ZachLaik wants to let firms bolt their own tools onto Mike
A proposal to make Mike's chat assistant extensible by users, with no engineering required on the fork itself.
ZachLaik built a way for users to connect their own outside services to Mike's assistant through a new Connectors tab in settings. The idea leans on the Model Context Protocol, an emerging standard for wiring AI assistants into external tools and data. Once a connector is switched on, whatever tools it offers show up to the assistant automatically, and when the assistant calls one, the result renders right in the chat with the server, the tool, and the raw output visible on expand.
Two ways to connect a service were built:
- Address plus token: paste a server's web address and, if needed, an access token. Covers self-hosted services and anything that hands out keys.
- One-click sign-in: for services that support it, a single popup login handles authorisation and quietly renews access, with nothing to paste or track.
A curated directory of trusted connectors and stronger encryption of stored secrets were left for later. Worth noting: the work was reviewed and then closed without being merged.
