A private session is visible only to you; by default, sessions are visible to everyone in your organization. Personal integrations rely on private sessions, so the two work together.
Make a session private
Open the share control in the session header and make the session private. Only you can see it afterward.
Some sessions are private automatically:
- A direct message with Indent in Slack.
- Any session that runs on your computer in the desktop app.
Slack channel threads stay visible to your organization.
Organization and personal integrations
Every integration connects at one of two scopes:
- Organization — shared with your team. Indent connects with a shared account, and anyone in the organization can use it.
- Personal — yours alone. Indent connects as you, with your own account, and only you can see or use it.
Only MCP servers can be personal. GitHub, Slack, and databases are always organization-scoped.
Connect a personal integration
Go to Settings → Integrations → Personal and connect the tool or custom MCP server. You authorize it with your own account, and Indent acts with your access rather than the team’s.
Use a personal integration in a session
Open the integrations picker in a session. It has three tabs: All, Shared, and Personal. When you select a personal integration, Indent makes the session private first, because personal integrations work only in private sessions.
For how scope and visibility affect what Indent can reach, see Permissions and data.
