Connect Kept to your AI

Kept speaks MCP, the open protocol that Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and most other agents use to reach tools. Connect Kept once and your agent can read your tasks, notes, calendar, habits, goals, and memory, and write to them with your permission, all through one address:

https://mcp.kept.do/mcp

The one-sentence setup

Paste this to any agent that can fetch a web page:

Fetch https://kept.do/agent-setup/prompt.md and follow its instructions to connect Kept (my notes, tasks, and calendar) to this agent over MCP.

The agent reads the instructions, adds Kept as a server, and walks you through sign-in. Both apps carry the sentence with a copy button beside it: Settings → Connect to your AI on iPhone, Settings → Connect to your AI (MCP) → Set up on Mac, or Help → Connect Kept to your AI… in the Mac menu bar.

Sign in once, in your browser

When the agent first calls Kept, a browser page opens: The organizer your agent can use. Enter your Kept email and tap Email me a code. The code arrives with the subject line ending is your Kept sign-in code, works once, and expires in an hour. On the Approve access page, paste it, choose whether tasks this agent creates are For me or Its own work, review the permissions, and tap Approve and connect. Kept mints a short-lived token for that agent and hands it back. The agent never sees your password, because Kept has none, and never receives a Kept session token.

Client by client

Claude (web, desktop, mobile). On a Pro or Max plan, open Settings → Customize → Connectors, press +, choose Add custom connector, name it Kept, paste the server address, and sign in. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it from organization settings. The apps offer an Open Claude button that prefills the form; you still review and confirm.

Claude Code. Run these two lines, then /reload-plugins --force in the same conversation, then /mcp and choose kept to finish sign-in.

claude plugin marketplace add keptdo/skills
claude plugin install kept@kept

If you added Kept before with claude mcp add, run claude mcp remove kept first; a directly added server of that name hides the plugin's own.

ChatGPT. Turn on Developer mode under Settings → Security and login, then Settings → Plugins → + and create a developer-mode app for the server address. Authorize with your Kept email and code.

Codex.

codex mcp add kept --url https://mcp.kept.do/mcp
codex mcp login kept

Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, OpenCode. Add an HTTP MCP server pointing at the address. The exact JSON for each lives at kept.do/agent-setup.

What to ask once connected

• "Capture: call the plumber Tuesday." Filed as the right thing, same as in the app.
• "What's on my plate today?"
• "What does Kept remember about my training?"
• "Add a strength day before the half marathon."
• "Export my open tasks as markdown."
• "Search Kept's docs for how habit groups work."

Make it a habit your agent keeps

The connection persists across sessions. The habit of using it does not, unless it lives in your agent's standing instructions. Paste this where your agent keeps its rules:

When you work with my Kept account:
- Every todo, follow-up, or commitment goes to kept_create_task. I have one list, and it lives in Kept.
- Meetings and dated events go to kept_create_event.
- Durable facts and preferences go to kept_remember.
- Before answering from guesses about my life or work, call kept_get_today and, for the topic, kept_recall.
- You are a guest in my memory. The full skill: https://kept.do/agent-setup/memory.md

See and disconnect connected agents

Both apps list your connected agents under Connected agents on the same Settings screen, with when each was last used. Disconnect revokes that agent immediately on the server, with no confirmation and no undo; connect again from the agent if you change your mind. You can also remove the connector inside the agent's own settings.
