Use Needle from Claude Code
Bring Needle context into engineering work while Type keeps app access attached to the teammate and workspace.
AI agent integrationNeedle
Needle 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 Needle never means pasting credentials into a prompt.
CategoryDeveloper Tools & IT
Automate Needle 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.
Developer Tools & IT
What the Needle integration exposes
Needle provides retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tools that enable semantic search across your data, facilitating the development of AI agents and applications.
One connection, many teammates
Connect Needle once, then decide which teammates can use it for threads, automations, skills, and coding work.
Representative actions
- Add files to a collection
Tool to add files to a collection by providing file URLs. Use when you need to add one or more files to an existing collection. URLs can be public or private (generated via the Files API).
- Add Files to Local Connector
Tool to add files to a local connector by providing file metadata. Use when you need to add external files to a connector using their URLs.
- Create Collection
Tool to create a new collection. Use after confirming the collection name.
- Create Local Connector
Tool to create a local connector that monitors specified folders on a device. Use when setting up file indexing from a local machine into Needle collections.
- Delete files from a collection
Tool to delete files from a specific collection by providing file IDs. Use after confirming valid file IDs to remove from the collection.
Connection
API and auth details
Needle provides RAG tooling and APIs for semantic search over connected data. Integrations can create collections, upload or connect sources, index documents, query relevant context, build custom RAG applications, and support AI agents with retrieval over private knowledge.

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Needle
Can Claude Code use Needle?
Yes. Type lets an AI teammate use connected Needle 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 Needle through Type?
Yes. Codex can collaborate through Type with app context, skills, and approved actions. The Needle catalog entry includes public integration details and example capabilities where available.
Is this the same as a Needle 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.
