What it is

Connectors give Manus access to the apps and services you already use. When you enable a connector, Manus can read data from that service and take actions in it during a task. For example, Manus can search your Gmail, update a Notion page, or check a Vercel deployment. For an overview of what connectors can do, see the Connectors feature page. Manus currently offers 416 connectors in its catalog. Each connector uses one of three connection types: The catalog has 13 App connectors, 369 MCP connectors, and 34 API key connectors.
This page was last updated on November 2, 2026. Manus adds new connectors regularly, and this page updates when the catalog changes.

How to use it

1

Open Connectors

In Manus, open Connectors. You can also go directly to Explore connectors.
2

Find a connector

Search for the app or service by name, or browse the catalog. Use the directory below to see what each connector does.
3

Connect your account

Select the connector and follow the prompts. For most App and MCP connectors, you sign in to the service and approve access. For API key connectors, you enter the key or token from that service.
4

Use it in a task

Mention the app in your prompt. For example: “Check my unread Gmail messages from today and summarize what needs attention.” Manus uses the enabled connector to complete the task.
If your task needs a connector that you have not enabled, Manus recommends it in the conversation. Manus enables it only after you approve. If the connector needs a sign-in, you must complete that step yourself. To connect a service that is not in the catalog, see Custom MCP Servers.

Connector directory

Select a category to see its connectors. The Type column shows how each connector connects.

What you need to know

  • Availability can depend on your account. Some connectors, and some Google Workspace services, may not appear for every account or plan.
  • Permissions come from your account. A connector can only do what the connected account is allowed to do in that service.
  • Manus does not bypass permission controls. Manus asks for your approval before it enables a recommended connector.
  • The MCP server defines the tools. The maintainer of each MCP server decides which tools it offers. The tools can change when the maintainer updates the server.
  • API key connectors use your own credentials. Usage can count against the quota or billing of your account with that service.
  • You can revoke access. Disconnect a connector in Manus at any time. You can also remove access in the settings of the connected service.

Tips

  • Enable only what the task needs. Fewer enabled connectors make it easier for Manus to choose the right tool.
  • Name the app in your prompt. “Find the Q4 plan in Google Drive” gives Manus a clearer target than “find the Q4 plan.”
  • Combine connectors in one task. For example, ask Manus to read notes in Notion and create events in Google Calendar.
  • Ask for a review step before changes. Add “show me the changes before you apply them” when a task writes to an external app.
  • Set up connectors for a Project. A Project can recommend connectors, so every task in the Project starts with the right tools. See Projects.

FAQ

App connectors are built-in integrations that Manus maintains. MCP connectors use an MCP server for that service. API key connectors call the service’s API with a key that you supply. All three types work the same way in a task.
Some connectors depend on your account, plan, or region. If you cannot find a connector, search for it by name in Connectors. You can also add it yourself as a custom MCP server if the provider offers one.
No. Manus can recommend a connector, but you must approve it. If the connector needs a sign-in, you must complete that step.
Yes. Open Connectors, select Create, and add an MCP server by URL, add a command-based Custom MCP, or save an API key as a Custom API. See Custom MCP Servers.
Yes. Connect the connector in the Manus web app first. Then pass its ID in the connectors array when you create a task. See the Manus API connectors guide.
