# External MCP Servers

> Connect external MCP servers so Migma can use tool and data context while preparing email.

External MCP servers let Migma use approved tool context from other systems while preparing email work. Use them when the email should reference live product, customer, document, task, billing, or internal data.

<Info>
  Looking for Migma's MCP server for Claude, Cursor, Codex, ChatGPT, or another AI client? Use [Migma MCP](/mcp-server).

## Common sources

* Shopify for products, inventory, customers, and orders.
* Stripe for customers, subscriptions, invoices, and payment context.
* Notion and Airtable for content plans, databases, and knowledge bases.
* Linear, Asana, ClickUp, and Close for project, sales, and customer context.
* Canva for design context.
* PayPal and Square for payment and commerce context.
* Custom MCP servers for proprietary product, warehouse, CRM, or analytics data.

## Connect an external MCP server

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open brand settings">
    Open the brand's settings, then go to **MCP Servers**. The settings sidebar search also finds connectors by name, like Notion or Stripe.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a built-in server or custom URL">
    Select a listed server, or add your own MCP server endpoint.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete auth if needed">
    Some servers require OAuth or provider approval. Authless servers can be tested directly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable tools">
    Review available tools, enable only what this brand needs, and save.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use in email creation">
    Ask Migma to use the connected source while preparing email work.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Best practices

* Connect only sources that contain data appropriate for this brand.
* Enable the smallest useful tool set.
* Review generated content before send or export.
* Disconnect unused servers to keep tool access clear.
* Use [Migma MCP](/mcp-server) when an AI client should control Migma. Use external MCP when Migma should read another tool.
