Give agents tools: Google Sheets, a browser and other MCP servers

Step by step: connect a tool

1. Gear, Agents block, “Agent tools”.
2. Click ”+”. The catalog opens: Google Sheets, Browser (Playwright), Memory, Access to a folder on this Mac.
3. If what you need is not in the catalog:
   • “Connect by URL”: a hosted server at https://…;
   • “Connect by command”: a program on this Mac, its arguments and variables.
4. Click “Connect”. The tool appears in the list.
5. “Check connection” shows which tools respond.

Google Sheets, step by step

1. Pick “Google Sheets” in the catalog. Hedoq installs the Sheets component.
2. Open Google Cloud with the button and create a service account. Download its key.
3. “Choose key file”. Hedoq checks the file and keeps it in its own folder.
4. Share the spreadsheets you need with the service account address Hedoq shows.
5. Add spreadsheets by link. Hedoq takes the names and sheets from Google.

If there is no access, Hedoq says so: share the spreadsheet with the address above and try again.

What the labels mean

• http, sse: a server at an address. Claude Code sees these.
• on demand: a program on your Mac. Hedoq starts it for a single call instead of keeping it in every session. All agents see these: Claude, Codex and automation scripts.
• project: a tool from the project’s own settings.

Good to know

• Do not paste keys into the chat. The agent takes them from Keys and passwords.
• You can ask the agent to connect a tool in plain words: it knows how to do it in Hedoq.
• The “From your phone” group in the same section lists the iPhone tools. See agents using your phone.
• Backup agents in automations do not see servers by address: those belong to Claude Code. On-demand tools are visible to all.
