# Connections

The **Connections** category in the Autify Genesis settings screen groups the articles about AI providers, MCP-compatible clients, and external service integrations used by the organization.

## AI providers

The organization can manage AI providers in one of two modes: **managed mode**, in which the platform manages providers, and **BYOK (Bring Your Own Key) mode**, in which the organization registers its own API keys. For enabling and disabling providers and managing BYOK credentials, see [AI provider settings](/settings/connection-settings/ai-provider-settings.md).

## MCP server

For how to connect to Genesis from MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code, and the list of available tools, see [MCP server](/settings/connection-settings/mcp-server.md).

## Apps

For connecting external services such as Slack via OAuth at the organization level, see [Apps](/settings/connection-settings/integrations-hub.md).
