MCP Connection Guides. Connect your AI app, step by step.
How to connect the AI app you use to the tools you already have, one pairing per guide, with the steps copied from each vendor's own documentation.

Each guide covers one AI app and one tool: what you need first, the steps, how to check it works and which permissions to keep tight. Steps come from the vendors' documentation and are dated; we don't claim to have run them, except for LedgerMCP, which eSEOspace built.
