# Another app

Connect any app that can add an MCP server, then ask it to build, run and check your workflows.

## You need

- **An app that can add a remote MCP server**: It may call it a remote or HTTP server.

## Connect Another app

*Cloud and Self-hosted only:*

1. In GoRunner, open **MCP** in the sidebar. If an app is already connected, press **Connect an AI app**. Choose **Another app**; if it isn’t shown, press **All 13 apps**.

   ![The Connect an AI app panel with Another app chosen. The ringed key is the one to press.](https://docs.gorunner.io/img/ai-apps/ai-another-app-light.jpg)

2. Press **Copy** next to **MCP server address**. Paste the address where your app adds an MCP server. It may say remote or HTTP.

3. Sign in to GoRunner when it asks. If it can’t, use an API token.

4. If Another app signs in, on **Allow “Another app” to use GoRunner?**, choose the workspace and what it may do, then press **Allow access**.

*Embed only:*

[Since v2026.10.23](https://docs.gorunner.io/changelog/v2026.10.23)

1. In the product you use, open **MCP**, press **Connect an AI app** and choose **Another app**. Press **Copy** next to the address.
2. Paste the address where your app adds an MCP server. It may say remote or HTTP.
3. Sign in with the account you use here when it asks. If it can’t, use an API token.
4. If Another app signs in, choose what it may do, then press **Allow access**.

You should see **Connected** in the panel once Another app signs in and makes its first request. With a token, the token’s line says **Connected** instead.

It stays connected for up to 180 days, or until you disconnect it.

*Embed only:*

Without sign-in for AI apps, the panel shows Another app with a token instead: make or paste one, and copy the header it fills in. If the product lets apps run your workflows but not build them, the address ends in `/tools`. Another app can then only call your published workflows. See [Turn your workflows into tools](https://docs.gorunner.io/mcp/workflows-as-tools).

**Can I use an API token instead?**

Yes, for an app that can’t sign in. In the panel, press **Use an API token instead**. [Connect with an API token](https://docs.gorunner.io/mcp/api-token) shows each step.

**How do I disconnect Another app?**

*Cloud and Self-hosted only:*

On the **MCP** page, under **Connected apps**, press **Disconnect** next to the app. Revoke a token in **Settings › Workspace › API tokens**.

*Embed only:*

On the product’s **MCP** page, press **Disconnect** next to the app.

It stops on its next request. Remove it in Another app too.

## What you can ask

*Cloud and Self-hosted only:* 13 tools: it reads, drafts and runs in the workspaces you choose. It publishes only if you allow it. *Embed only:* What it can do depends on what the product allows: building, or only your published workflows. If Another app lists the server’s commands, try one:

- Build a workflow (when it may write drafts)
- Diagnose a failed run
- Explain a workflow

It can also call your own published workflows.

## For developers

AI apps connect through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Another app adds the server `https://api.gorunner.io/mcp/build`. It signs in with [OAuth](https://docs.gorunner.io/mcp/oauth) where it can, and otherwise uses an API token. Self-hosted: your installation’s address, ending in `/mcp/build`.

With a token, an app with a JSON settings file usually takes this:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gorunner": {
      "url": "https://api.gorunner.io/mcp/build/w/<workspace ID>",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

Some apps call the key `servers`, and some need `"type": "http"`. [Connect with an API token](https://docs.gorunner.io/mcp/api-token#add-it-to-your-app) shows where each listed app takes it.
