Connect for the next task
Do not configure everything up front. Add an AI or DataForSEO account to control provider cost and evidence depth; GitHub or Cloudflare when delivering source or production into your account; GSC/GA4 and other analytics after a real site exists; Stitch when you want the supported Google design flow.
Scope and verification
Each connection explains credential ownership, workspace or project scope, minimum permissions, and the capability it unlocks. Replacement credentials are tested before overwriting the last known good value. Secrets are encrypted at rest and the UI never reads them back in plaintext.
Connection families
Current surfaces cover AI providers, DataForSEO and optional market/authority sources, GitHub, Cloudflare, Google Stitch, Google Search Console, GA4, Plausible, Bing Webmaster, Ahrefs, and read-only Google Ads. Generated-site merchant payment credentials are configured per project, separate from Shipsite billing.
