# Within MCP: Use Within in Slack and Email

Source: https://maito.app/integrations/within

Connect the Within MCP server to Maito with one sign-in, and your whole team can use it from Slack or email: “What steps does our invoice approval process go through today?”

Within maps how your organization's processes actually run. Connect the Within MCP server to Maito once, and everyone on your team can use Within from Slack, by email, or from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse. Nobody else has to sign in.

Where does the customer onboarding process slow down the most?

Maito uses Within to do the work and replies where you asked.

## How to connect Within

Open Connections in your workspace and choose Connect next to Within. You sign in to Within in a new tab, and that's the whole setup. Name the account and choose Workspace under who can use it. That's the only time anyone signs in: your whole team, shared chats and Loops can use Within from then on. Or skip ahead and ask for the work: Maito sends you a link if Within isn't connected yet.

## Questions

### What is the Within MCP server URL?

Within publishes it at https://api.within.ai/mcp, and it signs in with OAuth, so there's no key to copy.

### Can I use the Within MCP server from Slack?

Yes. Connect it to Maito once, then mention Maito in any Slack channel or send it a direct message. The same connection works by email and from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Grok or Muse.

### Does everyone on my team have to connect Within?

No. One person connects it once and chooses Workspace. Then everyone in the workspace, shared chats and Loops can use Within, without signing in themselves. Choose Only me instead to keep it to your own chats.

### Do I have to connect Within before I ask?

No. If a request needs Within and it isn't connected yet, your agent sends you a link. Connect it, and the work picks up where it stopped.

### Can I limit what Maito does in Within?

Yes. After you connect, turn off any Within tools you don't want Maito to use, such as the ones that change data. Tools Within adds later stay off until you turn them on.
