MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard for letting AI systems call real tools. LimAI bundles 21 MCP servers β GitHub, Linear, Notion, Postgres, Brave Search, and more β so the Builder can read your actual repo, your actual schema, your actual issues while it builds your app.
Why this matters
Without MCP, LimAI has to infer context from your prompt. You say match the style of my landing page and it works from description alone. With MCP, LimAI can fetch your landing page from GitHub, read your actual Tailwind config, and write code that compiles against your real codebase.
How to enable
- In the builder, click
Connectorsin the top bar. - Switch to the
MCP Connectorstab. - Toggle the servers you want β OAuth-based ones (GitHub, Linear) will pop a consent flow.
- LimAI can use those tools for the rest of the session.
Auth types
| Type | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OAuth | GitHub, Linear, Notion, Slack | One-click consent, no keys to copy |
| API key | Stripe, Brave Search, Perplexity | Paste once, scoped to your account |
| Self-hosted | Postgres, custom HTTP servers | Bring your own URL |
| No auth | Public Brave/Tavily search | Free, rate-limited |
