Use Dayplan with AI assistants

You can connect Dayplan to the AI assistant you already use, like Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Cursor. Then you can plan your day the way you'd talk it through with a friend:

• "What's on my plan today?"
• "Add these five things to my Inbox."
• "Move my writing block to tomorrow at 9."
• "Break 'plan the launch' into steps."
• "Mark the dentist as done."

The assistant works directly in your planner, so whatever it adds or changes shows up in Dayplan right away, on every device. For more ideas, see What you can ask your assistant.

Before you startCopy Anchor Link

• Connecting assistants is part of Dayplan Pro, including the free trial. See Dayplan plans.
• You need an assistant that can connect to remote MCP servers. MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the open standard assistants use to connect to other apps. Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code all support it.

How connecting worksCopy Anchor Link

Every assistant connects the same way:

1. In Dayplan, open Settings → Connected agents and copy your connector URL: https://api.dayplan.do/mcp.
2. Add that URL to your assistant. Each one keeps it in a different place: see Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others.
3. The assistant opens a Dayplan page in your browser. Check that the assistant named at the top is the one you're connecting, choose what it may do, and select Allow access.

There's no password to share and no key to copy. You sign in to Dayplan yourself, and the assistant only gets the access you chose.

Choose what an assistant may doCopy Anchor Link

When you connect, you pick one of three levels:

• Read your plan: see your days, tasks, calendar events and free time.
• Add tasks: also add tasks with their steps and notes, and new areas. An area is a project or part of your life you file tasks under.
• Change and complete tasks (marked Recommended): also reschedule, rename, complete, reopen and delete tasks. Deleted tasks go to your Trash, where you can restore them.

You also choose how long the connection lasts under Connected for: Until you disconnect (the default), or 30 days, 7 days or 1 day.

Most assistants ask you to confirm before they change or delete tasks, and Dayplan asks them to check with you before deleting anything. They say what they added or changed afterwards.

See and disconnect your assistantsCopy Anchor Link

Open Settings → Connected agents. Under Cloud assistants, each connected assistant shows the access you chose, how long it lasts and when it was last used.

To disconnect one, select Disconnect… next to it, then Disconnect. It can't use your planner from that moment. To use it again, connect it again from the assistant. You can also remove Dayplan in the assistant's own settings.

Good to knowCopy Anchor Link

• Assistants aren't Dayplan's Coach. An assistant you connect runs on its own AI, under its own plan and privacy policy. It doesn't use your Dayplan AI actions. See Coach, AI and your data.
• Calendar events are read only. Assistants see the titles and times of your calendar events, so they can plan around them, but they can't create or change events.
• If your Pro plan ends, your connections stay in place, but assistants can't use your planner until you upgrade again. There's nothing to reconnect. See What happens when Pro ends.
• Private planners: if your planner is Private (end-to-end encrypted), assistants can't connect to it yet.
• Questions? Select your profile picture, then Message us, or write to support@dayplan.do. See Message the Dayplan team.

Frequently asked questionsCopy Anchor Link

Which assistants work with Dayplan?Copy Anchor Link

Any assistant that connects to remote MCP servers and signs in with OAuth, the standard "sign in with" flow. Step-by-step guides for Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code are in Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and others.

Does the assistant see my conversations with Coach?Copy Anchor Link

No. An assistant sees your plan: tasks, areas, calendar event titles and times, and free time. It doesn't see your Coach conversation or your Coach settings.

Does Dayplan see my chats with the assistant?Copy Anchor Link

No. Dayplan only receives the requests the assistant makes to your planner, like "show today's plan" or "add these tasks". Your conversation stays with the assistant.

Can I connect more than one assistant?Copy Anchor Link

Yes. Each one has its own row in Settings → Connected agents, with its own access level, and you can disconnect them one at a time.
