# Integrations

> What connects to OCTOPUS today, how, and what is not published.

## Two ways in

**Can my AI clients and agents connect to OCTOPUS?**

Yes, in two ways. For research, anyone can query the public concierge at https://octo.ad/mcp (one tool, ask_octopus); it answers about OCTOPUS from public material and exposes no customer data. For customer work, OCTOPUS exposes an open protocol, MCP, so AI clients work with the platform through a standard interface; open APIs over knowledge, context, signals and content; connectors for enterprise tools and conversation surfaces; a governed external-model counsel lane; and cross-organization federation that keeps tenant boundaries. Every connection is authenticated and scoped to your tenant. The authenticated tool surface is shared under early access.

## Integration, by category

- **What the category typically offers:** An SDK (frameworks), connectors (integration platforms) or indexers (search).
- **What OCTOPUS does:** An MCP endpoint, open APIs over knowledge, context, signals and content, connectors, a governed external-model counsel lane, and cross-organization federation. Every connection is authenticated and tenant-scoped.
- **Question to ask any vendor:** Can an outside AI client work with the platform over a standard protocol, scoped to my tenant?

- [How chats, meetings and email enter the memory](/integrations/how-knowledge-enters/): New knowledge arrives as proposals, and a person confirms before anything lasting is written.
- [Connect an AI client over MCP](/integrations/connect-over-mcp/): Point an MCP client at the public endpoint. It has one tool, ask_octopus, and needs no account.
- [Ask over REST](/integrations/ask-over-rest/): Send a question to POST https://octo.ad/api/ask and read the answer and the follow-up.
- [Pages for each connector](/integrations/per-connector-pages/): There are no per-connector pages, because the full connector list is not published.
