Plugins

Plugins give bots more tools. Each one is an MCP server: InkBot connects to it, lists its tools, and offers them to the bots you choose. Open Settings → Plugins and choose Add plugin.

Choosing tools and bots

• Each plugin lists its tools. Switch off any you don't want bots to use. Read-only tools are marked.
• A bot uses every connected plugin unless you narrow it down under Plugins in its editor.
• Bots are told when their plugins changed since their last reply.

Plugins on a server

Plugins are set up per host: pick the server under Plugins. Sign-in plugins open the sign-in on your PC; the app then hands it to the server, which keeps it encrypted and refreshes it itself. Custom plugins that run a command run on the server, so install what they need there (Node.js for npx, uv for uvx).

Secrets

Keys, tokens and environment variables are stored encrypted and never sent back to the app once saved. When you edit a custom plugin, leaving them empty keeps the saved ones. Exports never include them.
