💬 Use Connected Apps with AskFred

Once your app is connected, you can ask AskFred to retrieve information or perform actions using the tools available through that integration.

For example, with Miro connected, you can ask Fred:

Can you create a flowchart on how to make a hamburger in miro?

AskFred can use the Miro integration to create a new board and generate the requested flowchart. You can then open the board in Miro and continue working on it.

You can also explore other possibilities:

• Canva: Work with designs and other supported Canva resources.

• Sentry: Look up errors and access supported error information.

• Miro: Create flowcharts and visual boards.

The information AskFred can retrieve and the actions it can perform depend on the tools and permissions available through each integration.

⚙ Manage Connectors

Once you've connected an MCP integration, you can manage how AskFred interacts with it. Manage Connectors lets you control which apps AskFred can access, customize the permissions granted to each connector, and disconnect apps you no longer need.

To manage connectors:

1. In the AskFred input box, click the stack (layers) icon on the left side.

2. Select Manage Connectors.

   

From here, you can:

1. Enable or disable connectors: Control which connected apps AskFred can access during your conversations. Turn the toggle On next to the connector you want to enable, or turn it Off to disable it.

   

2. Customize connector permissions: Decide what AskFred is allowed to view or do within each connected app. Click the 3-dot (...) menu next to the connector, select Customize Connector, then select or clear the permissions you want to grant.

   

3. Disconnect a connector: Remove an app from AskFred if you no longer want to use it. Click the 3-dot (...) menu next to the connector, then select Disconnect.
