# Aident Loadout

> Aident Loadout gives AI agents secure access to more than 1,000 apps and tools through one managed setup. Connect tools once, use them across supported agents, and review every action without exposing raw credentials to the agent.

## Core Capabilities

- **Use one loadout across agents**: Reuse connected tools in coding agents and AI chat apps, including Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and Claude.
- **Connect 1,000+ tools**: Discover integrations for communication, productivity, development, data, sales, marketing, and specialized workflows.
- **Keep credentials private**: Aident Vault manages OAuth grants and API credentials so agents can act without receiving raw secrets.
- **Review every action**: Audit records what ran, which integration was used, whether it succeeded, and how many credits it consumed.
- **Use connected and built-in services**: Bring your own accounts or use supported Aident-managed tools without separate provider setup.
- **Run through CLI or MCP**: The Aident Loadout CLI and MCP server expose the same capability discovery and execution workflow to supported clients.

## How It Works

1. Follow the setup guide from a supported agent.
2. Connect the apps and services the agent needs through Aident Vault.
3. Ask the agent to discover and use the relevant Aident Loadout capabilities.
4. Review execution results and history in the Loadout dashboard and Audit.

## Primary Use Cases

- Let coding agents work with issue trackers, repositories, documentation, communication tools, and deployment platforms.
- Give AI chat apps access to calendars, email, files, spreadsheets, CRMs, and other business systems.
- Use built-in search, crawling, data, and media services without managing separate provider subscriptions or credentials.
- Reuse the same connected toolset across supported agents, clients, and devices.
