Connecting your tools
What you can connect to Giga, the ways to connect, and what to do when a tool isn't in the catalog.
Giga has a catalog of apps you can browse and search by category. If a tool is in the catalog, connecting it is usually a couple of clicks.
Connection methods
Different tools connect in different ways. Giga picks the right one for each app, and some apps offer more than one:
- OAuth: approve access on the app's own sign-in screen
- Email and password: enter your login details in Giga's secure form
- API key: paste a key or access token into Giga's secure form
- MCP server: connect an app's MCP server so Giga can use its tools
- Database: connect a PostgreSQL database so Giga can look things up in it
- Cloud browser: sign in to a website once, for sites with no other way in
Some tools have their own setup: Slack installs into your workspace, and WhatsApp connects by scanning a QR code.
Ways to connect
From Integrations
Open Integrations → Search, find the app, choose how you want to connect, and follow the steps. Custom API keys, logins and databases can also be added from Vault → New.
From a chat
Ask Giga to connect something. It sends you a secure setup link — no need to leave the conversation.
From ChatGPT or Claude
Giga can show a connect card right inside the chat.
During onboarding
Pick the tools your work lives in and connect them one after another.
After connecting, give the connection a name so you and your team can tell it apart. Its credential is kept in the Vault, and Integrations → Connected lists everything you've connected.
Multiple accounts
You can connect more than one account for the same app — for example a production and a test account — and give each a clear name.
Tools that aren't in the catalog
If the tool you need isn't listed, you still have options:
- Ask Giga to add it. Giga can work out how the tool connects and create a private integration just for your workspace.
- Bring your own MCP server. Point Giga at your company's own MCP server.
- Bring your own OAuth app. Use your company's own sign-in app for a tool, and share that setup with your workspace — teammates still sign in with their own accounts.
- Use the cloud browser. For websites with no API, Giga can work in the site directly. If a login needs a CAPTCHA or 2FA, Giga sends you a link to sign in yourself, then reuses that sign-in next time.
