# Connector

A connector: one endpoint, described once (its URL, request and response, and the kind of credential it needs). Agents never call a connector directly: a tool points at it. Each change adds a new version, and a tool keeps calling the exact version it was built against.

**Kind:** one of several shapes, used in responses.

## Shapes

The `$type` field says which shape it is, and comes first.

| `$type` | Shape |
|---|---|
| `"mcp"` | [`McpConnector`](https://docs.maitento.com/reference/types/mcp-connector.md) |
| `"openapi"` | [`OpenApiConnector`](https://docs.maitento.com/reference/types/open-api-connector.md) |

## Example

```json
{
  "$type": "mcp",
  "versions": [
    {}
  ],
  "name": "...",
  "namespaceId": "3f2b8c1e-5d4a-4e6b-9c7d-2a1b0c9d8e7f",
  "tenantId": "3f2b8c1e-5d4a-4e6b-9c7d-2a1b0c9d8e7f",
  "id": "3f2b8c1e-5d4a-4e6b-9c7d-2a1b0c9d8e7f",
  "dateCreated": "2026-10-26T12:00:00.0000000Z",
  "dateUpdated": "2026-10-26T12:00:00.0000000Z"
}
```
