GigiGigiBack to the story

01What this is

Gigi is the network your agents use to reach people. It knows who you have actually met, emailed and worked with, and through the people you trust, who they know too.

Connect it once and the agent you already use can answer who you know at a company, what you know about someone, and who can introduce you to the person you want to reach. It finds the warm path. You choose who to ask.

Every agent plugs in one of three ways: a connector you add by its address, a message you send it, or a command it runs. Pick yours below.

02Pick your agent

03Before you start

  • A Gigi account. Your agent reads your own network, so it needs to know who you are. Gigi is invite only for now: ask for an invite.
  • For Claude, ChatGPT, Poke and any MCP client, the Gigi address, the same for everyone:

    https://mcp.gigi.co/mcp

    Keep the /mcp at the end. Without it the agent will still sign you in, and then find no tools at all.
  • For Instinct, Muse and Grok, nothing but the message in their section. There is no key or password to paste anywhere: you approve the connection on Gigi’s own page.

04Claude

  1. Copy the Gigi address above.
  2. Open Claude’s connectors (Settings, then Connectors). Choose Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Enter Gigi as the name, paste the address, and choose Continue. Claude has already detected how Gigi signs in, so leave those options as they are and choose Add.
  4. Choose Connect with Gigi. Gigi’s approval page opens: sign in if you are not already, read what the connector may do, and choose Allow.
  5. Start a new chat and ask: What can you see of my Gigi network?

Add it once on claude.ai and it is there in the Claude desktop and mobile apps too. Claude may call Gigi an unverified app: that is expected while Gigi is not yet listed in Claude’s directory, and it says nothing about the connection itself, which your own Gigi account authorizes.

05ChatGPT

Until Gigi is listed in ChatGPT’s directory, ChatGPT treats it as a custom plugin, so it takes a few more steps than Claude.

  1. Turn on developer mode: open ChatGPT’s settings, then under Security and login, scroll down to Developer mode and turn it on. ChatGPT marks it as elevated risk. That warning is about custom plugins in general, not about Gigi.
  2. Copy the Gigi address above.
  3. Open ChatGPT’s new plugin form. Name it Gigi, paste the address as the server URL, choose OAuth as the authentication, tick “I understand and want to continue”, and choose Create.
  4. Choose Sign in with Gigi, then Allow on Gigi’s approval page.
  5. Start a new conversation and type @Gigi before your question. ChatGPT loads plugins when a conversation begins, so one that was already open will not see Gigi.

06Poke

  1. Copy the Gigi address above.
  2. Open Poke’s new integration form.
  3. Enter Gigi as the name, paste the address as the server URL, and choose Create Integration. Leave the API key empty: Gigi signs in with OAuth, which Poke detects on its own when that field is blank.
  4. Poke opens Gigi's approval page. Read what the integration may do and choose Allow.
  5. Text Poke in Messages, where it answers: message Poke opens the conversation on an iPhone or a Mac with the first question written.

07Instinct, Muse and Grok

Instinct, Muse and Grok need no settings page and no form. You ask them to connect themselves, in the chat you already have with them.

  1. Send them this message:

    I want to use Gigi. Everything you need to connect to it is here: https://gigi.co/agents/llms.txt

  2. They read the page, work out how they can reach Gigi, and send you a link and a short code. Open the link, enter the code, and approve. Nothing in your network is readable until you do. The code lasts about twenty minutes.
  3. Once they say they are connected, ask who you know, or who could introduce you to someone.

The same message works with other agents you talk to, as long as they can read a web page: they pick the route they can take on their own.

08Claude Code, Cursor and any MCP client

  • It can add a server by URL. Add the Gigi address above as a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP). It signs you in with OAuth in your browser; there is no API key. In Claude Code:

    claude mcp add --transport http gigi https://mcp.gigi.co/mcp

    then run /mcp in a session to sign in.
  • It can only run commands. Register this as a command MCP server:

    npx -y @askgigi/cli mcp

    and sign in once with npx -y @askgigi/cli login, which prints a link and a code to approve.
  • Not sure? Send it the message from Instinct, Muse and Grok and let it choose.

09Things to ask

  • What can you see of my Gigi network?
  • Who could get me in front of a partner at Sequoia?
  • Find me intros to these 25 angels.
  • Who do I know at Stripe?
  • Remind me who Marie Dupont is and how I know her.
  • Who in my network could introduce me to someone at a Series B fintech?

A search takes twenty to sixty seconds. Your agent will tell you it is working; let it finish.

10What it cannot do

  • It reads. What it can change, when you ask it to: send a Key People request to a contact you name, as the Connect button in Gigi does (that contact is notified and decides), and act on a pending request as the lists on your Network page do: accept or decline one you received, remind or cancel one you sent. It never sends an introduction or a message for you. Drafting one is fine; sending it stays yours.
  • It sees only what you can already see in Gigi, and nothing beyond the networks you are authorized to search.
  • It cannot act as anyone else. The connection is tied to your account, and nothing an agent sends can change whose network it reads.

What you ask for is returned to your agent, which processes it under its provider’s own terms. Results describe real people and can include their contact details. Our privacy policy explains what that means.

11If something goes wrong

  • You sign in but no tools appear. The address is missing its /mcp. Remove Gigi and add it again with the full address.
  • The agent says it has no Gigi. Start a new conversation: connectors and plugins are loaded when one begins.
  • The code expired. Ask your agent to sign in again. It sends a new link and code; the old one is dead.
  • Approving sends you back to the same screen. Sign out of Gigi in your browser, sign in again, then approve.
  • A search returns nothing. Ask your agent what it can see of your network first. It will tell you how many people are reachable, which usually explains a thin result.
