Connect your own tools

Steps

1. Open the menu under your name, choose Settings, then Connections.
2. Under Your connections, choose Add connection.
3. Enter a name that says what the server holds, and the server's address. The address must start with https://.
4. Under Sign-in, choose No sign-in, API key or OAuth sign-in. For an API key, paste the key. For OAuth, sign in at the server's own page after you save.
5. Choose Add connection. Prolepsia tests the server and lists its tools.
6. Switch tools on or off, then choose Done. Tools that may change data start switched off.
7. On a question, the button next to the run mode shows how many connections the next forecast will use. To leave one out, open the button and switch it off. On a question you created, each change saves on the question at once, and Reset to the preset puts it back.
8. When the forecast finishes, check About this forecast to see which connections it used.

Good to know

• A connection is a remote MCP server: a service that offers tools a forecast can call, such as a company wiki or a data service.
• Forecasts you start, scheduled forecasts, automatic reruns and decisions use your connections and your organization's. Chat about a forecast can use them too.
• Organization admins add organization connections, which every member's forecasts can call. A member can switch one off for their own forecasts with Use in my forecasts.
• Prolepsia stores a key encrypted and never shows it again.
• A connection that fails never stops a forecast. Prolepsia skips it and shows it as failed. After three forecasts in a row where it failed, Prolepsia emails its owner, or every organization admin for an organization connection.
• When people besides you can read a question, the start screen warns you that its forecasts may show what a connection returned.
