Saga works with the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard that lets AI assistants and tools talk to each other. You don’t need to understand the technology to use it. What matters is that Saga connects in two directions, and you can use either or both.

​
The two directions

Use Saga from another AI assistant. Connect an assistant you already use — like Claude or ChatGPT — to your Saga workspace. You can then ask that assistant questions and it will answer using your Saga projects, documents, and workflows. Here, Saga is the source the assistant pulls from. Bring outside tools into Saga. Connect external tools and data sources to Saga, so the AI inside Saga can use them while you chat. For example, your firm might connect a research database or an internal system. Here, Saga is the one reaching out to those tools. A simple way to remember it:

These are independent — setting up one doesn’t require the other. Pick whichever fits what you’re trying to do, or set up both.

​
Which one do I set up?

  • If you live in Claude or ChatGPT and want them to draw on your matters, start with Connect your assistant to Saga.
  • If your firm wants Saga’s AI to reach an external system or database during chats, that’s Connect tools to Saga, and it’s usually set up by an administrator.
  • Building a custom integration yourself? See Developer setup for the technical details.
