How to Connect xTiles to Other AI Tools

Connect xTiles to any AI tool that supports MCP — one URL, one authorization, no API keys.

xTiles works with any AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol). One URL, one authorization, and your assistant can read your planner, create pages, and manage tasks — without leaving the chat.

Already using Claude or ChatGPT? Those have step-by-step guides:


What you need

  1. An xTiles account. Free or paid, both work.

  2. Your xTiles MCP URL: mcp.xtiles.app/mcp

That's the whole setup. The URL is the same for every tool and every account — authorization happens in your browser, so there's no API key to copy or store anywhere.


How to connect

Step 1: Open your tool's MCP settings

Every MCP client puts this in one of two places:

  • A Connectors, Integrations, or MCP screen in settings

  • A JSON or TOML config file

If you're not sure which, search your tool's docs for "custom MCP server" or "remote MCP server."

Step 2: Add xTiles as a server

If your tool gives you a form, fill in:

If your tool uses a config file, paste this and replace the key names if your tool expects different ones:

{

"mcpServers": {

"xtiles": {

"url": "https://mcp.xtiles.app/mcp"

}

}

}

Save, then restart the tool if it asks you to.

Step 3: Authorize

Your browser opens the xTiles authorization page. Sign in and click Allow access.

You only do this once. After that the connection stays active.

Step 4: Try your first prompt

Ask your assistant:

"Tell me what I can do with the xTiles MCP connector, then show me my planner for today."

If it lists available tools and returns your planner, you're connected.


Where this works today

We've tested xTiles MCP in these tools:

ChatGPT — Chat, Cowork

Claude — Chat, Code, Cowork

OpenClaw - Skill

Anything else, try it yourself. The same URL works in any tool that supports remote MCP servers, and setup is one link plus one authorization — a couple of minutes to find out.

Skip the setup: run a skill instead

Connecting gives your assistant access. Skills tell it what to do with that access.

A skill is a plain instruction file at a public URL. Instead of writing a prompt, hand your assistant the link:

It fetches the instructions and runs them — the same way every time, in any tool where xTiles MCP is connected.

Four skills are live at xtiles.app/en/skills:

  • Daily Brief — pulls today's meetings, messages, and open items from Slack, Gmail, and Calendar into a morning tile on your Daily page.

  • Evening Reflection — reviews what actually happened, writes a day-summary tile, and seeds up to three actions for tomorrow.

  • Weekly Review — turns Monday-to-today activity into three tiles on your Weekly page: recap, activity, next week.

  • Today News — searches the live web on your topics and writes a source-linked digest to your Daily page.

Each skill page lists what it needs. Most want Slack, Gmail, or Google Calendar connected alongside xTiles — connect them when your assistant asks, or skip and the skill works with less.

Building an agent? The full catalog is machine-readable at xtiles.app/en/skills/index.md. Fetch the index, pick a skill, fetch its file, follow it.


Troubleshooting

My tool doesn't accept the URL.

Check that it supports remote MCP servers over HTTP. Some clients only run local servers and can't connect to a hosted one.

Authorization didn't finish.

Look for "Disconnect" or "Clear authentication" in your tool's MCP settings, remove xTiles, then add it again.

It connects but sees nothing.

Confirm you signed in to the right xTiles account during authorization.

It worked yesterday, not today.

Restart your tool. Some clients only load MCP config at startup.


FAQ

Which plan do I need?

MCP works on all xTiles plans. Free accounts have some limitations. Learn more on the pricing page.

Can I connect more than one tool?
Yes. Several tools can point at the same workspace.

How do I disconnect?
Remove the xTiles server in your AI tool's MCP settings. That's where the connection lives, so that's where you end it.

Is my data safe?
Your assistant only gets what your xTiles account can already see. Nothing is shared with other users.
