nforum lets users plug their own tools into Mike
A new "Connectors" feature lets end users wire third-party services straight into the chat agent from account settings - with proper sign-in flows, not just pasted API keys.
nforum has shipped what's probably the most ambitious user-facing addition any Mike fork has attempted: a Connectors panel where users register their own external tool servers and toggle them on per conversation. The chat agent then calls those tools mid-answer, with each invocation surfaced in the transcript as a tidy "Running [server] · [tool]" block with pass/fail badges and an expandable details view.
The security work is the giveaway that this is meant for real users, not a demo. Connectors can authenticate either via custom headers (e.g. an API key) or via a full sign-in popup flow built on the modern OAuth standard, complete with the anti-tampering protections you'd want when a browser popup is handing credentials back to the app. Stored secrets are scoped per-user at the database level; nforum flags per-secret encryption as the obvious next step.
