# Connecting

It's the same handful of steps whichever AI tool you use, and you connect with your own Frontitude account.

An editor or an admin turns ***AI tools*** on for the whole workspace. Ask one of them to turn it on if you find it off at step 1.

1. Open the ***AI tools*** card on your [workspace integrations page](https://app.frontitude.com/settings/integrations?utm_source=mcp-docs).
2. Pick the AI tool you're connecting, then follow the steps on the card.
3. Sign in. A browser window opens at Frontitude, so your agent never sees your password.
4. Choose the workspace. If you belong to more than one, you need to pick which one this connection is for. Workspaces don't have names yet, so you see each one listed by its admins' email addresses. Look for the one you recognize.
5. Select the tools this connection may use. They all start selected. You can remove tools later on the [***Profile*** tab](https://app.frontitude.com/settings/profile?utm_source=mcp-docs), and put back any tool you selected here. A tool you didn't select means connecting again.
6. Ask your agent which Frontitude workspace it's connected to. If it names the wrong one, disconnect it on the ***Profile*** tab and connect again.

## More than one workspace

A connection covers one workspace. To work in a second one, add Frontitude to your agent again under a different name, then pick the other workspace when you sign in.

You probably belong to one workspace only, so this rarely comes up.

## Guides for each AI tool

AI tools move their menus around often. If a step below doesn't match what you see, check the AI tool's own documentation. Every guide links to it.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.frontitude.com/mcp/connecting.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
