Integrations
Connect Claude or ChatGPT to NannyAi so your assistant can read and update your real family calendar, meals, pantry, groceries, and routines.
NannyAi runs an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server — an open standard that lets an AI assistant securely act on your behalf. Connect it once and your assistant works with the same calendar, meals, and lists your household already uses. No copy-pasting.
Why connect
The web and mobile apps are still home base. The MCP connection adds a second way in — the AI assistant you reach for every day.
“What’s on the calendar this weekend?” — answered straight from your real schedule.
Every breakfast, lunch, and dinner written directly into the planner.
Generate it from a meal plan, then record what was bought, missed, or swapped.
Pantry staples, reminders, tasks, and illustrated kid routines, all up to date.
An assistant with a browser can assemble a delivery cart and report back.
Before you start
A NannyAi household account
You sign in with this when connecting — your assistant never sees your password.
An active subscription
The MCP endpoint follows the same access rules as the AI features in the app.
A compatible AI client
Claude or ChatGPT with support for custom connectors — the steps below cover both.
Set up
Add NannyAi from Claude’s settings — no command line, no config files. It works the same in the Claude desktop app and at claude.ai.
In the Claude desktop app or at claude.ai, open Settings and choose Connectors.
Select Add custom connector. You may need to expand an Advanced or developer section first.
Drop in the NannyAi MCP server address and save:
https://ournanny.ai/mcp
Claude opens a NannyAi sign-in window. Sign in and approve access — see “How sign-in works” below.
The NannyAi tools now appear in Claude. Try asking what’s on the calendar this week.
ChatGPT can use NannyAi as a custom connector. This requires a paid ChatGPT plan, and you may need to turn on developer mode for connectors first.
In ChatGPT, open Settings and choose Connectors (sometimes “Apps & connectors”).
In the advanced or developer settings, enable custom connector / developer mode if it isn’t already on.
Choose Create or Add a custom connector, name it NannyAi, and paste the server URL:
https://ournanny.ai/mcp
Select OAuth as the authentication method, then continue.
Sign in to NannyAi in the window that opens, approve access, then enable the connector inside a chat.
Connector menus in ChatGPT change often. If the labels differ, look for whatever option lets you add a custom MCP server by URL.
NannyAi uses OAuth — the same standard behind “Sign in with Google”. Your assistant never receives your password.
The client sends you to a NannyAi sign-in page in a normal browser window.
NannyAi shows an approval screen describing exactly what access is being granted.
The assistant receives a revocable token tied only to your household — not your login details.
Capabilities
Once connected, the assistant works with the same data as the apps.
Read, add, reschedule, complete, or cancel events, reminders, and to-dos.
Read planned meals and write breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack slots.
Read the working list, rebuild it after meal planning, and record shopping outcomes.
List staples, add or update items, and mark them restocked.
Read and edit illustrated kid routines and their steps.
Read the household conversation and add or recall saved facts.
Connecting a grocery store and placing orders stays family-driven from the dashboard — the assistant cannot connect stores or check out on your behalf.
Privacy & control
A connection can only see your family — never any other household.
Remove a connection whenever you like; the assistant immediately loses access.
If access lapses, the MCP endpoint stops responding until it’s restored.
It’s a signed-in connection — only link AI clients you trust on machines you control.
Troubleshooting
Confirm the connection finished sign-in and is enabled in the current chat.
Make sure you can log in to NannyAi normally in a browser first, then retry.
Check that your NannyAi subscription is active.
Remove the connector and add it again with the exact server URL above.
You’ll need a NannyAi account and an active subscription before connecting an assistant.
