Connect Griply to an AI chat agent and pull your life area, goals, and tasks into the conversation to map out your strategy, create new goals and break down goals into tasks.
Griply already has something many tools don’t: it feels designed around life planning, not just task management. That is exactly why API / MCP support would be so valuable.
With API or MCP access, Griply could become the central system for:
AI-assisted weekly reviews
turning reflections, notes, emails, or chats into structured tasks
goal and habit support through external tools
smarter prioritization and planning workflows
This would help users commit more deeply to Griply because it would allow Griply to stay the main source of truth while still working with modern AI tools like Claude.
Even a lightweight first version would be enough to unlock a lot of value:
personal API key
CRUD for tasks and subtasks
read/update for habits
basic read access to goals, lists, due dates, and statuses
This is one of the main features that would make me much more confident in building my full life-planning system in Griply.

I came here to say the same. Because of Griply’s unusual focus on the full spectrum of life goals down to habits, it’s better suited to the best uses of Claude than any other productivity app I can think of.
Even using a less ideal app to connect with via Claude, I’m finding the quarterly planning and weekly reviews possible with AI assistance to be remarkable. But having a single source where Claude (in my case) can follow up, talk with me about how well what we’d planned has worked, offer insights and make adjustments, and easily access rich goals would be priceless.
So glad this is gaining some interest here!!

Recently there’s been a shift in thinking about MCP servers in AI, and simple APIs or CLIs with optional skills have proven to be more useful than MCP servers in most cases. MCP Servers take up a permanent chunk of the context window and don’t seem to offer anything over a traditional API/CLI which LLMs are good at using anyways. So i would request this to be a just a web API, optionally a CLI (or community can build this on top of API) which can be used both by AI and other programs.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention Marsh. Definitely good to know. We’ll investigate this further when we start with the project.

There is also this feature request regarding APIs.
I hope this will not be buried in the backlog because “we have MCP and that’s similar” :)

Please I cant use Griply in my projects without API or MCP , please release this ASAP a lot of people will appreciate it.
Thanks

Agreed. MCPs are pretty bloated. They work, but you can typically get away with something a lot lighter weight and get the same value. API/CLI is a great idea.
I had to create a work-around CLI for Griply using browser automation. It works great but has to be updated every time the web site changes.

As one who’s been pulling for an MCP, I’d be glad to have this solution instead if it just allows me to access the full feature set of Griply through my LLM of choice, including Apple’s when it finally lands!

TLDR; I do all my work with AI, and AI not being able to interact with my tasks/goals is my number one pain point.
I do almost all of my work with Claude and constantly bottlenecked by Claude's inability to access my goals and tasks.
Hopefully is the perfect system when I want to interact with my goals and tasks. So I'm still using it,
But to be honest, I mostly want to only use it while planning and then just ask the AI what I'm supposed to do next and have it start working on some of it while I work on others.
I've had to create a system where Claude opens Gripley and takes screenshots, which is slow and uses a lot of usage on my account.

Just with MCP connection and that’s enough of anything AI. Please do not add any AI related to the platform please, dont go down hill with AI like other productivity platform. Griply is great on its own.

I’m not sure if it would be and MCP or API that would be needed for this but…
I'd love to be able to integrate Griply and qualified-self application data (Oura ring, Apple Health, ScreenTimerAI etc) into agents so that I analyse how my behaviours effect performance.
For example, get answers to questions such as:
How does my average Oura Readiness Score correlate with my total task completion?
Which subjective hidden variable (e.g., morning sunlight, alcohol) has the highest mathematical correlation with increased productivity?
On weeks where I hit my Apple Health workout goals 3 times, what is my average number of completed tasks compared to inactive weeks?

Can the MCP server also allow the ai chat agent to prioritize tasks based on a rubric set by the user?

Oh boy, I am really missing this one. Used to do my weekly Reviews in Claude and it was super-convenient to have the AI both read and write to the task system, prioritizing the important outcomes from the review process automatically for me. Please get to this as soon as possible.

I was thrilled to see the status change on this proposal. Keep it up! I hope it opens up a ton of new possibilities. I recently bought the Lifetime subscription, and this proves my vote of confidence was well-founded.

I’m probably gonna cancel if I don’t get a mcp or api soon.
