Planner for People connector
The connector lets the assistant you use work with your own Planner for People planner. This page shows how to connect it, how pairing works and what it can do.
What it does
With the connector, your assistant can read today’s context and your week, propose day plans for you to pick from, add and update projects and tasks, mark blocks done, re-plan the rest of a day, plan meals, record food and build grocery lists. The app has no AI rules of its own. It offers facts and accepts commands, and the assistant does the thinking in your conversation.
What you need
- The Planner for People app on your iPhone or Mac.
- An Apple ID.
- The “Claude connector” switch turned on in the app’s Settings.
Planner for People is in private development today. You can read more on the Planner for People page.
Connect your assistant
Every assistant uses the same connector address:
https://pfp-connector-151446722284.us-west1.run.app/mcp
Connect from Claude
In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and add a custom connector with the URL https://pfp-connector-151446722284.us-west1.run.app/mcp. Then follow the pairing steps.
Connect from ChatGPT
ChatGPT support is being added and is not yet verified.
In ChatGPT, add a custom connector with the URL https://pfp-connector-151446722284.us-west1.run.app/mcp. Then follow the pairing steps.
Connect from Grok
Grok support is being added and is not yet verified.
Go to grok.com/connectors, choose New Connector → Custom, and enter the URL https://pfp-connector-151446722284.us-west1.run.app/mcp. Then follow the pairing steps.
Pairing
When you add the connector, your assistant opens a consent page. It shows an 8-character code in the form XXXX-XXXX and these steps:
The consent page puts it in one line: Open Planner for People → Settings → Claude connector → enter this code → Link.
- Open Planner for People.
- Go to Settings → Claude connector.
- Enter this code.
- Press Link.
Then go back to the consent page and press “I entered the code”. The code expires in 10 minutes. If it runs out, start again for a fresh code.
One account on all your devices
Sign in with Apple in the app so all your devices share one account. It is optional but recommended. The app asks Apple for no name and no email.
Permissions
The connector offers three permission tiers.
| Tier | What it allows |
|---|---|
| Read | Look at everything: today, the week, projects, tasks, check-ins, meals and settings. |
| Propose | Offer day-plan options that you pick from. |
| Write | Change projects, tasks, plans, check-ins, the inbox, meals and groceries. |
Calendar (busy time and writing plan blocks to the app’s calendar) is available only through the Mac app’s local hub, not through the cloud connector.
Tools
As of 2026-10-23 the connector offers 37 tools. They cover these areas:
- Today and the week
- Projects and tasks
- Day plans and blocks
- Check-ins
- Inbox
- Meals
- Groceries
- Settings
The full table will be on the connector’s docs page. That page is being added.
Example prompts
- “What does my day look like, and what would you plan for the afternoon?”
- “Add a task to call the dentist, due Friday, low energy, about 15 minutes.”
- “Plan dinners for this week from my recipes and make the grocery list.”
- “I'm done with the first block; re-plan the rest of today from now.”
- “How did this week go?”
What the connector stores
While the app’s “Claude connector” switch is on, the connector keeps a copy of the planner records your app sends so it can answer your assistant. Turning the switch off ends your assistant’s access at once; the stored copy stays so that turning it back on works. Your conversation with the assistant is never stored. The privacy policy has the full details, including how to ask for your records to be deleted.
Troubleshooting
- “The code expired.” Start Connect again in your assistant to get a fresh code.
- “Not linked yet.” Type the code in the app and press Link, then press “I entered the code”.
- Still not working? Switch the connector off and on again in the app’s Settings. Turning it off ends your assistant’s access and makes its old link stop working. After you turn it back on, add the connector again (or re-authorise it) in your assistant and pair again with a fresh code.
- Nothing shows up? The app must have synced at least once. Open the app with the connector switched on and give it a moment.
If none of this helps, the support page says what to send us.
