Chief's public integrations let you check progress and propose work from an assistant, or share project activity with a Discord server. Work still executes through your local relay and agents.

## Choose a connection

| Integration | Use it for | Setup guide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Chief MCP server | Ask an assistant what is waiting, look up milestones and summaries, and propose work in selected projects. | [MCP connector setup](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/mcp) |
| Chief for Discord | Share ship logs, check status, collect milestone suggestions, and review proposals from a DM. | [Discord](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/discord) |

The [public integration directory](https://chiefisnext.com/integrations) lists the currently available surfaces. Each guide links to its public install page. Assistant client setup in the MCP guide follows the verified clients listed on that page.

## Prepare a project

Create a project with the [quickstart](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/quickstart), set a clear [goal](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/goals), and make sure you can approve and finish a small [milestone](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/milestones). A connector can query Chief without an online relay, but executing proposed work requires the relay and a ready agent.

The project owner can control **Allow connected apps** in project settings. When disabled, connected assistants, access tokens and chat integrations cannot access that project. Connecting an app still requires the appropriate account sign-in and project permissions; the setting does not grant access by itself.

## Scope and revoke access

Read the consent screen and select only the projects you want to share. For assistants, use **Settings → Connected apps** to inspect or revoke connections. The [MCP guide](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/mcp#manage-access) explains revocation. A Discord channel shares titles and status for the connected project; review the [Discord access model](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/discord#what-your-server-can-see) before connecting one.

If a project is missing or a connection fails, follow [connector troubleshooting](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/troubleshooting#connected-app-cannot-see-a-project). Use [manager tasks](https://chiefisnext.com/docs/manager-tasks) for decisions and reviews that still require your input.
