Connect Little Monk to ChatGPT

Add Little Monk to ChatGPT as a custom MCP server.

You need

  • A ChatGPT plan that allows custom MCP servers (developer mode or a workspace that allows custom apps).
  • Little Monk Pro on your Little Monk account.
  1. 1.Open the add-server screen

    In ChatGPT, open Settings, find the section for apps, connectors or plugins, and choose the option to add a custom MCP server. ChatGPT renames these menus from time to time; the steps stay the same.

  2. 2.Add the server

    Name it Little Monk, paste this URL and choose OAuth for authentication.

    https://app.littlemonk.app/mcp
  3. 3.Sign in and allow

    Sign in with your Little Monk email and password and choose Allow.

  4. 4.Use it

    Start a chat, turn Little Monk on, and ask about your day or add tasks. After Little Monk adds new tools, refresh the server in ChatGPT's settings so it sees them.

ChatGPT can also use Little Monk's search and fetch tools to look through your tasks and captures.

Try asking

  • What's on my plan today, and what's still waiting in Unscheduled?
  • Add “call the library” tomorrow at 10am for 20 minutes.
  • Plan 90 minutes of deep work on the release notes tomorrow morning.
  • Find my captures about the release and sum them up in three lines.
  • How did today go? Compare planned and actual time for my deep work.

Use it with your other connectors

If ChatGPT also has one of these services connected, it can read from it and plan in Little Monk in the same chat. Each prompt needs that connector turned on.

  • GmailLook at my starred Gmail threads from today. For each one I still need to act on, add an Unscheduled task in Little Monk named after the sender and the topic, with a link to the thread in the notes. Show me the list before you add anything.
  • Google CalendarCheck my Google Calendar for tomorrow, then plan two deep-work sessions of at least 60 minutes in Little Monk in the gaps between my meetings, for the two most important tasks waiting in Unscheduled. Ask me before you save.
  • LinearFind my highest-priority open Linear issue and plan 90 minutes of deep work on it in Little Monk tomorrow morning, at a time that doesn't overlap anything already planned. Use the issue title for the task and put the issue link in its notes.
  • GitHubList the pull requests waiting for my review on GitHub and add each one as an Unscheduled task in Little Monk tagged #review, with the pull request link in the notes. Skip any that are already in Little Monk.
  • SlackFind Slack messages from today where someone asked me to do something, and add each one as an Unscheduled task in Little Monk with a link to the message in the notes. Show me the list before you add anything.
  • NotionRead my Notion page with this week's priorities and save its main points as one Note in Little Monk, tagged #weekly, with the page title as the source.

Server address

https://app.littlemonk.app/mcp

Sign-in uses your Little Monk email and password. There is no API key to copy. Using Little Monk with an assistant needs Little Monk Pro.

What an assistant can do

  • Read your day: the timeline, deep work, what waits in Unscheduled, and what's planned tomorrow.
  • Find tasks, deep-work sessions and captures, and open any one in full.
  • Add and edit tasks with times, lengths, alerts, notes, checklists, tags and repeats.
  • Mark tasks done or reopen them, only when you ask.
  • Plan, move or take off the timeline a deep-work session.
  • Save and edit notes, quotes, highlights, links and ideas. An idea keeps the words of the captures it was built from.
  • Delete tasks, sessions and captures, with the same protections as the app.

What it can’t do

  • Start, pause or end a timer, or review a session.
  • Complete a task on its own: completion is always your explicit choice.
  • Delete a session's recorded time or review unless you confirm it.
  • See anyone else's library.

Your data

An assistant reads only what it asks Little Monk for while you use it, and what it reads becomes part of that conversation with the assistant’s provider. Changes it makes are saved to your Little Monk cloud library; your iPhone, iPad and Mac pick them up when they next sync. You can disconnect an assistant at any time in Account.
