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.

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.
