  }
}

Used for: Figma, Notion, Canva, Pipedream-hosted tools

Pattern 2: Self-hosted stdio MCP

{
  "tool-name": {
    "type": "stdio",
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y", "@package/mcp-server"],
    "env": {
      "API_KEY": "${API_KEY}"
    }
  }
}

Used for: Google Workspace, GitHub, Plausible

Pattern 3: Zapier MCP (third-party hosted)

{
  "tool-name": {
    "type": "http",
    "url": "https://actions.zapier.com/mcp/tool-name/v1"
  }
}

Decision Log

Decision	Rationale
Google Workspace over MS365	FashionUnited uses Google Workspace organization-wide
Google Chat over Slack	Google Chat is part of Google Workspace, consolidating on one platform
Vtiger over HubSpot/Salesforce	Existing CRM in use at FashionUnited
Mailchimp over Klaviyo	FashionUnited's email marketing platform
Plausible over Amplitude	Privacy-focused analytics, already in use
Social Champ (new)	Social media scheduling for fashion content
GitHub over Atlassian	Project tracking and documentation

Next Steps

For each plugin refactor task:

Replace ms365 with appropriate Google Workspace configuration
Replace hubspot/close with vtiger
Replace amplitude with plausible
Replace atlassian with github
Replace klaviyo with mailchimp
Add social-champ where social media scheduling is needed
Update CONNECTORS.md with FashionUnited-specific examples
Keep tools with hosted MCP endpoints (Figma, Notion)
