Sources

Connect external data like MCP servers, REST APIs, and local filesystems. Sources give your agent tools to access services like GitHub, Linear, or your Obsidian vault.

What are Sources?

Sources are external data connections that extend TorlyAI's capabilities. They allow the AI to interact with external services, access your local files, and use specialized tools during conversations.
