How Lovable connected its own app to external tech stacks: from MCP to nearly 100 connectors
Lovable shared a retrospective on how it connected its platform app to third-party services: first it supported MCP as a stopgap for pulling context into chats, then it built app connectors of its own, using a Connector Gateway to proxy requests between published apps and third-party APIs. The gateway holds credentials and refresh logic, so deployed apps never touch the keys.
Why it matters: Lovable’s retrospective on turning connectors into reusable infrastructure is worth a look for teams doing third-party integrations and credential management.
