Connect your AI assistant

Connect your AI assistant

You can use Notom straight from your AI assistant. Ask it what's on your plate, capture a new note by just talking, or get the single most important thing to do right now - without leaving the chat.

It works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and anything else that supports connectors (the open standard behind this is called MCP, but you don't need to know that).

What you can ask it to do

Once connected, your assistant can:

  • Read your notes - "What did I write about the Henderson project?"
  • Capture new notes - "Make a note: call the dentist on Thursday." Notom pulls out the to-dos automatically.
  • Find your to-dos - "What's on my list?"
  • Tell you the one thing to do now - "What should I focus on right now?"
  • Tick things off - "Mark that one done."

The easy way: sign in, no key needed

This is the route most people want. You paste one web address into your assistant, a Notom sign-in window opens, and that's it - your assistant is connected to your account. There's nothing to copy and no password to share.

The address to use is:

https://notom.app/mcp/notes

Claude

  1. Open Claude (the app or claude.ai).
  2. Go to Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
  3. Paste https://notom.app/mcp/notes as the address.
  4. Click through, and a Notom sign-in window opens. Sign in as you normally would.
  5. Approve the access it asks for. Done - Claude can now work with your notes.

ChatGPT

  1. Open ChatGPT and go to Settings → Connectors (you'll need a plan that supports custom connectors).
  2. Add a new connector and paste https://notom.app/mcp/notes as the server address.
  3. Sign in to Notom in the window that opens and approve access.

Cursor and other tools

Anything that speaks MCP can connect. Add a remote (HTTP) MCP server with the address https://notom.app/mcp/notes. When it first connects it will open a Notom sign-in page; approve it and you're set.

Tip: when you connect this way, your assistant gets access to exactly what you approve, and you can disconnect it at any time from your assistant's settings.

The other way: an API key

If you're wiring up a script, an automation, or a tool that asks you to paste in an API key, you can create one instead.

  1. In Notom, open the account menu and go to AI assistants & API.
  2. Choose Read & write (or Read only if you just want it to look, not change anything), optionally pin it to a single space, and give it a name you'll recognise.
  3. Click Create key and copy the key straight away - you'll only see it once.

Use the key by sending it as a header with each request:

X-API-Key: twk_your_key_here

The API itself lives at https://notom.app/api, and a full machine-readable description of every endpoint is at https://notom.app/api/openapi.json.

If a key is ever lost or you no longer need it, go back to AI assistants & API and revoke it - whatever was using it stops working straight away.

Is it safe?

Yes. A few things worth knowing:

  • You're always in control. Signing in or creating a key only grants what you choose, and you can revoke access at any time.
  • Read-only means read-only. A read-only connection or key can look at your notes but can't change, create or delete anything.
  • Your notes stay yours. Connecting an assistant doesn't make your notes public or share them with anyone else.
