Connectors

Connectors let Qoder CN use tools provided by external services. Use one when a task needs information or actions outside the current workspace.

​

Install a Connector

1. Select Extensions in the left sidebar.
2. Open the Connectors tab.
3. Browse by category, switch between Popular and Newest, or use Search.
4. Open View details and review the service, publisher, capabilities, and requested access.
5. Select Install, then complete any authentication or setup.

Begin with a read-only request and confirm the returned account and data scope before asking Qoder CN to change external data.

​

Add a custom MCP server

Select Add Connector to open Add custom MCP. The server is user-level and its configuration is saved under mcpServers in ~/.qoder/settings.json.

• Form: enter an MCP name, choose a transport, and complete the displayed fields.
• JSON: paste a complete configuration after reviewing its command, arguments, URL, and environment-variable names.

Select Add MCP after confirming the configuration. Keep secrets out of task instructions and repositories.

​

Use and verify

Describe the external system, intended action, and scope in your task. Type / to select a connector explicitly. Qoder CN may request approval before a tool call. Confirm installation and authorization, then test a small read-only operation. For custom MCP, check the transport, command or URL, arguments, environment variables, and network. If a write fails, first confirm the target account and service-side authorization rather than broadening permissions.
