Connectors FAQ

Which connectors does ContextuAI Solo include?

Solo ships 10 connectors with 58 built-in tools: database connectors (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Snowflake), source control (GitHub, GitLab), REST APIs, web search, file operations, and the Nexus custom AI agent.

What is a persona?

A persona is a connector-backed chat bridge. You give it credentials once, and your AI can then use that connector's built-in tools — for example, querying a database in plain English.

Can I keep a database connection read-only?

Yes. Provide read-only credentials when you create a database persona so the AI can query and report but never write to production data.

Do connectors work with crews and automations?

Yes. Give a persona to an agent or crew, or reference it in an @mention automation, and combine it with a Knowledge Base and channels for end-to-end workflows.
