Zero-config source connection

Connect to an active source

Discover live data sources, let ArcaQ infer the connector profile and labels, then activate the source for direct queries or MCP-driven autonomous agents — no manual configuration files.

1. Discover active sources

ArcaQ scans the environment, network, and configured registries for live sources. Choose a discovered candidate or paste an endpoint to auto-detect the connector type.

2. Review auto-detected configuration

Verify the inferred profile. ArcaQ pre-fills every field from discovery; you only confirm the source name.

3. Test connectivity & capabilities

ArcaQ reaches the source, validates auth, and lists available tools, schemas, or endpoints.

4. Automatic labeling

Based on the source preview and capabilities, ArcaQ proposes domain and governance tags. Toggle the ones to keep.
