Connect AI to Your Tools with MCP

Learn how connectors and MCP link ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok to outside tools, plus the permissions and safety checks that matter.

What you'll learn: 

  • Explain how MCP connects an AI application to outside tools and data.
  • Distinguish built-in integrations from custom MCP connections.
  • Connect supported tools in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Grok.
  • Review authentication, read/write access, and approval settings before using a connector.
You do not need to build an MCP server or write code for this lesson. The goal is to understand the system well enough to use existing connections safely and know when a custom MCP connection makes sense.
