# Connections

> Connect your cloud providers, databases, and services to CloudThinker for unified AI-powered operations

Connections give CloudThinker agents access to your infrastructure through the [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](/guide/connections/mcp). Connect a service once and every agent — [Alex](/guide/agents/alex), [Oliver](/guide/agents/oliver), [Tony](/guide/agents/tony), [Kai](/guide/agents/kai), and [Anna](/guide/agents/anna) — can use it without separate setup.

## Add a connection

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a service">
    Browse the catalog below and open the guide for the service you want to connect.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create credentials">
    Follow the guide to create least-privilege credentials — read-only wherever possible.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect">
    In CloudThinker, navigate to **Connections**, select the service, and enter the credentials. The connection shows a **Connected** status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Ask an agent a question against the new connection. Each guide includes a verification prompt.
  </Step>

If a service isn't in the catalog, add it as a [custom MCP connection](/guide/connections/mcp) — no connector code required.

## Security

* **Least privilege** — grant only the permissions the agents need for your use case; start read-only and widen later.
* **Read-only by default** — use read-only credentials unless you want agents to make changes through this connection.
* **Rotate credentials** — rotate keys and tokens on your normal schedule; CloudThinker picks up the new value when you update the connection.
* **Revoke on offboarding** — remove the credential at the provider when you delete a connection or a teammate leaves.
