Sonto for Mac has a built-in MCP server, so you can connect it to agentic AI tools like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Craft Agents. Once connected, your AI can read your Sonto data and — if you allow it — write to Sonto too: creating tasks, building a plan, scheduling work. AI can do the work; Sonto stays the place where you decide what work matters. Watch below, or read the written steps that follow.
The MCP server runs on Mac only.

​
Turn on the MCP server

Open Settings → AI and toggle the MCP server on. There are two modes:
  • Read-only — your AI can see your data but not change it. The safe default.
  • Read and write — the full experience: your AI can create and update tasks and plans. Switch to this when you’re ready.

​
Connect your AI tool

1

Grab the command for your tool

The Connect to AI Agents reference has a ready-made command for each tool (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and others). Copy the one for yours.
2

Run it and pair

Paste the command into your terminal. A browser window opens asking for a pairing code. Find the code in Settings → AI, just below the endpoint, copy it in, and authorise.
3

Confirm the connection

Back in Settings → AI, your tool now shows as a connected client. You can disconnect it any time — that instantly revokes its access — or toggle the server off entirely to stop all connections.

​
Put it to work

In your AI tool, check that Sonto is connected (in Codex, /mcp lists Sonto and its tools). Then just ask in plain language. For example:
Create a long-term plan in Sonto for 2026. Add three groups — health, wealth, wise — and a few goals in each.
The AI works out which Sonto tools to call and builds the plan, groups, and goals for you. Beyond long-term plans, it can help plan your week or day, read your existing plans and calendar, and schedule tasks — most of what you can do in Sonto, it can do for you.
