With the MCP Gateway, your MCP clients can call your connectors’ tools, such as Linear’s, through Sourcebot.

​
<connector>__<tool>

A tool of a connector you’ve connected, exposed through Sourcebot, for example linear__list_issues. Sourcebot exposes each tool an owner has allowed, named with its connector’s name as a prefix. The prefix keeps tools from different connectors apart. Your tool list updates within a few seconds when you connect or disconnect a connector, or when an owner changes a tool’s permission, adds or removes a connector, or enables or disables the MCP Gateway or a connector. This needs an MCP client that supports tool list updates, such as Claude Code. With other clients, reconnect to see the change. Parameters: the connector’s own parameters for that tool.

​
connect_connector

Signs you in to a connector you haven’t connected yet, or whose sign-in expired. Sourcebot asks you to confirm before starting the connector’s sign-in, so the sign-in link carries no credentials.
  • Clients that support URL elicitation, such as Claude Code and VS Code, open the sign-in for you. Your agent waits until you finish, then carries on with the connector’s tools.
  • Other clients show you the sign-in link to open in your browser. Tell your agent when you’re done.
If a connector’s sign-in expires while you’re using it, clients that support URL elicitation also open the sign-in for you, and the tool call continues once you’ve signed in. Sourcebot only offers this tool when there’s a connector you can connect. Parameters:
