# Agents in chat

Give your Trickest agent a task from chat. Ask it to inspect a run, query a database, or build a workflow. Replies return to the channel where you asked.

## Slack

Install the Trickest app from **Settings → Connectors**, then link your personal Slack account. Each sender uses their own Trickest permissions. You need managed AI access.

[Connect Slack](/docs/using-the-app/ai-agent/slack)

## External agents

To use Trickest from Claude, Cursor, Codex, or another MCP client, [connect the Trickest MCP server](/docs/developer-tools/mcp).
