Connect

Connect an AI client to your outline.

Listlis speaks the Model Context Protocol. ChatGPT, Claude, and other compatible clients can read the tree with the context around each node, tell you what is overdue, and write whole subtrees back to the outline you use from the keyboard.

Server URL

https://mcp.listlis.com/mcp

Before you connect

The Listlis consent screen shows each permission the client requests. Read and write permissions apply across your account within their stated scope, even when a prompt names one branch. The client sends tool arguments and an OAuth credential to Listlis, and receives the requested content or operation result. You can disconnect that grant from the app without affecting other clients.

See the privacy policy for data handling and the terms for your responsibilities when an AI client acts on the account.

Setup

ChatGPT

When Listlis is available in ChatGPT, open its app listing, choose Connect, and approve the requested permissions on the Listlis consent page.

claude.ai

  1. Open Settings, then Connectors.
  2. Add a custom connector and paste the server URL.
  3. Connect, and sign in with your listlis account when prompted.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http listlis https://mcp.listlis.com/mcp

Then run /mcp and authenticate in the browser window it opens.

What it can do

Read the tree in context

A node with its Markdown body, the path of ancestors above it, its siblings, and the subtree below.

Search by meaning

Semantic search over every title and body, each hit carrying the breadcrumb that shows where it lives.

Answer "what is due?"

The agenda: due, incomplete items bucketed into overdue, today, and the next seven days.

Pack a topic

Everything about one subject gathered into a single Markdown bundle, trimmed to fit a context window.

Write structure, not just lines

Create, edit, reparent, and delete — or import a whole Markdown outline as a nested subtree in one call.

Set dates and repeats

Due dates in plain language, recurrence, todo types, styles, pins, and completion that rolls up the tree.

And a plain REST API

For scripts and bulk work there is an HTTP API behind short-lived bearer keys you mint in the app — under 24 hours, revocable at any time. One call imports a whole Markdown outline as a subtree, which is far faster than adding items one at a time.

Everything here lives in the app under Connect AI — the footer link, the ? help overlay, or the g c chord.
