# Your AI assistant can keep your journal with you Connect an AI assistant that works with connectors (the MCP standard), and it can read your journal and write in it when you ask: add a note to today, find the day you met someone, look back over a month. It is your own assistant, and it does only what you allow. We do not train AI on your journal, and we do not give it to anyone who would. ## What it may do You decide what it may do: read only or read and write, every journal or just some. Whatever it writes is marked as its own, and you can disconnect it at any time. A version of a day that an assistant wrote says which assistant wrote it, and any earlier version can be brought back. ## How to connect one Your journal is an MCP server at this address: `https://ohmylife.app/mcp` - In your assistant, add a custom connector and give it that address. - It sends you to a page on ohmylife. Sign in there if you are not signed in. - Choose what it may do: read only or read and write, every journal or just some. Then allow it. Nothing is shared before you say so. The same address is in your journal's Settings, with the list of assistants you have connected. ## In Claude Anthropic's instructions for Claude are: open Customize, then Connectors; choose "+ Add", then "Add custom connector"; give it the address above and continue; then sign in when Claude asks. Anthropic lists this for its Free, Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans, and says "Free users are limited to one custom connector." On a Team or Enterprise plan an owner adds it first. ([Anthropic's help page](https://support.claude.com/en/articles/11175166-get-started-with-custom-connectors-using-remote-mcp)) ## In ChatGPT and others ChatGPT can add a custom MCP server too. OpenAI decides which of its plans may add one and what it may then do, so check its page for the rule as it stands today. ([OpenAI's help page](https://help.openai.com/en/articles/12584461-connecting-custom-mcp-servers-in-chatgpt)) Any other assistant that can add a remote MCP server with sign-in connects the same way: give it the address, and decide on the page it sends you to. ## What you should know first If you connect an assistant, what it reads leaves ohmylife and goes to whoever makes that assistant. We give it only to assistants you have allowed, only from the journals you allowed, and only while they stay connected. What the assistant's maker then does with it is theirs to answer for, not ours, so read their terms before you connect one. Disconnecting an assistant stops it at once; it does not take back what it has already read. An assistant can find days by the words in them, so it can read any day in the journals you let it use. [The privacy page](/privacy/) says the rest. ## What it costs Nothing. Connecting an assistant is part of the free journal. [The pricing page](/pricing/) lists what is included. ## Questions people ask ### What is MCP? The Model Context Protocol: a standard way for an AI assistant to connect to another service, with your permission. Your ohmylife journal is an MCP server, so an assistant that supports connectors can use it. ### Can it read my whole journal? Only the journals you allow. Within those it can read any day, and it can find days by the words in them. ### Can I let it read but not write? Yes. You choose read only or read and write when you connect it. ### How do I know what it wrote? Whatever it writes is marked as its own. Each version of a day shows when it was written, how, and whether you or your assistant wrote it, and any earlier version can be brought back. ### How do I stop it? Disconnect it at any time. Disconnecting an assistant stops it at once; it does not take back what it has already read. ### Does ohmylife train AI on my journal? No. We do not train AI on your journal, and we do not give it to anyone who would. ### Who do I ask if it does not connect? Write to hello@ohmylife.app. Last changed 13 November 2026.
