Enterprise connectors: give AI access to enterprise systems and tools

2,000
MCP registry entries
By November 2025. Endorsed by GitHub, OpenAI, Microsoft, and AWS.
Bundles tool integrations into shareable directories. Each Skill loads only the context the agent needs, preventing the context window from filling with irrelevant tool descriptions.
Per-connector governance
Platform-level controls cover permissions, spend caps, and audit trails. The unsolved layer: which employees use which integrations on which data with which approval workflows.
