  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete authentication" icon="key">
    Complete the authentication steps for the application you're connecting to.

    The connection will appear in the "My Connections" tab making its tools available to your agents.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Custom Connections

These can be connected to Duvo in the "Available Connections" tab:

  </Step>

  <Step title="Name" icon="tag">
    **Name**: Choose a descriptive name that identifies what system the connection is supporting.
  </Step>

  <Step title="MCP URL" icon="link">
    **MCP URL**: Enter the web address where your MCP server is hosted (e.g., `https://mcp.yourcompany.com/mcp`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Authorization" icon="lock">
    **Authorization**: Choose how Duvo should authenticate:

    * None: No authentication required
    * API Key: Provide an API key for authentication
    * OAuth: Use OAuth flow for authentication. Duvo automatically detects whether the MCP server supports **dynamic client registration (DCR)**. If it does, no Client ID or Secret is needed — the connection is handled automatically. If the server does not support DCR, or if you prefer to use your own pre-registered OAuth app, you can provide a Client ID and Client Secret in the **Advanced settings** section.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save" icon="save">
    Click "Save".

    Once configured, the custom connection will appear in your "My Connections" tab, making its tools available to your agents.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Editing Connection Credentials

To update a connection's credentials, open the connection from your "My Connections" tab and click **Edit**.

Sensitive fields such as API keys, passwords, and service account credentials are write-only. When you open an existing connection to edit it, these fields will appear empty — the stored credentials are not displayed for security reasons. Leave a field empty to keep the existing value, or enter a new value to replace it.
