# Import connectors & models

> Bring models and connectors into a Space's pools so its agents can use them.

A [Space](/concepts/spaces) draws on two pools: the **models** it can run against and
the **connectors** whose tools its agents can call. Importing adds a reference to
something you've already set up — your keys and credentials stay where they are.

## Models

Import any model you've activated in the [Model Master](/masters/model). The Space
records a reference (in `models.json`) to the model; the provider key stays in your
keychain and is never copied into the Space.

<Note>
  The model list is empty until you've added a provider and activated at least one
  model. See [Bring your own key](/providers/byok).
</Note>

## Connectors

Add any connector from your connector list. The Space records it in `connectors.json`
as **added but not authorized** — importing brings the connector in, it doesn't sign
you in.

You authorize it **in the Space**, and that Space keeps its own tokens in your keychain.
So importing the same connector into two Spaces gives you two independent connections,
which can point at two different accounts. See
[Connect a remote MCP server](/connectors/remote-mcp-oauth) for the full flow.

Built-in tools are always available without importing anything.

## When to import

You can import during the [create-a-space](/spaces/create-a-space) wizard or any time
afterward from the Space's model and connector pools. It's **skippable** — add slots
as your agents need them.
