Deploy open-connector
An open-source auth gateway that connects AI agents to 1,500+ SaaS providers.
An open-source auth gateway that connects AI agents to 1,500+ SaaS providers.
open-connector by OOMOL handles OAuth and API keys for SaaS providers so AI agents can act on them through one SDK, CLI, or MCP endpoint, with a web console to manage connections. The template turns on every protection at deploy time: you choose the admin token, and the encryption key and runtime token are generated for you.

Security
Without tokens, open-connector accepts every request. This template requires an admin token and generates a runtime token, so the console, admin API, runtime API, and MCP endpoint all require authentication from the first start.
What gets created
- The open-connector server and web console, built from the repository's docker/Dockerfile
- A public HTTPS URL on port 3000, also set as its OAuth origin
- A generated encryption key for stored credentials and a generated runtime token that switches on API authentication
Before you deploy
- An admin token you choose on the deploy form. Keep it: it signs you in to the console
- OAuth app credentials or API keys for the providers you want to connect
- Runs on the Free plan
How to deploy
- Press Deploy. Sign in or create a NEXUS AI account and you return to the same page.
- Choose a name for your URL, review the settings, and press Deploy again.
- Wait for the build, then open your URL when the status is Running.
After it deploys
- Open your URL and enter your admin token to reach the web console
- Connect the SaaS providers you need
- Create a runtime token in the console for each agent, and use it with the SDK, CLI, or MCP endpoint
Your data
Connections and credentials live in a database inside the container, encrypted with the generated key. Stopping and starting keeps them; rebuilding the deployment starts fresh.
open-connector is an independent open-source project. NEXUS AI is not affiliated with it, and the name belongs to its owners.
