This video walks through WorkOS Pipes, a feature that lets you add OAuth connections — GitHub, Slack, Google, and more — to your app without writing and maintaining all the integration plumbing yourself. It's aimed at developers building apps that need to connect to third-party services, including AI agent workflows.
Starting from a blank integrations page in a React Router project, the demo covers installing the WorkOS Pipes widget using WorkOS MCP agent skills, configuring a GitHub OAuth app, handling CORS in the WorkOS dashboard, and displaying live GitHub user data once the connection is established.
The video also shows a real internal use case: the WorkOS team's own YouTube publishing tool, which uses Pipes to connect Google and X accounts, generate metadata from transcripts, and push content directly to those platforms via OAuth.
If you're building multi-tenant apps or agentic tools that need to act on behalf of users across external services, Pipes handles the OAuth complexity so you don't have to.
