What Conecto publishes

Conecto publishes 582 tools in 52 areas behind one MCP address, https://api.conecto.chat/v1/mcp, and each area has an address of its own. Its Connections area reaches a company's other systems, and its account tools hold approval rules, teams, budgets and the audit log.123

An evidence-led setup

Start with a new account, which comes with $1.00 of credit, add one connection to a system you use, and set a team budget before agents call it.423

What to confirm directly

Check the connection prices on conecto.chat/tools/connect, the approval rules you need, and where each area's data is stored.
