# Build

Model, load, query, and explore graphs on Savanna. New here? Start with [Build your graph in Savanna](../get-started/first-graph-ui), or [Connect AI tools with MCP](../get-started/connect-agent-mcp) once you have a graph. Or use [Build a graph with AI](../build-ai/) as a console shortcut.

This hub links the core Build workflows. Use [Connect via APIs](../workgroup-workspace/workspaces/connect-via-api) or [Connect AI tools with MCP](../get-started/connect-agent-mcp) when you are ready to call the same graph from code or an agent.
