# Connect

> The ways to call a connector's actions, from an AI platform or from your own code.

Every connector needs a [connector profile](/gateway/quickstart#setup-connector-profile) and a [linked account](/gateway/quickstart#link-account) first. With an account linked, its actions are ready to use.

Attach them to an [AI platform](#attach-an-ai-platform), or use one of the [protocols and SDKs](#protocols--sdks) that fits your stack. All share the same actions and authentication for simplicity.

## Attach an AI platform

Pick the platform your users already run. Each connects over MCP:

## Test your actions

Try a connector's actions before wiring them into your product. Pick the tool that fits what you're checking:
