Introducing Connectors — Bolt.new Blog

Until now, giving Bolt context meant doing it by hand. Start a chat, describe the project, list the requirements, paste in the docs, then do it again every time something changed.

Connectors change that. Bolt plugs straight into the tools you already work in: Notion, Linear, GitHub, Miro, Sentry, Context7, Granola, and Jira.

What Connectors do

A Connector is a direct line between Bolt and a tool you use. Once it's live, Bolt can read and edit your Notion pages while it builds, pull live task lists from Linear, or open a pull request from a GitHub issue, no copy-paste required.

Bolt works with the context straight from the source, so you're not playing a game of AI telephone.

Connectors run on MCP (Model Context Protocol), an open standard for tool-to-AI communication. Any tool with a remote MCP server can become a Connector, with no custom integration to build.

Built-in Connectors

Eight Connectors ship with Bolt today: Notion, Linear, GitHub, Miro, Sentry, Context7, Granola, and Jira. Pick one, authenticate with an API key or a sign-in, and Bolt can start doing what that tool supports: reading pages, pulling tasks, opening issues.

Custom Connectors

Need a tool that's not on the list? If it has a remote MCP server, add it as a custom Connector. You'll need:

The remote server URL (from the tool's MCP docs)
The transport type (usually HTTP, or SSE if the tool specifies)
Your credentials (API key or OAuth sign-in)

Public servers that don't require auth skip the credentials step. Most tools that support MCP publish setup docs, so search "[tool name] MCP server" to find them.

Access control

Each Connector comes with a set of actions that match what the tool can do: read pages, create issues, edit tasks, delete files. They're all on by default, and you can switch any of them off.

Connectors live in your personal settings and follow you across projects. Running a lot of them at once can slow Bolt down, so turn on only what a project needs. If you reach for the same tools every time, set them to auto-enable on new projects.

Get started

Open your settings and go to Connectors → Manage connectors. Start with the tools you're in every day. The built-in ones take a few clicks to switch on.

FAQ

Bolt.new is an AI tool that builds working websites and apps from a plain-language description. You type what you want, Bolt builds it right in your browser, and you change anything just by asking. It is made by StackBlitz, and you do not need to know how to code to use it.

No. You describe what you want in everyday language, like a booking site for your salon with a calendar and a contact form, and Bolt.new builds it for you. The code is there if you ever want it, but you never have to touch it to get a working app.

Bolt.new builds full websites and web apps, including the parts people see and the behind-the-scenes pieces like databases, sign-ins, and payments. People use it for landing pages, online stores, booking tools, dashboards, internal tools, prototypes, and mobile apps. If you can describe it, you can usually build a working version of it.

You type what you want to build, and Bolt.new creates a working app you can see and use right away, all inside your web browser. From there you refine it by chatting, for example add a dark mode or move the sign-up button to the top, and Bolt updates the app each time. There is nothing to install, and you can publish it online when it is ready.

Bolt.new builds complete apps, the front end and the back end, and runs them live in your browser with nothing to install. It also hands you the actual code, so you are never locked into a closed system. Compared with tools that only produce a front-end mockup, Bolt focuses on a real, working app you can keep building on and take with you.

Yes. Bolt.new has a free plan that lets you start building right away with no credit card, using a monthly allowance of usage measured in tokens. Paid plans add more usage, a custom domain, and the option to remove Bolt branding. You can see the current plans at bolt.new/pricing.
