​
What Are Connectors?

Connectors link external services to Workshop. Once connected, Workshop can use AI models, query your databases, and access your files across all your conversations — no need to manually copy data or explain your setup each time.

​
AI Connectors

Workshop includes managed connectors for Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google Gemini — enabled by default, no setup required. Your apps can call these providers’ models immediately, with usage billed to your Workshop credits. If you prefer to manage billing directly with a provider, BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) connectors are available for each.

Data Connectors

Connect Workshop to your databases, cloud storage, and productivity tools. You provide credentials once, and Workshop can access and query your data in any conversation.

How Connectors Work

When you add a data connector:
  1. Your credentials are stored securely in Workshop’s encrypted storage
  2. Workshop’s agent receives a reference to your connection, not the raw credentials
  3. Data stays in your source — Workshop queries it on-demand rather than copying it
You maintain full control over your data while giving Workshop the ability to help you work with it.

​
Adding a Data Connector

1

Open the Hub

Open the Workshop Hub from the sidebar.
2

Go to Connectors

Click the Connectors tab.
3

Choose a connector

Select the connector type you want to add from the card list, or search by name.
4

Enter credentials

Fill in the required connection details for that connector.
5

Add connection

Click Add Connection. Workshop tests the connection and saves it.
Once connected, reference your connection by name or type in any conversation:
  • “Using my Production Database connection, show me all users who signed up last week”
  • “Query my Supabase data for the top 10 products by revenue”

​
Managing Connections

Your active connections appear in the Active Connections table in the Connectors tab. From there you can:
  • View connection details and status
  • Edit connection credentials
  • Delete connections you no longer need
Deleting a connection removes both the connector configuration and its stored credentials from Workshop.

​
Security

  • Credentials are encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Connections use SSL/TLS for all data transmission
  • Data is queried on demand — Workshop queries your sources directly and does not store your data separately
  • You control access — delete connections anytime to revoke access
Published apps use the same connector credentials you configure in development. Be mindful of which connectors you attach to apps you plan to publish.
