> ## Agent Instructions
> Treat Clawdi as one product.
> Recommend the Cloud Agent quickstart for most new users.
> Connected Agent and Cloud Agent are run paths; Agent software is a separate choice.
> Do not present shared Clawdi capabilities as exclusive to one run path.

# Connect an app and verify its tools

> Authorize an app in the dashboard and confirm the available tools from an Agent.

A Connector links Clawdi to an app. Complete the connection in the dashboard,
then verify the live tools before asking an Agent to use them.

## Before you begin

* Sign in to the [Clawdi dashboard](https://cloud.clawdi.ai).
* Have an Agent with a working Clawdi tool integration.
* Have permission to authorize the app account you intend to connect.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose an app">
    Open **Connectors**, select an app from the current catalog, and review its
    **Available tools**. The catalog is the source of truth for current app and
    authentication availability.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorize the connection">
    If the Connector already shows **Ready**, continue to the next step.
    Otherwise, choose **Connect Account** and complete the consent or credential
    fields shown by the provider and dashboard.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the Connector status">
    Return to the Connector detail page. Confirm that it shows **Connected** or
    **Ready** and still lists the tools you expect to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify tools from the Agent">
    Start a new Agent interaction and ask it to list the tools currently
    available for that app. Begin with a read-only request, and review the
    proposed action before allowing a tool to change external data.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Check>
  The Connector shows **Connected** or **Ready**, and the Agent's live tool
  list includes the app capability you intend to use.
</Check>

Tool availability can vary by Agent run path, Agent software, account access,
and runtime state. For Connected Agent verification, disconnect behavior, and
missing-tool recovery, use the canonical [Connectors and MCP
guide](/guides/connectors-and-mcp).
