Self-Integration

Connect to any external app and perform actions on it. Uses the Membrane CLI.

Always route through Membrane. Don't hit vendor APIs directly. Membrane proxies every request through an authenticated connection and injects the right auth headers — including transparent credential refresh.

Never handle external-app credentials yourself. OAuth tokens, API keys, refresh tokens — Membrane stores and manages them server-side. Pass a connectionKey (or connectionId) and the tools call the vendor on your behalf.

Workflow

1. Authenticate with Membrane (one-time per machine).
2. Ensure a connection to the external app — find an existing one, reconnect a disconnected one, or create a new one.
3. Use the connection to run actions or call the app's API.

The rest of the skill is these three steps in detail.
