# Universal Data Connector

Universal Data Connector examples are coming soon.

This section will cover how Buzzy apps connect to external data sources through a reusable connector pattern. Until the dedicated docs are available, use the current extension options:

* [Buzzy Functions](/the-building-blocks/buzzy-functions-and-constants/buzzy-functions.md) for server-side API calls, transformations, and webhooks.
* [Buzzy REST API](/developing-and-extending-buzzy/buzzy-rest-api.md) when external systems need to read or update Buzzy app data.
* [Buzzy Custom MCP](/the-building-blocks/mcp/buzzy-custom-mcp.md) when an existing app should expose governed tools to MCP clients.
* [Builder MCP](/the-building-blocks/mcp/buzzy-builder-mcp.md) when an AI agent should change the app definition itself.

When Universal Data Connector examples are ready, include:

* source setup and authentication
* mapping external objects to Buzzy datatables and fields
* sync direction and conflict rules
* permissions and Private Data handling
* error handling and retry behavior
* testing and release guidance
