Connect Conversion Tools in Corsair
Add your Conversion Tools API key once in Corsair. Corsair stores the credential encrypted and makes the Conversion Tools API calls for your agent, so it never goes into a prompt or a config file. Connect Conversion Tools
If your link lets the agent add apps, you can skip this: it gives you a sign-in link the first time it needs Conversion Tools. On a ChatGPT personal plan, connect Conversion Tools here first.

Sign in and choose what needs your approval
Your client opens Corsair to sign in. Pick a link: the apps your agent can use and a mode that decides what it may do without asking. In the default Cautious mode, Conversion Tools's read and write operations run right away and its 2 destructive operations wait for your approval. Strict mode asks before every write and refuses destructive operations, and Read mode allows reads only.
FAQ
Install corsair and @corsair-dev/conversiontools, add the Conversion Tools plugin, and connect with an API key. Then call methods like corsair.conversiontools.api.account.getConfig() from your app. Corsair keeps each tenant isolated.
Yes. Conversion Tools requires an API key from your Conversion Tools account or developer dashboard. Create credentials with access that matches what you automate, then paste them into Corsair or connect through managed auth in Hub.
Yes. One Corsair client can hit Conversion Tools, GitHub, Notion, Stripe, and the rest. Trigger Conversion Tools from a webhook, push updates to Slack, or chain actions across plugins. Same tenant context across integrations, plain TypeScript.
Teams use Corsair for create and manage Conversion Tools file-conversion tasks, uploads, binary downloads, converter discovery, task status, and retention through its REST API. Common builds include sync jobs, admin tooling, and agents that call Conversion Tools APIs from your backend.
The SDK is open source. Self-host and you pay Corsair nothing for the integration layer. Hub bills for hosted auth and execution, not per Conversion Tools API call. Hub has a generous free tier. For hobby projects you can probably run the whole thing on free. Paid plans start to matter with more tenants or heavier traffic.
We maintain @corsair-dev/conversiontools in the open repo. When Conversion Tools ships API changes, upgrade the package. Your call sites stay typed. You should not need to rewrite the integration layer each time.
No. Corsair does not read your Conversion Tools data or hold individual access credentials. Credentials stay in your database. API calls run on your instance. We do not store Conversion Tools data on your behalf.
Yes. Add https://mcp.corsair.dev/mcp as a custom connector or MCP server in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Codex or any client that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in, then sign in to Corsair. On ChatGPT personal plans, custom servers currently get read tools only.
Yes. Put Conversion Tools on a link in Strict mode and every write waits for your approval, while destructive actions are refused. The default Cautious mode asks only before the 2 destructive Conversion Tools operations. You can change a link's mode at hub.corsair.dev/me.
