How the connection works
A compatible AI client discovers Tidyboard's protected MCP resource, opens Cognito sign-in, receives a scoped access token, and sends that token with MCP tool calls. Tidyboard resolves the signed-in identity and applies normal household permissions.
Choose your client
Use the ChatGPT instructions for a ChatGPT connector or developer-mode MCP client. Use the Claude instructions for a Claude custom connector or MCP client. Exact labels can vary as those products evolve.
- Confirm your client supports remote HTTPS MCP and OAuth.
- Use the public Tidyboard API base URL supplied by your administrator.
- Complete sign-in as yourself.
- Test with a read-only question before requesting a change.
Permission and safety boundaries
OAuth authentication does not grant more access than the signed-in Tidyboard user already has. Review mutation proposals and disconnect access when it is no longer needed.
