Step 3: Start using it

Once connected, just ask your AI to do something with SAGA. For example:

  • "Create a lead magnet called 'Free PDF Guide'"

  • "What are my contact pipeline stats?"

  • "Add a follow-up task for John in SAGA"

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix

Browser doesn't open for login

Check that your AI client supports OAuth for remote MCP servers

"401 Unauthorized"

Your OAuth session may have expired — remove and re-add the connection

Tools not showing up

Restart the app completely after adding the connection

"Transport not supported"

Make sure you're using Streamable HTTP or SSE, not stdio

One connection, one OAuth login, and your SAGA workspace works across any AI assistant that supports MCP.
