# Integrations

Connect services and systems so the agent can use their approved tools.

## Connect a server

Use Integrations to add and test an MCP server. An MCP server is a connection that gives TurnPanel tools for another service or system. Disabling it keeps the setup but hides its tools from Jobs.


### Manage a connected tool server

**Context:** Integrations

The server list shows local, remote, enabled, and disabled connections.

- **Local server** [local]: Runs from this computer
- **Remote server** [online]: Configured external MCP endpoint
- **Enabled** [active]: Its tools can be offered to eligible Jobs
- **Disabled** [waiting]: Configuration retained, tools unavailable

## Authorization

- OAuth sign-in opens on the computer running TurnPanel because the sign-in result returns directly to that computer. You cannot complete this setup from a remote TurnPanel browser.

### Sign in on the main computer

**Context:** Integration OAuth

The authorization flow starts and returns on the computer running TurnPanel.

- **Authorize** [active]: Opens the provider flow on the host
- **Provider sign-in** [online]: Handled by the provider
- **Loopback callback** [local]: Received on the host computer
- Sign in on the provider’s page or use a trusted credential field. Never put passwords, tokens, secrets, or sign-in codes in chat.


## Failures

If tools are missing, check whether the server is enabled, connected, and authorized. If sign-in or access is denied, stop and fix that problem instead of repeatedly retrying or switching services without permission.
