Assistants (MCP)

Assistants (MCP)

Let AI apps on your Mac, like Claude, Claude Code and Codex, read your plan and, if you allow it, plan and change it for you.

This content is not available in your language yet.

Bunplan on the Mac includes its own MCP server. Ask Claude to "plan my statistics final over the next three weeks", and it can create the project, its sections, and dated tasks with steps. With iCloud sync, the plan is on your iPhone a moment later.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI apps use tools in other apps. Bunplan's server runs on your Mac, inside the Bunplan app. There's no account to connect and no Bunplan server online.

What you need

  • Bunplan on a Mac, with macOS 26 or later.
  • Bunplan Plus, or the free trial.
  • An AI app on the same Mac that supports MCP.
  • Access turned on in Bunplan → Settings → Assistants. It's off until you turn it on.

What you can ask

Anything you can do to your plan by hand, an assistant can do too, once you choose Read & write.

  • "Plan my statistics final in Bunplan. It's on December 12, and I can work weekday evenings."
  • "What's left on my thesis this week?"
  • "Move everything from yesterday that I didn't finish to Thursday."
  • "Start the timer on my next task."
  • "How much time did I spend on the portfolio last week?"

Bunplan also offers four ready-made prompts: Plan a project, Plan my day, Weekly review and Catch up.

How it stays safe

  • Off until you allow it. You choose Off, Read only or Read & write, and only you can change it, in the app.
  • Every change can be undone. Each change an assistant makes is listed in Settings → Assistants, with Undo.
  • Your data stays yours. Bunplan itself sends nothing anywhere. The AI app you connect sends what it reads to its own service, under its own terms.
  • Some things are off limits. Assistants can't change access, iCloud sync or Plus, erase your data, or import or export backups.
