Your apps. Your AI agents.
Bring your notes, writing, and tasks into Claude or Codex. Choose an app below to see what its MCP connection can do and how to set it up.
A connection to the work you already have.
MCP lets an AI agent use tools in another app. Protomota's app connections run locally on your Mac. You enable access in the app, connect your desktop agent, and decide what to ask it to do.
Current availability: Jotley, Inkspring, and OpenTalon MCP integrations are in Mac preview. Use an MCP-enabled preview build; a general app download may not yet include these controls. Inkspring and OpenTalon are coming soon. PulseCanvas MCP is in development.
Jotley
Find notes, pull in transcripts, and organize the next step.
Search and read notes, work with transcripts and summaries, and organize folders and tags. Choose Read only or Read & write in Jotley. The MCP connection is a Mac feature; it can work with notes already available in the Mac library.
Try asking: “Find my notes about launch planning and turn the action items into a checklist. Keep the transcripts unchanged.”
Connect with Claude Code
- Open the MCP-enabled Mac preview of Jotley. In Settings, find its agent connection or MCP integration and enable access.
- Choose Claude Code app, then Save project connection. Pick the working folder you will use in Claude.
- Open the Claude desktop app, choose the Code tab, and start a local session on This computer in that same folder.
- Review the project MCP trust prompt, then check the session's Connectors panel for Jotley. Start a new session if the folder was already open.
- Ask your agent to list the app's available tools and make a read-only request first.
Claude chat uses a separate local desktop extension. Where the app provides Save Claude extension, export it and install it through Claude's desktop extension settings. A remote connector URL field cannot reach a local Mac app.
Connect with Codex
- In Jotley's agent settings, choose Codex app.
- Open Settings → MCP servers → Add server in the Codex desktop app. Enter jotley as the name and choose STDIO.
- Use the app's Copy buttons to copy the Command, each Argument, and any displayed environment variables into the corresponding fields. Paste each argument separately and leave off shell quotes.
- Jotley uses its own executable with the argument
--mcp-stdio. Leave environment variables empty; there is no separate runtime to install. - Choose Save, restart the connection, then start a local chat. Type /mcp and check that Jotley is connected.
Moving the app can change its launch path. If you move it, copy the current setup fields again. Some desktop versions display the ChatGPT name for this Codex experience.
Inkspring
Work with ideas, research, and drafts in your writing studio.
Read project context and save or edit local drafts. Agent access is read and write. Keep Let agents post right away off unless you intend to allow immediate posting. Agents can still schedule posts, so explicitly request drafts only when that is what you want.
Try asking: “Use my project references to prepare an unpublished newsletter draft. Do not schedule or publish anything.”

OpenTalon
Read your board, update tasks, and keep progress in one place.
Read and update boards, tasks, priorities, and due dates. Tasks stay manual until you choose to send one to an agent. Connected agents can access all boards; comments and completion evidence stay attached to their tasks. OpenTalon is coming soon.
Try asking: “List my boards and tasks. Help me choose the next task, and ask before changing anything.”

PulseCanvas Studio
An agent connection for your visualizer and video workflow.

Your data and permissions.
App storage stays local or follows the app's existing sync settings. Text retrieved by a connected agent may be sent to that agent's AI provider. A local MCP connection does not make private app data publicly accessible on the web.
Review tool approvals before allowing changes. Start with reading; use a disposable item when testing writes. Some tools can delete data, publish, schedule, or dispatch paid agent work, depending on the app and permissions. Turn agent access off in the app to revoke it.
