Add External Tools to Super Magic with Connectors (Super MCP)

Updated by Jake Gipson

Looking for the other direction? This guide is about bringing external tools into Super Magic. To connect Claude, Cursor, or your own agent to Thread's tools, see the Thread MCP Server: Developer Guide.

Connectors — also called Super MCP — let Super Magic use tools from products your team already works in, so a technician can create a Linear issue, write a Notion runbook, or trigger a Zapier automation right from the ticket conversation.

Available connectors

Linear (issues, projects, and cycles), Notion (read/write pages, databases, and docs), and Zapier (reach any tool through your configured Zaps). Liongard (environments, systems, metrics, alerts, detections, timelines, reports) , NinjaOne see Connect NinjaOne to Super Magic.

How connectors differ from integrations

  • Integrations (IT Glue, Hudu, TimeZest, Liongard) are connected once for the whole workspace with company credentials.
    Lionguard MCP Connector is not yet available through Thread MCP**
  • Connectors are personal: an admin makes them available, then each member signs in with their own account. A connector acts as you — your Linear account, your Notion access.

NinjaOne is the one capability that's both — see Connect NinjaOne to Super Magic.

For admins: enable connectors for your workspace

  1. Open Super Magic settings → Connectors.
  2. Turn on the toggle for each connector you want members to be able to use.

That's it — but note: enabling a connector doesn't connect anyone. It just makes the connector show up on members' Connectors page so they can sign in themselves.

For members: connect your accounts

  1. Open the Connectors page in your Inbox (from your profile menu).
  2. You'll see every connector your admin has enabled. Click Connect on one.
  3. Sign in to that product and approve the access request.
  4. Back on the page, the connector shows Signed in as your account, and the button changes to Disconnect.

Each connection is tied to your account only — your teammates connect their own. Disconnect anytime; you'll just need to sign in again to reuse it.

Using connector tools in chat

Once connected, the connector's tools simply join your Super Magic toolset — ask naturally:

"Create a Linear issue for this bug and link the ticket"

"Find the Notion runbook for client onboarding"

"Trigger the new-client Zap for Acme"

And with your NinjaOne account connected (see Connect NinjaOne to Super Magic):

"Is John's laptop online? Any alerts on it?"

"Show me recent activity for DESKTOP-7842"

"Restart the print spooler on the front-desk PC"

Anything that changes something in the connected product — including device actions like a reboot — goes through the same Confirm action card as every other Super Magic write.

Troubleshooting
  • Connector not on your Connectors page? Your admin hasn't enabled it (or your workspace isn't in the release yet).
  • Enabled but tools not working? You're probably not connected — check the Connectors page for Signed in as. If it shows connected but fails, disconnect and reconnect (your sign-in may have been revoked on the other product's side).
  • Anything else — Super Magic Admin Guide → Troubleshooting.
