# Introducing MCP connectors: Give Elle access to the tools you use

Aha! software is your product management system: the place where strategy, customer feedback, and roadmap plans come together. But important context often lives in other tools, including issues in Jira and code in GitHub. With our new Model Context Protocol (MCP) connectors, Elle, our [AI assistant](/suite/ai-overview), can now bring this context directly into your product work.

Choose from a growing set of MCP connectors to give Elle secure access to the external systems your team depends on.

## Expand what Elle can access

You already use Elle to help you draft strategy, write feature specs, analyze customer feedback, build [prototypes](/roadmaps/prototypes), and much more. Our powerful AI assistant is optimized for product management — combining the full context of your strategic plans with leading AI models and [reusable skills](/blog/introducing-skills-for-elle-in-aha-software).

Our new MCP connectors let Elle draw on information in other tools your team uses. This gives Elle a more complete picture of what is happening across the product development lifecycle to produce even better results.

Here are some examples of what you can do with connectors:

**Ask GitHub how a feature works** in the source code today, then write the spec for what comes next.**Compare open issues in Linear** with your roadmap dates to find what is at risk.**Check what is blocked in Jira**, then adjust your release before the next review.

Explore the [full list of nearly 20 common MCP connectors here](https://support.aha.io/aha-software/elle-ai-assistant/mcp-connectors-for-elle~7675891208055173630). The Zapier and Pipedream connectors unlock access to thousands of additional tools. You will love the difference it makes when Elle can reach all the information needed to help you move product work forward.

Connectors are available wherever you use Elle, on every [Aha! software plan](/pricing). Account administrators can enable connectors and set up what they are allowed to do.

See how connectors work:

The most useful connector workflows will probably start with a question you regularly have to leave Aha! software to answer. Now, you can give Elle access to the source and ask it to do something with what it finds.
