Integration Landscape
End-to-end view of the integration architecture in meinGPT
This page explains the architecture model. If you simply want to connect a service, start here: Integrations Home.
The Full Picture
In meinGPT, every integration type is reduced to one shared runtime model:
LLM + tool calls as the central integration fabric.
This allows very different systems to be operated, secured, and scaled in a consistent way.
Start with 'Your options' if you just want to pick the right integration path.
Users & Teams
Where you work
Assistants
Workflows
Custom Apps
CORE
meinGPT Runtime (automatic routing)
Chooses the right connector/data source for each request and enforces policies.
Connected systems
Connectors
Databases
Data Pools
No-Code
Custom MCP
External Systems
Applies everywhere
Permissions
Identity (JWT)
Connections
Permissions, identity, and network rules apply to every integration type.
In 30 Seconds: What This Means for You
- You connect systems through one integration model, not separately per assistant.
- Your assistant selects the right tool or data source per task.
- Security, permissions, and network access apply consistently across all integration types.
Security and Access Model (Cross-cutting)
These layers apply across all integration types:
- Permissions and assistant sharing (users, teams, groups)
- Identity forwarding (JWT) for secure context propagation
- Cloud/on-prem connections (IP allowlisting, Enterprise Connection Network, VPN)
Typical User Paths
| I want to... | Start here |
|---|---|
| Connect Microsoft 365, Google, Jira, or Confluence | Connectors Overview |
| Make documents/files searchable as knowledge | Data Pools (RAG) |
| Query databases | Databases Overview |
| Connect internal APIs/services | Custom MCP |
| Reach private systems in company networks | Connections (Cloud/On-Prem) |
When to Use Which Building Block
| Building Block | Use Case |
|---|---|
| Connectors | Execute actions in external tools (Slack, Jira, etc.) |
| Databases | Query structured data precisely (SQL, NoSQL) |
| Data Pools (RAG) | Retrieve and ground on document knowledge |
| No-Code | Integrate existing process automations (Make, Zapier) |
| Custom MCP | Connect customer-specific protocols/backends |
| Custom AI Apps | Provide guided custom UIs for specific workflows |
Cloud Default vs. On-Prem Advanced
- Default: For most teams, setup in the meinGPT UI is sufficient.
- Advanced: On-prem/Data Vault is for teams needing own runtime and network control.
