# Actions & MCP

> Extend the capabilities of Gorbit Agents

## Overview

**Actions** give Agents the ability to interact with external systems.

Gorbit comes with 4 built-in Actions and allows users to configure additional ones via
[OpenAPI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAPI_Specification)
and [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) (MCP).

The built-in Actions include:

| Name             | Description                                                             | Requires Config | Provider Choices                          |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| Internal Search  | Search through your organization's indexed documents and knowledge base | Yes             | Built-in with swappable components        |
| Web Search       | Search the internet for real-time information and current events        | Yes             | Google, Serper, Exa, Firecrawl (optional) |
| Code Interpreter | Execute Python code, analyze data, and generate visualizations          | No              | Built-in                                  |

## Custom Actions

Gorbit offers flexible options for configuring both custom Actions and their associated authentication.

Admins can choose to:

* Use a single shared authentication, giving all users the same level of access to Actions.
* Require each user to complete their own authentication flow, so Actions respect individual user permissions.

Gorbit supports both token-based authentication and OAuth.

In the Chat input bar, Actions are grouped by the MCP server or OpenAPI schema they are registered with.
Users have the flexibility to turn on/off the Actions that the Agent/LLM has access to on the fly.
