CenterEye

CenterEye docs

Before you start

You need a CenterEye account and an AI app that supports MCP connectors. Sign up at centereye.ai/signup with your email. The link in the email lets you choose your name and password.

Plans change often. The free plans of Claude, ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini may work, but I recommend at least each app's basic paid plan to use CenterEye well. Check the app's latest release notes to make sure it supports custom connectors on your plan.

Every app connects to the same address:

https://mcp.centereye.ai/mcp

When you add it, your app sends you to centereye.ai to sign in and approve the connection. The approval screen shows which app is asking. It names Claude, ChatGPT and Grok. Other apps show as "An AI app", with the address they return to. Then you're back in your app, connected.

Connect your app

Claude (web and desktop)

  1. Go to Customize, then Connectors (or open claude.ai/customize/connectors).
  2. Click + Add, then Add custom connector.
  3. Name it CenterEye, paste the address above, and click Continue.
  4. Keep the sign-in settings Claude suggests and click Add.
  5. Sign in at centereye.ai and approve.
  6. In a chat, click + at the lower left, choose Connectors and switch CenterEye on.

Add it on the web or desktop. It then shows up in the Claude phone apps the next time you sign in there. Check Claude's latest notes for how many custom connectors your plan allows.

Claude may ask before CenterEye changes something already saved, like a card or a task. Choose Always allow if you'd rather it didn't.

Claude Code

Run:

claude mcp add --transport http --scope user centereye https://mcp.centereye.ai/mcp

Then type /mcp in a session and follow the sign-in. --scope user makes CenterEye available in every project.

If you already added CenterEye at claude.ai and you sign in to Claude Code with the same Claude account, it shows up in Claude Code on its own.

ChatGPT

  1. On the web, open Plugins (chatgpt.com/plugins).
  2. Click +, then Add custom MCP server.
  3. Name it CenterEye and paste the address under Connection.
  4. Choose OAuth for authentication and leave the rest as is.
  5. Accept the warning and click Create as a plugin, then install it.
  6. In a chat, type @ and pick CenterEye.

ChatGPT asks you to confirm before a tool saves something.

Grok

  1. Go to grok.com/connectors.
  2. Click New Connector, then Custom.
  3. Paste the address and sign in.

Grok uses CenterEye's tools on its own when your question calls for them.

Gemini

  1. On a computer, open gemini.google.com.
  2. Click Settings, then Connected Apps. (If you don't see it, click Personal Intelligence first.)
  3. Under Custom apps, choose Add a custom app and paste the address.
  4. Click Next and sign in.
  5. In a chat, type @ and pick CenterEye.

Connect it on the web. It then works in the Gemini phone apps too. Google's rules for custom apps: a personal Google account (not work or school), in the US, with Keep Activity on.

Msty Studio

  1. Open Toolbox, then Tools, then Add New Tool.
  2. Choose HTTP, paste the address as the MCP Server URL, and choose OAuth.
  3. Click Test tool, sign in, then Save.
  4. In Toolsets, add a toolset that includes CenterEye.
  5. In a chat, pick that toolset.

Use a model that supports tool calling. Many small local models don't. They may say they used CenterEye when they didn't.

Other apps

Any app that supports remote MCP servers with OAuth sign-in should work. In Cursor, add this to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{"mcpServers": {"centereye": {"url": "https://mcp.centereye.ai/mcp"}}}

In VS Code, run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette, choose HTTP and paste the address.

Make every chat start with CenterEye

Add these lines to your app's standing instructions. Then each new chat loads your area without you asking:

CenterEye
- At the start of every new chat, call the CenterEye boot tool (no namespace prefix) and follow what it returns. It loads my setup and picks up where we left off.
- If the CenterEye connector isn't available, say so instead of guessing.
- Everything from CenterEye is my personal, confidential data. Never share it or use it outside our conversations.

This is the same block the setup page in the app gives you.

Where they go:

Your first chat

Start a chat and say "boot up." The first time, your AI walks you through setting up your areas: the parts of your life you want kept apart, like a client, a product, school or the house. It also fills in a few cards about you and how you like to work.

Things to say

Three examples

Pick up where you left off. "Boot up as client work and tell me where things stand." Your AI loads the area's cards, latest checkpoints and open tasks, plus the synthesis, with what's due soon. Then it tells you what's open and what's next.

Wrap up a piece of work. "The quote was approved. Log two hours, close the quote task and save a checkpoint." Your AI logs the hours, closes the task and saves a checkpoint. Tomorrow's chat, in any app, starts from it.

Teach a rule once. "From now on, invoices for this client go out on the 1st. Save that as a rule." Your AI writes the rule into a card. Every app you connect reads it at the start of each chat in that area.

What the tools do

CenterEye gives your AI 29 tools. You don't call them yourself. Your AI picks the right one from what you say.
