What Are Integrations?

Integrations are pre-built MCP servers that provide ready-to-use tools for various services like GitHub, Slack, Google Calendar, Exa, and more.

Licensing

Metorial is licensed under the FSL (Functional Source License). This means:
  • Source available: You can view and audit the code
  • Free for evaluation and development
  • Commercial use requires a license for production deployments

Deployment Options

Cloud SaaS

Use Metorial’s hosted cloud service at app.metorial.com:
  • No infrastructure to manage
  • Automatic updates and scaling
  • Quick setup

Enterprise On-Premises

For enterprises requiring on-premises deployment:
  • Deploy on AWS, GCP, or other cloud providers
  • Uses HashiStack (Nomad, Vault, Consul) for orchestration
  • Full control over infrastructure and data
  • Contact us for enterprise licensing

Authentication Types

API Key Integrations

Simpler setup - just provide your API credentials. Examples: Exa, Tavily Setup:
  1. Get API key from the service
  2. Create deployment in Metorial
  3. Paste API key in configuration

OAuth Integrations

User authorization required - each user authorizes access. Examples: Slack, GitHub, Google Calendar Common patterns:
  • One-time authorization: User authorizes once, you store and reuse the session
  • Enterprise BYO: Bring your own OAuth app credentials
  • OAuth export/import: Reduce friction by importing existing tokens
See OAuth Integrations for detailed patterns.

Choosing Integrations

Single-user applications: API key integrations work well. Multi-user applications: Use OAuth integrations for user-specific access. Enterprise: Consider BYO OAuth apps with dynamic server deployments.
