Connect your own tools
Add a connection so your forecasts can look things up in your own tools and data.
Steps
- Open the menu under your name, choose Settings, then Connections.
- Under Your connections, choose Add connection.
- Enter a name that says what the server holds, and the server's address. The address must start with https://.
- 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.
- Choose Add connection. Prolepsia tests the server and lists its tools.
- Switch tools on or off, then choose Done. Tools that may change data start switched off.
- On a question, read the line above Run forecast to see how many connections the next forecast will use. To leave one out of a single forecast, open Connections next to the run mode and switch it off.
- 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.
