Other Connectors: Box, PayPal, Hugging Face, Asana, and Databricks

Updated November 2, 2026 — Le Chat is now Vibe. As of May 28, 2026, Le Chat has been rebranded as Vibe (still at chat.mistral.ai): a single agent for work and code, carrying over your conversations, settings, and subscriptions. The legacy Le Chat experience remains available in Chat mode; in Work mode, agents have become skills (invoked with
@), memories serve as the knowledge base, and deep search is now the Deep Research skill. Plans are now called Mistral Free, Pro, Team, and Enterprise. This lesson uses the name Vibe; some menus described here may have changed names or locations.
A Growing Ecosystem of Connectors
GitHub, Notion, and Atlassian cover most needs for a technical team, but the Vibe connector library goes far beyond. It extends to file management, payments, the AI ecosystem, project management, and data analytics. This lesson walks through complementary connectors and what each actually brings to your daily workflow.
| Connector | Primary Function | Use Case | Authentication |
|---|---|---|---|
| Box | Cloud file management | Search, read, and organize enterprise documents | OAuth 2.0 |
| PayPal | Payment lookup | Verify transactions, track received payments | OAuth 2.0 |
| Hugging Face | Access to the AI ecosystem | Explore models, launch Spaces, use datasets | Token |
| Asana | Project management | Track tasks, create projects, assign work | OAuth 2.0 |
| Databricks | Data analytics and ML | Run SQL queries, inspect data pipelines | Token |
| Gmail | Email messaging | Read, search, and manage emails | OAuth 2.0 |
| Stripe | Payments and billing | View payments, manage subscriptions, analyze revenue | Token |
Box: Document Management
Box is a cloud storage platform widely used in large enterprises. The MCP connector lets you search for files and folders by name or content, read stored documents, and organize them—meaning you can move, rename, or sort them. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0, and once connected, Vibe accesses files strictly according to your Box permissions.
The most common use case is searching through a directory tree that has become too deep to navigate manually. An even more powerful use case is having Vibe extract key information from a PDF report stored in Box without downloading or reading the entire file.
PayPal and Stripe: Financial Tracking
These two connectors give you a view of your financial activity directly from the conversation. PayPal is primarily for checking payment status and reviewing recent transaction history. Stripe goes a bit further, offering payment tracking, subscription management, and revenue metric analysis.
They are used essentially in read-only mode, which mechanically limits risk: you consult data, you don’t trigger money movements. A typical question fits on one line:
“What payments received via Stripe this week were greater than 100 euros?”
Hugging Face: AI at Your Fingertips
For machine learning practitioners, this connector opens access to the richest ecosystem in the AI community. You can explore models by filtering by task—classification, text generation—interact with applications hosted on Spaces (some of which are MCP servers themselves), and browse datasets available for training.
Keep that last point in mind, as it will come up again: Hugging Face Spaces is one of the recommended options for hosting your own MCP servers, and Spaces without GPUs are free.
Asana and Databricks
Asana is deeply embedded in marketing, product, and operations teams, often where Jira is not. The connector lists tasks within a project or workspace, creates new tasks with descriptions, assignments, and due dates, updates the status of existing tasks, and inspects projects and their sections.
Databricks targets data teams. It runs SQL queries on your tables, checks pipeline results, and verifies the status of running jobs—letting you grab a number mid-conversation without switching tools. Its true power emerges when paired with Asana, a combination we will detail in the lessons on automated workflows.
Choosing the Right Connector
The right mix depends more on your role than on the available catalog. A development team will rely on GitHub, Jira or Linear, and Notion or Confluence. A product team will combine Asana or Jira with Notion and Stripe or PayPal. A data team will pair Databricks with GitHub and Notion. On the marketing side, Asana, Notion, and Box cover most needs, while a freelancer will generally get by with GitHub, Notion, and Stripe.
In all cases, the rule stated earlier still applies: it is better to activate 2 or 3 relevant connectors per conversation than to open the entire catalog. Take a moment to define your own triplet—this is what you will keep active by default, adding others only on demand.
An Ever-Evolving Library
The Vibe MCP connector catalog expands regularly, with new partners and integrations arriving every few months. The Connectors tab remains the up-to-date source: check it occasionally to spot the latest additions rather than relying on a static list.
And if the tool you need isn’t there yet, nothing is blocked: you can create a custom connector, the subject to which the next section of this course is entirely devoted.
Key Takeaways
- Vibe offers connectors for file management (Box), payments (PayPal, Stripe), AI (Hugging Face), project management (Asana), and data analytics (Databricks)
- Each connector uses its own authentication method (OAuth 2.0 or token)
- Activate only 2–3 relevant connectors per conversation to optimize performance
- The library is regularly enriched with new partners
- You can always create a custom connector if your tool is not yet supported
