Google Messages + Copilot integration
Connect Google Messages to Copilot
ConnectChats brings your Google Messages chats into Copilot. Ask Copilot to catch you up, find any message and draft replies. Nothing gets sent until you approve it.
Free to start. No app to install. Every send needs your OK.
What Copilot can do with your Google Messages
ConnectChats gives Copilot a small set of tools. Copilot calls them when you ask about your Google Messages chats, and only for the chats you share.
-
Catch you up
Ask what you missed and Copilot reads your unread Google Messages chats, then gives you the short version: who needs an answer, what was decided, what can wait.
get_messages_to_summarize -
Find any message
The address someone sent last month, the price a client agreed to, the link from a group chat. Copilot searches your Google Messages history and quotes the message.
search_messages -
Draft replies
Copilot writes the reply in your tone, in the chat's language, with the context of the whole thread. You read it, edit it, and send it.
draft_reply -
Send with your OK
When you approve a draft, ConnectChats sends it from your own Google Messages account and confirms delivery. Auto-send only runs in chats where you switch it on.

-
Add ConnectChats to Copilot
- In VS Code, open the Command Palette, run MCP: Add Server, choose HTTP and paste https://api.connectchats.com/mcp.
- Name the server connectchats. Copilot opens the ConnectChats sign-in page, where you sign in with your passkey.
- Your shared chats are then available when you ask Copilot about your messages in agent mode.

Link your Google Messages account
- Open https://connectchats.com/app and choose Link a chat app, then Google Messages.
- On your Android phone, open Google Messages, tap your profile picture, then Device pairing, then QR code scanner.

- Your chats appear in the dashboard, where you choose which ones your AI app can see.
-
Pick the chats Copilot can see
Every chat is listed in your ConnectChats dashboard. Share all of them or only the ones you choose. Copilot never sees the rest.
-
Ask Copilot about your Google Messages
Open a new conversation in Copilot and ask about your chats. Copilot calls ConnectChats when it needs your messages.
How Google Messages and Copilot work together
ConnectChats pairs with your Android phone the same way Google Messages for web does, so your texts and RCS chats reach your AI app. You choose which conversations it can see.
-
Google Messages in ConnectChats
SMS, MMS and RCS chats, including group chats, are supported. Your phone sends and receives the texts, so it needs to stay on and connected to the internet. Each linked chat starts with its last 200 messages, then every new message arrives as it is sent. This is for Android phones. On iPhone, texts go through iMessage, which needs a Mac.
-
ConnectChats in Copilot
ConnectChats works with GitHub Copilot in VS Code and with Copilot Studio agents, which can both add a remote MCP server. The consumer Copilot app for Windows, the web and your phone does not offer a setting to add your own MCP server. In VS Code, GitHub Copilot adds a remote MCP server with the MCP: Add Server command. In Copilot Studio, makers add MCP servers to an agent under Tools, Add a tool, Model Context Protocol. It needs a work account and the right licences. The same ConnectChats account works in every AI app, so the chats you already linked are available in Copilot without linking them again. The consumer Copilot app has no setting for your own MCP servers, so use ConnectChats through GitHub Copilot in VS Code or a Copilot Studio agent.
Your Google Messages stays under your control
-
You pick the chats
Copilot only sees the Google Messages chats you share. Unshare a chat and it disappears from every AI app at once.
-
Drafts by default
Copilot prepares replies. You approve each one before it reaches Google Messages, unless you turn on auto-send for that chat.
-
Stored messages are encrypted
Stored messages are encrypted with a key that only your passkey can unlock. We never train models on your messages.
