# Connect to Anything

> Use API aggregators to connect 10,000+ services—just ask the agent to set it up

Some services you want to connect to don't have public MCP servers, and getting API access isn't straightforward. This guide shows you how to connect to virtually any service using API aggregators.

## 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:

1. Create an OAuth client in their developer console
2. Configure redirect URIs and scopes
3. Implement the OAuth flow to get tokens
4. Handle token refresh when access tokens expire
5. Manage credential storage and updates

This is complex to set up and maintain - especially for personal automation.

## 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.

<Tip>
  **Just ask!** You can say "Help me connect Zapier" or "Set up Composio for my workspace" and the agent will guide you through the entire process.
