Tools overview

Tools are how your AI Agent gets things done. Without tools, an AI Agent can only talk; with tools, it can search the web, query your CRM, scrape a page, call your API, or run another AI Agent as a sub-task.

Two ways to give your AI Agent tools

SourceWhat it isWhen to use it
Native toolsCubeo-built tools listed below — Web Browser, HubSpot, LinkedIn, custom API, webhooks, sub-agents, and more.Most use cases. Pre-tested and tightly integrated.
MCP serversAny server that speaks the Model Context Protocol — Tavily, Context7, your own internal MCP server.When the tool you need isn't in the native list, or it lives behind your own walls.

Connect a tool once at the team level and every AI Agent in your team can use it from their Tools tab.

The Integrations page

Team → Integrations is the single place to manage every external connection your AI Agents use — both native accounts (HubSpot, Tavily, LinkedIn) and MCP servers. See Integrations.

Bring your own with MCP

The Model Context Protocol turns any compatible third-party server into tools your AI Agents can use. Connect a public server (e.g. Tavily, Context7), an enterprise one, or your own — Cubeo handles authentication, the catalog, and runtime calls. See Connect an MCP server for the 1-minute walkthrough.

Human approval

Any tool can be configured to require your approval before it runs. The AI Agent prepares the call and waits for your green light. See Human-in-the-Loop.
