# AI integrations

> Connect AI agents to external data sources, APIs, and knowledge bases.

AI agents can connect to external systems and data sources to provide context-aware, informed responses. This page provides an overview of available integration options.

## Data source integrations

> [card] [Knowledge bases](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/docs/platform-deep-dive/integrations/knowledge-base-integration/knowledge-base-overview.md)
>
> Connect document repositories for RAG-powered responses

> [card] [MCP integration](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/docs/platform-deep-dive/integrations/mcp-integration/mcp-integration-overview.md)
>
> Use Model Context Protocol to connect external tools and data

## Workflow integrations

> [card] [Integration Designer](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/docs/platform-deep-dive/integrations/integration-designer.md)
>
> Build complex integration workflows with visual designer

> [card] [Custom Agent Node](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/docs/platform-deep-dive/integrations/custom-agent-node.md)
>
> Use AI agents within Integration Designer workflows

## API access

> [card] [REST APIs](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/docs/api/start-process/start-by-process-name.md)
>
> Programmatic access to processes and agents

> [card] [Kafka integration](https://docs.flowx.ai/6.x/setup-guides/flowx-engine-setup-guide/engine-setup.md#configuring-kafka)
>
> Event-driven integration patterns

## Integration patterns

| Pattern | Description | Use case |
| - | - | - |
| **Knowledge retrieval** | Agent can query knowledge bases as a tool while it answers | Context-aware chat, document Q\&A |
| **External API calls** | Agent calls external services via MCP | Real-time data, third-party services |
| **Workflow orchestration** | Agent triggers or is triggered by workflows | Automated processing pipelines |
| **Event-driven** | Agent responds to Kafka events | Real-time processing, notifications |
