Add a custom connector by hand
In NeuralVault 2.0 a custom MCP server is added with the "Connect a new server" form: give it a command, test it, choose what agents may call, then save; it needs the Personal edition.

Steps
- Open Settings, then Connections and data, then Connectors and integrations. Open the Add menu and choose "Add a custom connector".
- Fill in "Server ID" (for example nv-fast-web), "Command" (for example node, npx or python), and "Arguments (one per line)".
- If the server needs secrets, list their names in "Environment variable names (comma-separated, optional)", then fill in the value boxes. A blank value box keeps a value already stored.
- Press "Test connection". The app runs the command and waits for it to list its tools, which can take up to 30 seconds.
- Read the tool list. Each tool has a read-only option: "Read-only: an agent may call it with no approval". Choose what to grant.
- Press "Save connector". It then appears on the Yours tab.
How to tell it worked
The connector shows on the Yours tab, and its Check button reports "Answered" with a tool count.
If it does not work
- Test connection stays on "Connecting…".
- It can take up to 30 seconds while the command starts and lists its tools. If it fails after that, check the command and arguments by running them yourself in a terminal.
- The server declares no tools.
- The screen says so. There is nothing to grant. Check the server is the right one and starts correctly.
- The message says the connector was saved but some values could not be stored.
- It names which. Set them from the connector’s own credentials panel.
- You cannot add a connector.
- The screen states that adding a connector needs the Personal edition.
