HTTP API connector An HTTP API described by an OpenAPI spec, not an MCP server. Calls go through xpander's function endpoint `https://functions.xpander.ai/alpha_vantage`, which fronts the Alpha Vantage API, and carry a credential xpander supplies, so there is nothing to paste. ## What the skill can do API connector: 1 actions, as they appear in the skill panel. 0 of them create, change or delete something in Alpha Vantage; mark those under **These actions need approval** when you add the skill to an agent. * **Crypto forex service** (1): Fetch Stock Market Data ## Connect Alpha Vantage In Xpander Chat, open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and search for **Alpha Vantage**. The connect dialog asks for a connection name and whether the connection is for the **Organization** (one shared account) or **Personal** (your own account, so the agent acts with your permissions where systems allow). On an agent other people use, a personal connection runs their requests as you unless the binding requires each person's own sign-in; see [whose credential a shared agent uses](/use/agents/permissions#whose-credential-a-shared-agent-uses). Alpha Vantage connects with **Sign in with Alpha Vantage**: you authorize in the browser and xpander stores the OAuth token; the agent never sees it, and the token is attached at the moment a skill is called. Calls go to `https://functions.xpander.ai/alpha_vantage`. ## Give an agent the Alpha Vantage skill Once Alpha Vantage is connected, any agent you can edit may be given the skill: open the agent's settings, click **Add skill**, and choose **Alpha Vantage**. Enable only the action groups the agent needs, and mark the actions that should wait for a named person's sign-off under **These actions need approval**. Which skills exist for your organization, and who may add them, is decided by your admins; see [Skills](/use/skills). ## Related Resources * [Skills](/use/skills)
