# Connections

> Connect to 50+ databases and tools

Connections let you plug your existing tools into camelAI. Connect a database,
a SaaS platform, or a cloud provider — then build apps that read from and write
to them. No API plumbing required.

## Adding a connection

You can add connections two ways:

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Through Settings">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open workspace settings">
        Go to **Settings → Connections** in your workspace.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Pick a service">
        Choose from the catalog of 50+ integrations.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Authenticate">
        Enter credentials or sign in via OAuth, depending on the service.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Through the agent">
    Just ask the agent in any chat:

    > Connect my Stripe account

    or

    > I want to pull data from our Snowflake warehouse

    The agent will walk you through setup — it may open a credential entry form
    for you, or handle the configuration directly.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## How connections work

* **Encrypted storage** — credentials are encrypted at rest and never exposed in logs or chat
* **Auto-injected** — once connected, the integration is available to the agent and to
  your deployed apps' server-side code through a secure connection binding. camelAI adds
  the credentials when your app calls out, so raw keys never appear in your code, logs, or chat
* **Any chat, any project** — once connected, the agent can use the integration from any
  conversation in your workspace

    <Note>
      These connections let apps the agent builds call AI models. They don't
      power the agent itself — for that, see [Model Providers](/plans/model-providers).
    </Note>
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Custom API">
    Connect to **any HTTP API** with bearer, basic, or custom authentication.
    Define up to 10 credential fields. The agent will guide you through setup.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Using connections in your apps

Once connected, just describe what you want in plain English:

> Pull my last 30 days of Stripe charges and show them in a sortable table

> Every morning, query our Snowflake warehouse for yesterday's signups and email
> me a summary

> Build a dashboard that shows our PostHog events alongside Stripe revenue

The agent handles the code. Your credentials are already available — no config files,
no `.env` management, no API key juggling.

<Tip>
  You don't need to know how the API works. Just describe what you want and the
  agent figures out the integration details.
