Use Cases
Connect external MCP servers through MCP Gateway to create AI-driven workflows that combine multiple systems with your Storage Connections and API Catalogs.
Knowledge Base Integration
Connect Notion and Atlassian Confluence for unified documentation access alongside your files in Storage Connections.
Example queries:
"Search Notion and Confluence for API authentication documentation, then list related files in my S3 bucket""Find onboarding docs in Notion, check related Confluence pages, and read our onboarding checklist from S3""Review data handling policy in Notion and check our compliance documents in Storage Connections"Value: Unified access to documentation systems and file storage, simplified compliance checking.
Development & Error Tracking
Connect Atlassian Jira, Sentry, and Neon for issue tracking, error monitoring, and database management alongside code documentation in Storage Connections.
Example queries:
"Find Jira issues for the payment API, check recent Sentry errors, and list slow queries in my Neon databases""List Sentry errors from last 24 hours, find related Jira tickets, and check error logs in Storage Connections""Show slow database queries in Neon and find related Jira tickets and Sentry errors for performance issues"Value: Faster incident response with context from ticketing, error monitoring, database performance monitoring, and documentation storage.
Meeting Intelligence & Product Development
Connect Fireflies and Notion for meeting transcripts and product documentation alongside project files in Storage Connections.
Example queries:
"Show Fireflies meeting notes about the checkout feature, find related Notion docs, and read checkout specs from S3""Search Fireflies transcripts for customer feedback discussions and check related product requirements in Notion""Find decisions made in last week's Fireflies meetings and update our product roadmap in Notion"Value: Capture meeting context, decisions, and action items alongside product documentation and project files.
Project Management & Planning
Connect Atlassian Jira and Notion for issue tracking and project documentation alongside planning files in Storage Connections.
Example queries:
"Show open Jira sprint tasks, check project timeline in Notion, and read sprint planning docs from S3""Find completed Jira epics, update project status in Notion, and archive related documents to Storage Connections""List high-priority Jira issues and check if they're documented in our Notion project wiki"Value: Unified project tracking with issues, documentation, and planning artifacts.
Error Monitoring & Resolution
Connect Sentry and Neon for error tracking and database management alongside troubleshooting guides in Storage Connections.
Example queries:
"Show recent Sentry errors, check my Neon projects for database configuration issues, and read troubleshooting guides from S3""Find Sentry performance issues, list slow queries in Neon databases, and read optimization docs from Storage Connections""Analyze Sentry error patterns and check Neon database branch configurations and compute endpoints"Value: Complete error context with application monitoring, database infrastructure management, and troubleshooting documentation.
