# App Connectors

> Build connections to third-party services like Linear or Salesforce directly into your published Hercules app. Scoped to the app level. Coming soon.

App Connectors let your app connect to third-party services like Linear, Salesforce, and more. Your app itself can read and write data in those services, so you can build integrations directly into the product you ship. Connectors are scoped to the app level.

<Note>
  **Coming soon.** App Connectors are not available yet. To give the Hercules Agent outside tools
  while you build, see [Chat Connectors](/ai/chat-connectors).

### How are App Connectors different from Chat Connectors and Hercules MCP?

These three features are easy to confuse. Here is the difference:

| Feature                                | What it does                                                               | Who uses it     | Status      |
| -------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------- |
| [Chat Connectors](/ai/chat-connectors) | Give the Hercules Agent outside tools (Linear, Slack...) while you build   | You, personally | Available   |
| [Hercules MCP](/hercules-mcp)          | Use Hercules from other AI assistants (ChatGPT, Claude...)                 | You, personally | Available   |
| **App Connectors** (this page)         | Let your published app connect to outside services (Linear, Salesforce...) | Your app        | Coming soon |

The key difference from Chat Connectors: Chat Connectors give the Hercules Agent tools while **you** build. App Connectors give **your app** the ability to talk to outside services after you publish it.

### What are App Connectors?

App Connectors are integrations you build into your published app. Instead of the Hercules Agent talking to a service like Linear during development, your app talks to it at runtime.

For example, you could let your app read and create Linear issues, or sync records to Salesforce, on behalf of your users. The connection is configured for the app, not for your personal account.

### What will setup look like?

Details will be added when App Connectors launch. You will configure connectors from the **Connectors** tab in the App Builder under **App Connectors**.
