both from one connection: see [GitHub](#github) and [Linear](#linear).

One GitHub connection syncs repositories into Knowledge and gives agents GitHub's own [MCP server](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server) as a tool.

- **Knowledge.** The repository picker lists what the connection can read. Each synced repository is one source, read with the connection's token and synced on the chosen schedule.
- **Tools.** By default the tool is the read-only endpoint `https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/readonly`: agents can read code, issues, pull requests and more, and cannot change anything unless the connection [lets them make changes](#letting-agents-make-changes). Its actions are discovered when the tool is created; **Refresh tools** re-reads them.

One Linear sign-in gives agents Linear's tools and syncs Linear into Knowledge. After signing in, members choose what to sync, or skip to keep only the tools; a connection's page adds more with **Sync more**.
