OpenConnector

What is OpenConnector?

OpenConnector is the open-source connector runtime behind OOMOL, built so AI agents and product backends can call actions in third-party apps such as Gmail, GitHub, Slack and Notion. Each app is a provider with defined authentication, action schemas and required scopes, and agents reach those actions through the Connector SDK, the oo command-line tool, MCP, HTTP/OpenAPI or a Web Console. You can run it three ways: on OOMOL's hosted service, which handles authorization and credentials, on Cloudflare using Workers, D1 and R2, or self-hosted with Docker or Node.js so credentials, logs and OAuth apps stay in your own environment. Runtime tokens, action allow and block policies and redacted run logs help control what an agent may do. OOMOL's usage plans start at $0 on the Free plan, with Pro at $20/month and Max at $100/month, and all three include 20K app calls each month.

Use cases

• Give an AI agent access to SaaS apps
• Add connected-app actions to a product backend
• Self-host a connector gateway on Cloudflare
• Restrict which actions an agent can run
• Expose app actions over MCP or OpenAPI

Who it's for

• AI agent developers
• Product engineering teams
• Platform engineers
• Self-hosters

Why use OpenConnector

• Start on the hosted service to avoid running connector infrastructure, then move to Cloudflare or your own servers using the same provider and action model.
• One action layer serves SDK, CLI, MCP and HTTP clients, so agent and backend code can share the same contracts.
• Action policies and run logs let you control and audit what an agent does with connected accounts.
• Credentials can stay inside your own runtime boundary when you self-host.
• The open-source runtime can be inspected rather than treated as a black box.

How to get started with OpenConnector

1. Choose a deployment: OOMOL hosting, Cloudflare, or a self-hosted Docker or Node.js runtime.
2. Connect an app account, which creates a connection with its own authorization and action access settings.
3. An agent, CLI, MCP client or backend selects an action and connection through the SDK or API.
4. The runtime checks access policy, loads the credentials and calls the provider's API.
5. The result and execution metadata return to the caller, with redacted logs kept for review.

OpenConnector limitations

• Self-hosting means you operate the runtime, storage and your own OAuth apps
• Free plan includes no monthly credits, which pay for media and speech services
• App calls beyond the 20K monthly allowance cost 0.3 credits per 1K calls
