Connect Plaid to Crush
Give Crush governed access to Plaid’s 5 tools through Runlayer, with identity, policy, scanning, and audit on every call.
Set up
Add Plaid to Crush in four steps
Admins approve the server once. Everyone in Crush then gets it through the same governed connection.
- 1
Add Plaid to Runlayer
Plaid isn’t in the Runlayer catalog yet, so an admin adds it by its MCP server URL.
Adding a connector manually - 2
Connect Crush to Runlayer
Users add the Runlayer Plugin to Crush by following Runlayer’s setup guide. Crush reaches Plaid’s 5 tools through the Runlayer Plugin’s search and execute tools instead of listing each one.

Sign in to Plaid
Sign in the way Plaid requires. Runlayer holds the credentials so they stay out of the client’s configuration.

Control
What Runlayer can see and stop in Crush
Some controls apply to every client at the gateway. Others depend on what Crush exposes to Runlayer.
Gateway policy (available)
Every Plaid call from Crush passes through Runlayer, where your policies can allow, alert, mask, or block it.
Audit trail (available)
Each call is recorded with the user, Crush as the client, the tool, and the policy and scanner decisions.
Native enforcement adapter (not available)
Runlayer has no device-side adapter for Crush yet, so control happens at the gateway.
