Nango integration for Claude and Codex

Use Nango from Sidekick

Connect your own OpenClaw to Sidekick while Type provides the conversations, permissions, connections, skills, and automations.

Developer Tools & IT

What the Nango connector can do

Nango provides a unified API to integrate with over 250 external APIs, offering pre-built and customizable integrations for various categories such as CRM, HR, and accounting systems.

One connection, many Spaces

Connect Nango once, then decide which Spaces can use it in threads, skills, automations, and coding work.

Representative actions

  • Trigger Nango Action

    Trigger a Nango action to execute a workflow or operation. Use this to run pre-defined actions in your Nango integrations, such as creating issues, sending messages, or fetching data from external APIs. All three of `connection_id`, `provider_config_key`, and `action_name` must simultaneously match a pre-configured integration and connection in Nango — a valid `connection_id` alone is insufficient if the other two don't correspond to an existing setup. Actions may have real upstream side effects (e.g., creating records, sending messages); confirm intent before triggering non-read-only operations.

  • Add Connection

    Tool to add a connection with existing credentials to Nango. Use when you want to bulk import existing access tokens into Nango.

  • List Connections

    List all Nango connections without credentials. Use this to discover available connections, check connection status, and find connection IDs. Omitting all filters returns every connection across all integrations; use `connection_id`, `end_user_id`, or `end_user_organization_id` to narrow results. To retrieve credentials for a specific connection, use the 'Get Connection Details' action.

  • Create Connect Session

    Tool to create a new connect session with a 30-minute lifespan for enabling connection creation via Connect UI. Use when you need to generate a session token for users to authorize integrations through Nango's Connect interface.

  • Create Integration

    Tool to create a new integration in Nango. Use when setting up a new provider connection configuration. Creates an integration with specified credentials (OAuth2, App-based, or Hybrid authentication). The unique_key will be used to reference this integration in subsequent API calls. Returns the created integration details including timestamps and provider information.

Connection

API and auth details

Nango provides infrastructure for authorization, syncing, actions, and unified access to external APIs. Integrations can manage connections, OAuth/API-key auth, sync jobs, records, webhooks, actions, scripts, environments, and agent-facing access through Nango APIs, SDKs, and MCP support.

FAQ

Questions people ask before connecting Nango

Can Claude use Nango?

Yes. Add a Nango connection to a Space that runs Claude, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Can Codex work with Nango through Type?

Yes. Add a Nango connection to a Space that runs Codex, then use its approved tools and data from any channel in that Space.

Is this the same as a Nango MCP server?

Not exactly. Type uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
