Use Sous from Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini

Anything you'd do on the dashboard or by text, in your own words:

• “What's for dinner this week?”
• “Swap Thursday for something under 30 minutes.”
• “Move the salmon to Friday,” or “undo that.”
• “Add oat milk and paper towels to the list.”
• “We're going dairy-free.”
• “Is Sous waiting on anything from me?”

Sous's address is https://textsous.com/api/mcp. Add it to your assistant:

• Claude: Customize → Connectors → Add custom connector, then paste the address. Or use the button below, which fills it in for you. Add it on the web or in the desktop app and it's there in the phone app too; Claude's Free plan allows one custom connector.
• ChatGPT: on the web, Plugins → + → Add custom MCP server (Plugins is in the sidebar). Name it Sous, paste the address and choose OAuth, not “OAuth or no authentication”: Sous needs the sign-in from the start. Confirm the warning, then choose Create as a plugin. ChatGPT sends you to Sous to sign in and reads Sous's tools; install the plugin, then in a chat type @ and pick Sous. ChatGPT's Free and Go plans don't include this.
• Gemini: on the web, Customize → Connectors → Custom apps → Add a custom app, then paste the address. Google offers custom apps to personal Google accounts in the US, for people 18 and over, in English, with Keep Activity turned on; add it on the web and it works in the Gemini app on your phone as well.
• Muse (Meta): in any Muse chat, ask Muse to create a Custom Connector: paste the message below. Muse replies with a link to sign in to Sous. Muse is available in the US, Canada and Japan, for people 18 and over.
• Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http sous https://textsous.com/api/mcp, then /mcp to sign in.
• Gemini CLI: add Sous under mcpServers in your settings.json ("sous": { "httpUrl": "https://textsous.com/api/mcp" }), then run /mcp auth sous.

The message for Muse:

Create a Custom Connector for a new remote MCP server, then connect to it:
Name: Sous
Transport: remote streamable HTTP
URL: https://textsous.com/api/mcp
Auth: OAuth

When you connect (or, with some assistants, the first time one needs your household), your browser opens Sous. Sign in, or create an account right there; a phone number is optional. Then approve the connection. The approval screen names the assistant and says what it is asking for: to read your household's week, grocery list, preferences and notes, and usually to change them too. You'll see it each time you connect, and again about every two months.

New to Sous? Your assistant can give Sous your four setup answers in one go (who you're cooking for, any allergies or dietary needs, which meals to plan, and your planning day), and Sous starts planning from your next meal.

• Your week, grocery list, preferences and notes, and the changes you ask for. Sous checks every change the way it checks one you make on the dashboard: if the week changed since your assistant last looked, the change is refused rather than overwriting it, and a dish that clashes with an allergy or diet your household has told Sous about is refused even when your assistant suggests it.
• Calendars: the events Sous plans around from your own calendars, and from a partner's only as much as they share with you.
• Some things stay on the web: connecting calendars, choosing which ones Sous reads and what your partner sees of them, billing, inviting your partner, and your phone number.

Connecting an assistant doesn't change how Sous reaches you. On Texts, Sous still texts your week at your planning time. In Quiet mode it never texts: it builds the week from your calendar, emails you when it's ready, and you review it in your assistant or on the dashboard. Sous can't start a conversation inside your assistant, so ask now and then: “is Sous waiting on anything from me?”

Preferences → Connected apps lists each assistant you've connected, with a Disconnect button that takes effect on its very next request. Removing Sous in the assistant's own settings may not tell Sous, so use Disconnect in Sous as well.

Sous only sees what your assistant sends it, never the rest of your conversation. What your assistant reads from Sous is also covered by its provider's privacy policy; ours is here.
