Use Gist from Claude Code
Bring Gist context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.
AI agent integrationGist
Gist integration for multiplayer collaboration with AI agents using Claude Code or Codex
One governed connection your whole team and its AI agents can share, with approved actions and human review, so working in Gist never means pasting credentials into a prompt.
CategoryDeveloper Tools & IT
Automate Gist with Codex
Let coding agents ask for the right app action, preserve conversation context, and keep humans in the approval loop.
Connect open agent workflows
Use Type as the collaboration layer around OpenClaw and other LLM workflows that need app access.

What the Gist integration exposes
GitHub Gist is a service provided by GitHub that allows users to share code snippets, notes, and other text-based content. It supports both public and private gists, enabling easy sharing and collaboration.
One connection, many teammates
Connect Gist once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Check Gist Star
Check if the authenticated user has starred a specific gist. Returns True if the gist is starred, False if not starred or if the gist doesn't exist. This is a read-only, idempotent operation that requires authentication but no special permissions.
- Create Gist
Tool to create a new gist with one or more files. Use when you need to create a code snippet or text file to share. Note: Do not name your files 'gistfile' with a numerical suffix.
- Create Gist Comment
Tool to create a comment on a gist. Use when you need to add a comment to an existing gist.
- Delete Gist
Tool to delete a gist. Use when you have a gist_id and want to permanently remove that gist. Example prompt: "Delete gist 'aa5a315d61ae9438b18d'".
- Delete Gist Comment
Tool to delete a comment on a gist. Use when you have both the gist_id and comment_id and want to remove that comment. Example prompt: "Delete comment 42 from gist 'aa5a315d61ae9438b18d'".
Connection
API and auth details
GitHub Gist is exposed through GitHub REST API endpoints for listing, creating, updating, deleting, starring, forking, and commenting on gists. Integrations can automate public or secret snippet workflows, retrieve gist files and revisions, manage comments, and use GitHub token authentication with the scopes granted to the connected account.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Gist
Can Claude Code use Gist?
Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected Gist actions from a governed workspace context, so Claude Code work can reference the app without copying credentials into a local prompt.
Can Codex work with Gist through Type?
Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The Gist catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.
Is this the same as a Gist MCP server?
Type exposes connected app capabilities to AI teammates and coding agents through Type's integration layer. Teams use it when they want shared app access, human review, and teammate-level permissions around agent work.
