See everything Sidekick can do#
The Tools page is a unified browser for every capability available to Sidekick — managed connectors (Slack, GitHub, Google, etc.) and custom MCP server tools combined in one view.
Open Sidekick > Tools to explore and configure tool access.
Managed connectors#
Managed connectors are first-party integrations maintained by LumenFlow. Each connector appears as a card showing:
- Connector name and icon
- Connection status — connected, disconnected, or errored
- Account label — which external account is linked
- Enabled toggle — turn the connector on or off without disconnecting
Click Connect on any disconnected connector to start the OAuth flow or credential entry.
Custom MCP server tools#
If you have registered MCP servers, their tools also appear on this page. Each tool shows:
- The server it belongs to
- Whether the server is enabled
- The tool's name and description from the server manifest
Testing tools#
Use the test panel to invoke a tool manually and see the raw response. This is useful when:
- Setting up a new MCP server and verifying tool discovery
- Debugging a routine that calls a specific tool
- Checking that credentials and permissions are working
Governance integration#
Tools are subject to your workspace's governance rules and autonomy policy. A tool that appears in the browser may still require approval when invoked during a routine, depending on your trust level and per-tool policy.
info The
?connect=<key>URL parameter opens the page with a specific connector card focused — useful for deep links from onboarding or other surfaces.
warning Disabling a tool connector does not delete the credential. The connection remains stored and can be re-enabled instantly.
