Connect an agent

Give an AI tool access to your GigaRAG Workspace, so it can search, read and write your memos while it works.

Copilot plugins

Copilot Chat in JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse and Xcode.

Connect with the GigaRAG CLI

Copilot plugins keeps its settings somewhere a command cannot safely rewrite, so the CLI prints exactly what to enter instead. Signing in still happens in your browser, and no key is written into any config file.

npm install -g gigarag
gigarag login
gigarag connect copilot-plugins

Paste what it prints, then restart Copilot plugins afterwards. Nothing here expires, and gigarag connect --remove takes GigaRAG back out of everything it touched.

Sign in with GigaRAG

Connect without a key: Copilot plugins opens your browser, you sign in to GigaRAG and pick this workspace.

Sign-in is in preview in these plugins.

  1. 1.

    Open the MCP config in your IDE

    JetBrains: Copilot Chat, the tools icon, then Add MCP Tools. Eclipse: Preferences, GitHub Copilot, MCP. Xcode: Editor, GitHub Copilot, Settings, the MCP tab, then Edit Config.

  2. 2.

    Add GigaRAG without a header

    mcp.json
    {
  "servers": {
    "gigarag": { "url": "https://mcp.gigarag.com/mcp" }
  }
}
  3. 3.

    Sign in with your GigaRAG account

    Your browser opens GigaRAG. Pick the workspace to share and approve. No key is stored in the app, and the connection does not expire.

Or set it up by hand

  1. 1.

    Open the MCP config in your IDE

    JetBrains: Copilot Chat, the tools icon, then Add MCP Tools. Eclipse: Preferences, GitHub Copilot, MCP. Xcode: Editor, GitHub Copilot, Settings, the MCP tab, then Edit Config.

  2. 2.

    Add GigaRAG and save

    These plugins put headers under requestInit, unlike VS Code.

    mcp.json
    {
  "servers": {
    "gigarag": {
      "url": "https://mcp.gigarag.com/mcp",
      "requestInit": {
        "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <api-key>" }
      }
    }
  }
}

Check it worked

Send this once it is connected. An answer drawn from your workspace means the connection is live.
