<!-- Source: https://docs.redpanda.com/agentic-data-plane/connect.md -->

Bring your agents, tools, and data into the Agentic Data Plane. Build agents, connect MCP servers, set up authentication, and integrate with your existing stack.

-   [Connect Tools with MCP Servers](mcp-servers/)

    Learn how MCP servers expose tools and data to agents, then plug in a managed type or build, register, and test your own.

-   [Set Up Authentication](authentication/)

    Configure OAuth providers, user-delegated OAuth, and client connections so agents and tools authenticate securely.

-   [Integrate with Your Stack](integrations/)

    Choose an integration pattern and connect the Agentic Data Plane to your existing stack, Redpanda pipelines, and developer tools.
