# Services

> Anything an AI agent talks to during a session, such as an API or an MCP server.

A service is something your agent talks to during a [session](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/sessions), such as an API or an MCP server, that Agent Vault brokers credentials for. You store the real credential on the service, and the [proxy](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/proxies.md) adds it to the agent's requests to that service. The agent can authenticate to the service without ever holding the credential.

You can configure services within an [access bundle](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/access-bundles.md), or an admin can send them with a session as [inline services](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/inline-services.md) when creating it through the API. For example, you might create a **code-review** access bundle and add services for Slack, GitHub, and Anthropic:

![The code-review access bundle page. The Services table lists anthropic, slack, and github as HTTP APIs and linear as an MCP server, with slack marked Configured, and the Skills table lists pr-summary and review-guidelines.](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/infisical/images/platform/agent-vault/access-bundle-services.png)

## Service types

You choose a service's type when you pick its template:

> [card] [HTTP APIs](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/http-apis.md)
>
> Web APIs that the agent calls directly, such as GitHub, Slack, and Anthropic.

> [card] [MCP servers](https://infisical.com/docs/documentation/platform/agent-vault/mcp-servers.md)
>
> Remote MCP servers whose tools the agent calls, such as Linear and Notion.
