Connect AI Assistants

Connect OneHaus to the AI assistant you already use, and run your household in plain language. Ask what is on this week, add to the shopping list, or reschedule an event, without opening the app.

Once connected, your assistant can see and update your OneHaus household on your behalf, with your permission and your sign in. This is the same household you use in the OneHaus app, so a change made from your assistant shows up in the app and the other way round.

OneHaus Pro. Connecting an outside assistant is part of OneHaus Pro. Every new household starts with a free 30 day trial. See Plans & Subscription for what's included.

What you can do

After you connect, you can ask your assistant to help with everyday household admin, for example:

  • Tasks and chores: "What is due today?", "Add take out the bins to my list", "Mark the school forms task as done", "Assign the dishwasher to Sam." Recurring chores work too: "Set the bins to go out every Tuesday."
  • Calendar and events: "What is on this weekend?", "Add dentist on Thursday at 3pm", "Move the parents evening to next week."
  • Shopping lists: "What is on the Shopping list?", "Add milk, eggs and coffee", "Start a Baby list", "Mark bread as bought." A household can keep several named lists; the default one is called Shopping.
  • Meal plans and recipes: "What are we eating on Thursday?", "Save this curry recipe", "Plan the week from what we already have."
  • House review: "What needs attention in the house?", "Skip that one, we do not have a car any more."
  • Memory: "Remember that the bins go out Tuesday night", "What do you know about our routines?"
  • Contacts: "What is the plumber's number?", "Save our new babysitter's details."
  • Pets: "When is the dog due for worming?", "Add a vet visit for the cat."
  • Vehicles: "When is the car's MOT?", "Log that I serviced the car today."
  • Appliances: "What is the model of our washing machine?", "Save the new fridge with its warranty date."
  • Documents: "Where did I save the house insurance?", "Add a note for the boiler manual." Files are attached in the app, not from your assistant.
  • Subscriptions: "What subscriptions do we pay for?", "Add the streaming plan we just signed up to."
  • Weather: "What is the forecast for the weekend?"
  • Your household at a glance: "Who is in our household?", "Give me a summary of what needs attention."

How connecting works

Connecting needs your OneHaus account and this server address.

https://mcp.onehaus.app

Add that address to your assistant as a custom or remote MCP connector, then sign in with your OneHaus account when prompted and approve access. Your assistant opens the sign in page itself. You never paste a password or a key into it.

Set up a OneHaus account in the OneHaus app first. Every step below assumes one.

ChatGPT

  1. In ChatGPT, open Settings, then go to Connectors (you may find this under Apps or a similar heading).
  2. Choose to add a custom connector or add a remote MCP server.
  3. Give it a name, for example OneHaus, and for the server URL enter https://mcp.onehaus.app.
  4. Confirm to add it, then sign in with your OneHaus account in the window that opens and approve access.

Custom connectors are a paid ChatGPT feature, and on some plans you need to turn on developer mode to add your own. To disconnect later, open Settings > Connectors, find OneHaus, and remove it.

Claude (web and desktop)

  1. In Claude, open Settings and go to Connectors.
  2. Choose Add custom connector, give it a name, for example OneHaus, and enter the server address https://mcp.onehaus.app.
  3. Confirm, then sign in with your OneHaus account in the window that opens and approve access.

Adding connectors is available on paid Claude plans. Using the Claude Code terminal instead? See the section below.

Claude Code

Claude Code speaks MCP natively. Run this once in your terminal:

claude mcp add --transport http onehaus https://mcp.onehaus.app

By default that adds OneHaus to the current project. To make it available everywhere, add the user scope:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user onehaus https://mcp.onehaus.app

Then start Claude Code, run /mcp, select onehaus, and choose to authenticate. Your browser opens a OneHaus sign in page; sign in and approve access. If you added it to the wrong scope, remove it with claude mcp remove onehaus and add it again.

Cursor and other MCP tools

OneHaus works with any AI assistant that can connect to a remote MCP server. In Cursor, open Settings, go to the MCP (or Tools) section, and add a new server, either through the in-app form with the URL above or by editing your MCP config file directly:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "onehaus": {
      "url": "https://mcp.onehaus.app"
    }
  }
}

For any other MCP-capable assistant, find where it adds a custom or remote MCP server, enter https://mcp.onehaus.app, then sign in and approve access.

What OneHaus does not add

OneHaus gives your assistant tools and nothing else. There are no OneHaus prompts, slash commands or personas to pick from a menu. Ask in your own words and the assistant chooses the tool.

Permissions

Your assistant asks for permission to read your household so it can answer questions, and to change it so it can add, update and complete things when you ask.

Your assistant only ever acts on the household tied to your OneHaus sign in, and most assistants ask before they make a change.

Managing access

Remove the OneHaus connector in your assistant's settings to disconnect. Until you do, your assistant can do exactly what your OneHaus account can do, in the household you belong to.

Troubleshooting

  • The connector option is missing. Custom connectors usually need a supported paid plan, and some assistants require turning on a developer or advanced mode first.
  • Sign in does not finish. Confirm you can sign in to the OneHaus app with the same account, then try connecting again.
  • Connected but no OneHaus actions appear. Make sure the OneHaus connector is turned on for your current chat.

If none of that helps, Support will want to know which assistant you are using.
