How to Connect AimYear to ChatGPT and Claude

The address you'll paste everywhere:

https://mcp.aimyear.com/mcp

ChatGPT

Custom connectors need a paid ChatGPT plan (Plus or Pro). On Business and Enterprise, an admin may need to allow them first.

1. Open Settings → Apps & Connectors → Advanced settings and turn on Developer mode. If you don't see it there, look under Settings → Security; ChatGPT has moved this switch before.
2. Back in Apps & Connectors, press Create.
3. Fill in:
   • Name: AimYear
   • Description: My yearly aim, daily plan and work timer
   • MCP server URL: https://mcp.aimyear.com/mcp
   • Authentication: OAuth
4. Tick I trust this application and press Create.
5. The AimYear sign-in page opens. Sign in with Google, Apple or email.
6. In a new chat, open + → Developer mode and choose AimYear.

ChatGPT asks you to confirm each action that changes something, such as saving a plan or starting the timer.

Claude (web, desktop, mobile)

Works on every Claude plan. On the free plan you can add one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise, an owner adds it for the organization.

1. On claude.ai or in the desktop app, open Settings → Connectors.
2. Press Add custom connector.
3. Name it AimYear and paste https://mcp.aimyear.com/mcp as the URL. Leave the advanced settings empty.
4. Press Add, then Connect, and sign in on the AimYear page.
5. In a chat, open the tools menu under the message box and check that AimYear is on.

Once added on the web or desktop, the connector also works in the Claude mobile app.

Claude Code

1. In a terminal, run:
   claude mcp add --transport http aimyear https://mcp.aimyear.com/mcp
2. Start Claude Code, type /mcp, choose aimyear and Authenticate.
3. Sign in on the page that opens in your browser.

Add --scope user to the command to have AimYear in every project, not only the current folder.

Other MCP clients

Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf and other clients that support remote MCP servers: add a remote server with transport Streamable HTTP and the URL https://mcp.aimyear.com/mcp. Sign-in is OAuth with automatic client registration, so you don't need an API key.

What to say first

• "Help me set my aim for this year." The agent checks that the aim has a number and a date, then builds the stages toward it.
• "Plan my day." One main step toward the aim, then everything else.
• "Start the timer" and "stop it, I finished the draft" while you work.
• "How was my week?" Where the time really went.

If something goes wrong

• You see someone else's aim, or none at all. You probably signed in with a different account. Disconnect AimYear in the app's connector settings, connect again and pick the account you used before.
• ChatGPT talks about an old aim right after you connected a new account. That comes from ChatGPT's own memory of earlier chats, not from AimYear. Start a temporary chat, or tell it to read your aim from AimYear again.
• The sign-in window closes or shows an error. Allow pop-ups for the app and try again. If it keeps failing, write to support with a screenshot.
