Connect Your AI Agent to Business Tools
Slack, Google Calendar, Gmail, CRM — connect everything your agent needs in under 10 minutes using MCP. No coding. No API keys to paste.
What You'll Connect
MCP (Model Context Protocol) lets your AI agent talk directly to the tools you already use. No webhooks, no Zapier glue, no developer console. You click "Connect," authorize, and the agent can read and act inside that tool.
Step-by-Step Setup
- Log into Agent HQ
- Click Settings in the left sidebar
- Scroll to the MCP Connections panel
- You'll see a list of available integrations — each one shows a Connect button
- Click Connect next to Slack
- A Slack authorization window opens — select your workspace
- Choose which channels the agent can access (start with one or two)
- Click Allow — you'll see a green checkmark in Agent HQ
#ai-agent channel so you can see what the agent does before giving it access to team channels.
- Click Connect next to Google Calendar
- Sign in with your Google account
- Grant calendar read and write access
- Choose which calendars the agent can see (personal, work, or both)
Once connected, your agent can check your availability before booking meetings and send you reminders about upcoming events.
- Click Connect next to Gmail
- Authorize email access through the Google sign-in flow
- Choose what the agent can do: Read only or Read + Send
- Optionally filter by label — e.g., only process emails in the "Agent" label
- Click Connect next to your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, or Pipedrive)
- Authenticate through your CRM's OAuth flow
- Map the fields your agent needs — contact name, email, deal stage, last activity
- Set permissions: Read only or Read + Write
Your agent can now look up customer context before responding to emails, log call notes, and update deal stages automatically.
What Happens Next
Once your tools are connected, your agent immediately has access. You don't need to restart anything. Try asking your agent:
The agent reads your calendar, finds open slots, and posts a formatted message in Slack — all in one step. That's the power of MCP: your agent works across tools the same way you do, but faster. Ready for your next win? Check out the 5 tasks to automate in your first week.
