toolforest.io Documentation

Getting Started

Introduction

toolforest.io is a consumer-focused MCP (Model Context Protocol) aggregator that makes it simple to connect your AI assistants and LLMs to the apps and APIs you use every day.

Instead of configuring multiple MCP servers and managing different connections, toolforest.io provides a single, unified endpoint where you can mix and match the exact tools you need. Think of it as your personal toolkit forest—a curated collection of tools that grows with your needs.

Key Features

  • Single Endpoint - One MCP connection for all your tools
  • Mix & Match - Choose only the tools you need from a growing collection
  • Secure Authentication - Industry-standard OAuth integration with major platforms
  • Privacy First - Your data stays yours, no permanent storage
  • LLM Optimized - Built specifically for AI assistants like Claude, ChatGPT, and Le Chat

Quick Start

Get started with toolforest.io in just a few minutes:

1. Create an Account

Sign up at www.toolforest.io using your email account.

2. Login and Create an MCP Server Endpoint

Create an MCP server endpoint specific to your LLM client (e.g., Claude or ChatGPT).

3. Configure your toolkits.

Choose which toolkits you want to use and, where relevant, connect them to your external accounts (e.g., Google Sheets or Fitbit).

4. Connect Your LLM to toolforest.io

Add the toolforest.io MCP endpoint to your AI assistant's configuration and connect via OAuth 2.0. You can also connect your agent directly to toolforest.io via MCP with an API Key.

✓ You're Ready!
Your AI assistant can now access your connected tools through toolforest.io. Try asking it to read a spreadsheet or create a slide deck!

Core Concepts

MCP Overview

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol that standardizes how AI assistants connect to external tools and data sources. Think of it as a universal adapter that lets your LLM talk to different apps and services.

toolforest.io implements MCP to provide a seamless bridge between your AI assistant and the tools you use every day. When you connect to toolforest.io, your LLM gains access to all your authorized tools through a single, secure connection.

How It Works

  1. Your LLM connects to the toolforest.io MCP server
  2. You authorize access to specific services (Google, Microsoft, etc.)
  3. Your LLM discovers tools available through your connections
  4. You interact naturally - ask your LLM to perform tasks using your tools
  5. toolforest.io handles authentication, API calls, and data formatting

Authentication

toolforest.io uses industry-standard OAuth 2.0 authentication to connect to third-party services. This means:

  • You control exactly what permissions you grant
  • You can revoke access at any time
  • We never see your passwords
  • Tokens are encrypted and stored securely

Connecting Your Chatbot

📋 Prerequisites
Before you can connect your LLM, you will need to:
  • Log into your toolforest.io account
  • Configure at least one MCP server with at least one toolkit
  • Have a paid plan (ChatGPT and Claude free plans do not support MCP connectors at this time)

If you don't have a paid plan and would still like to try toolforest.io, you could try Le Chat instead.
