Housekeeper Assist · AI access

Ask your AI assistant about your household

Connect Claude (or another AI assistant) to your Housekeeper Assist account. Then just ask: who finished their tasks today, what's overdue, what your helpers need, what's for dinner. You can also have it add a one-off task for a helper.

The address to connect

https://mcp.housekeeperassist.com/mcp

You only need this address and your normal Housekeeper Assist sign-in. Use the account you manage your household with. Helper accounts can't connect.

Connect Claude claude.ai, desktop & mobile

In Claude, open Settings → Connectors and choose Add custom connector.
Name it Housekeeper Assist, paste the address above and click Add, then Connect.
Claude opens Housekeeper Assist. Sign in the way you always do (email or Google).
Check the request. It shows which app is asking and what it will be able to see. If you want Claude to be able to add tasks for your helpers, tick Also allow it to create one-off tasks. Then click Approve.
You're sent back to Claude, and it's connected. In a new chat, ask "Give me an overview of my household".

Only approve a request that you started yourself, a moment ago, from your AI app. If a request turns up that you didn't start, click Deny.

Claude Code, scripts and other AI apps

For an app that can't open a sign-in page, use an access token instead.

In Housekeeper Assist → Integrations → AI access, click Create access token.
Give it a name (for example "Claude Code on my laptop") and choose how long it lasts. Only tick task creation if you need it.

Copy the token straight away. It is shown only once. For Claude Code, the page also gives you the command to copy:

claude mcp add --transport http housekeeperassist https://mcp.housekeeperassist.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer hkp_…"

In other apps, add a remote MCP server (Streamable HTTP) with the address above. Either sign in when asked, or send the header Authorization: Bearer <your token>.

Keep the token private, like a password. Anyone who has it can see your household's information.

What it can and can't do

It can see

Your helpers, their work days and when they last used the app
Routines and the tasks in them
Progress by helper and day: done, in progress, overdue, cancelled
Needs attention reports: issues, purchase requests and questions
Recipes and the meal plan
The photo gallery, and photos on tasks and reports

It can do (only if you allow it)

Add a one-off task for one helper, up to 30 days ahead
Up to 25 of these tasks a day

The task appears in the helper's app like any other. Claude should check the helper, the time and the task with you first.

It can't

Change or delete routines, helpers or recipes
Reply to or close reports
Change settings, billing or your family members
See any other household

All of that stays in the Housekeeper Assist app.

Things to ask

Give me an overview of today
What's overdue right now?
How did Maria do this week?
What's in the kitchen routine?
Any open purchase requests?
What's on the meal plan this week?
Which recipes are vegetarian and under 30 minutes?
Show me the latest gallery photos
Add a task for Ana tomorrow at 10:00: clean the windows, 45 minutes

Stay in control

See every connection: Integrations → AI access lists each connected app and token, with when it was last used.
Disconnect any time: click Disconnect and it loses access straight away.
Connections renew themselves: a connected app stays signed in until you disconnect it. Access tokens stop working on the date you chose.
Your password stays with Housekeeper Assist: you only sign in on Housekeeper Assist's own page. Claude and other AI apps never see your password.
Every request is logged against the connection that made it.

Your helpers write the reports and comments that the assistant reads. Treat them as information from your helpers. If a report seems to ask the assistant to do something unusual, check with the helper.

Problems?

"This request has expired or was already answered"

An approval request lasts 10 minutes and can only be answered once. Go back to your AI app and connect again.

Claude says to reconnect Housekeeper Assist

The connection was disconnected, the token expired, or the account was disabled. Connect again from Claude's connector settings, or create a new access token.

"This connection does not have permission to create tasks"

Task creation wasn't allowed when you connected. Disconnect it in Integrations, then connect again and tick Also allow it to create one-off tasks.

"This helper has no routine"

A helper needs a routine before tasks can be added for them. Assign one in the app under Routines.

I signed in with a helper account and it was refused

That's on purpose. Only the household's own account, and its family members, can connect an AI assistant.

"Too many calls" or "Daily limit reached"

Each connection can make 120 requests a minute, and add 25 tasks a day. Wait a moment, or add the extra tasks in the app.
