Add a provider

A provider gives your agents access to a service, such as GitHub or Linear. Your agents can only call the providers in your workspace. Only workspace owners can add a provider.Choose a provider from Coral’s catalog, or add your own from an MCP server or an OpenAPI document.A new provider starts with a default policy. Tools that read data run without approval. Other tools need approval. Workspace owners can change the policy.

Connect your agent

Connect your agent to Coral once, and it can use every provider in your workspace. Copy the setup for your MCP client from the Coral UI. It already contains your workspace’s URL.
4

Ask a question

Ask your agent something that needs your provider. For example, if you’ve connected GitHub, you could ask:
What are my open pull requests?
