The Challenge
Services like Google (Gmail, Calendar, Drive, YouTube, Search Console) and Microsoft (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive) don’t offer simple API tokens. To connect directly, you’d need to:- Create an OAuth client in their developer console
- Configure redirect URIs and scopes
- Implement the OAuth flow to get tokens
- Handle token refresh when access tokens expire
- Manage credential storage and updates
The Solution: API Aggregators
API aggregators handle all the OAuth complexity for you. They’ve already registered OAuth clients with thousands of services, so you just sign in with your account and get instant API access. Even better - several aggregators now offer MCP servers that you can connect directly to Craft Agent.Aggregator Options
