nforum lets users plug their own tools into Mike
End users can now connect Mike to outside services themselves - no engineer required - and sign in to them securely.
nforum has added what the fork calls "Connectors": a settings screen where each user can hook Mike up to external tools and data sources on their own, then see clearly which tool produced which answer. It is built on the Model Context Protocol, an emerging standard for letting AI assistants talk to outside systems in a uniform way.
The newest piece is sign-in. Instead of pasting in API keys by hand, users can pick a service, click through a standard "sign in" pop-up, and let Mike handle the connection and token refresh behind the scenes - with status badges showing whether a connector is signed in or needs attention. One caveat the team flags openly: stored credentials currently sit unencrypted, protected only by per-user access rules, so anyone weighing a production deployment should look closely before pulling.
