Connect Little Monk to Claude Code

Use your Little Monk plan from Claude Code in the terminal.

You need

  • Claude Code installed.
  • Little Monk Pro on your Little Monk account.
  1. 1.Install the plugin

    Run this once in a terminal. It adds the Little Monk server and a skill that teaches Claude Code how Little Monk works.

    claude plugin marketplace add sebinthomas92/little-monk-mcp && claude plugin install little-monk@little-monk
  2. 2.Sign in

    Start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose plugin:little-monk:little-monk and Authenticate. Your browser opens; sign in with your Little Monk email and password and choose Allow.

  3. 3.Use it

    Ask about your plan or add tasks. A few things to try are below.

Prefer the server without the plugin? Run claude mcp add --transport http --scope user little-monk https://app.littlemonk.app/mcp instead, then sign in the same way and choose little-monk in /mcp.

Prefer to let Claude Code do it? Copy the setup prompt on the Connect page and paste it into Claude Code instead.

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 Claude Code 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.
