Connections

Connect Amantra to email, Microsoft, MySQL, Google Workspace, and more.

Connections in Amantra are configured links to external systems — databases, cloud services, APIs, and AI tool servers. Once a connection is set up, it can be referenced by any workflow or agent on the platform.

Types of Connections

  • Database — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB

  • API / HTTP — REST APIs, SOAP services

  • Cloud Storage — SharePoint, Google Drive, S3

  • Communication — SMTP, Twilio, WhatsApp

  • AI Services — OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, custom LLM endpoints

  • MCP Servers — External tool servers using the Model Context Protocol

Viewing Connections

Go to Connections in the left navigation to see all configured connections with their status (Connected / Error / Not Tested).

Adding a Connection

  1. Click + New Connection.

  2. Select the connection type.

  3. Fill in connection details (host, port, credentials, etc.).

  4. Click Test Connection — Amantra verifies connectivity.

  5. Click Save.

Connection Health

Amantra periodically tests connections in the background. Connections with errors are highlighted and administrators are notified. Go to the connection detail to see:

  • Last tested timestamp

  • Last error message

  • Connection latency

Email (SMTP/IMAP) Connection

Setting up an email connection allows Amantra to securely monitor an inbox for incoming messages or send automated outgoing alerts.

Prerequisites (Google App Password): navigate to your Google Account settings or search for Google App Passwords, log in with the corporate email ID you want to automate, provide a custom name for the integration (e.g., Amantra Automation Pipeline), then click Create and securely copy the generated 16-character password.

Amantra Configuration Steps: navigate to the Connections module, click the + icon, then search for and select Email. In the New Email Connection window, populate: Connection Name (a unique identifier), Mail To (your full email address), Password (the 16-character Google App Password — never your regular account password), SMTP Port (465), Sender Email and Sender Name, Server (smtp.gmail.com), and Use Secure Connection (Yes, to match Port 465). Optionally check IMAP POP 3 to add IMAP POP PORT (993) and IMAP Server (imap.gmail.com) for incoming mail. Click Submit — the platform confirms with a Connected Successfully notification and a verification test message.

Mistral AI Provider Connection

Linking Mistral AI arms your Designer AI Agents with LLM reasoning and processing capabilities. Prerequisites: sign in at mistral.ai, open Mistral Studio, go to API Keys, click Add New Key, name it, and copy the generated key. In Amantra: Connections → + → Mistral, then enter the API Key and Base URL (https://api.mistral.ai/), and click Save. The LLM service is then ready to be mapped inside AI Agent workflow blocks.

Other connection types follow a similar pattern — for example, Microsoft (Office 365 / Teams) and MySQL connections are configured from the same + menu, with fields specific to each service.

MCP Orbit

MCP Orbit is Amantra’s implementation of the open Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard. It allows digital agents to dynamically discover and use tools from external MCP-compatible servers — extending agent capabilities without writing custom integrations.

What Is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol is an open standard for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. An MCP server exposes a catalog of tools that AI agents can discover and call at runtime.

Examples of what MCP servers can expose:

  • File system access

  • Web browsing and search

  • Code execution

  • Database queries

  • Custom business APIs

MCP Orbit in Amantra

MCP Orbit acts as a hub — it manages connections to multiple MCP servers and makes all their tools available to your digital agents.

Digital Agent → MCP Orbit → MCP Server → External Tool

Connecting an MCP Server

  1. Go to Connections → MCP Orbit.

  2. Click + Add MCP Server.

  3. Configure:

  • Name — Identifier for this MCP server

  • Connection Type — HTTP (remote server) or STDIO (local process)

  • URL — MCP server endpoint (for HTTP type)

  • Authentication — API key or OAuth (if required)

  1. Click Connect.

Amantra automatically discovers all tools exposed by the MCP server and makes them available to agents.

Using MCP Tools in Agents

Once an MCP server is connected:

  1. Open any digital agent configuration.

  2. Go to Tools.

  3. Click + Add Tool → MCP Tools.

  4. Browse the available tools from connected MCP servers.

  5. Add the tools you want the agent to use.

MCP Activity Logs

View a log of all MCP tool calls made by agents:

  1. Go to Administration → Agent Observability.

  2. Filter by “MCP Activity”.

Logs show: agent, tool called, inputs, outputs, and timestamp.
