Connections
Connect X, Telegram, Slack, and other tools so your agent can post, chat, and pull context from where you work.
Connections give your agent reach beyond your Paragraph site. Some let it publish and read on social channels, some let you chat with it from other apps, and some give it access to the tools your work already lives in.
All of them are managed in Settings → Agent in your workspace.
X
Connect an X account and your agent can post and read on X: publishing threads, checking how they perform, and folding results back into what it writes next.
A few things to know:
- The connected account is the one your agent uses when working on this publication.
- It's shared with everyone on your team, so the whole team's agent work posts from the same account.
- Connecting X requires the Starter plan or above. See Plans and credits.
Once connected, X becomes a distribution channel. Threads the agent drafts go through approvals like everything else, unless you've granted a standing approval.
Telegram
Connect Telegram and message your agent right from your phone. It replies in the chat, and your conversation stays linked to the same session on Paragraph.
That means no context is lost between surfaces. Start a thread from the couch, and pick it up in your workspace later with the full history intact. It's the same agent, same memory, same voice settings.
Slack
Add your agent to your team's Slack. Mention it in a channel or thread and it replies inline, with everything saved back to your Paragraph session.
This works well for teams: anyone in the channel can see the exchange, and the conversation still lands in your Paragraph session history.
Tools via MCP
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard for connecting AI agents to outside tools. Connect a service over MCP, and your agent can use it directly in chat and in tasks.
Paragraph ships presets for common tools:
| Preset | What your agent gets |
|---|---|
| Slack | Channels, messages, and workspace search |
| Linear | Issues, projects, and comments |
| Notion | Pages, databases, and workspace search |
| GitHub | Repositories, issues, and pull requests |
With these connected, you can ask things like "summarize this week's Linear issues into a changelog post" or "pull the outline from my Notion page and draft the essay".
The Slack preset is different from the Slack chat connection above. The chat connection lets you talk to your agent in Slack; the MCP preset lets your agent read your Slack workspace as a tool.
Custom MCP servers
Beyond the presets, you can connect any remote MCP server. Paragraph supports three ways to authenticate:
- OAuth, for servers that support a standard sign-in flow
- Bearer token, for servers that use an API key
- No auth, for open servers
Add a custom server in Settings → Agent with the server's URL and the auth method it expects. If you're building your own tools, see MCP for developers.
Getting started
Open Settings → Agent at app.paragraph.com.
Pick a connection and follow the sign-in flow for that service.
Test it in chat: ask the agent to use the new connection, and confirm it responds the way you expect.
