The AI clients (MCP) tab of Connectors lists each AI client that can use Rivul MCP, with a setup guide.

Files

Google Drive adds PDFs from your Drive to the Library. Google Docs imports a Doc as a new paper and saves a paper back as a Doc. One Google connection covers both; Rivul AI asks Google only for access to the files you pick. If both rows say Not available, the Google connection is not set up on this site.

Zotero imports your Zotero library and pushes Rivul AI references back. Click Connect on the Zotero row and enter your Zotero API key and user ID; the key is used for each request and never stored.

AI clients (MCP)

This tab lists the AI clients that can search through Rivul MCP: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Google Antigravity, Muse Code, and any client that supports remote MCP servers. Set up opens the setup guide for that client. Keys and authorized apps are managed in Rivul MCP.

AI provider

This tab shows which AI provider's API key is connected. Connect or change it in Settings → AI provider. Only one key is stored at a time.
