Connect Claude Desktop to Omnido (MCP)
Some tasks you want to think through with Claude: draft a reply, plan the steps, judge a deadline. Omnido connects to Claude Desktop through a connector. “Connector” is what Claude calls a link to another app. You give Claude a task; Claude reads it with its sources, adds to the description and sets the status.
You need an Omnido account for this. Sign in to Omnido (opens in a new tab) ; a new account is created along the way with the login code sent by email; registration is open.
1. Copy the address in Omnido
Open Settings → “Omnido in other apps” and choose “Claude or ChatGPT”. Under “Which chat?” pick “Claude”, then “Copy the address”.
2. Add the connector in Claude
In Claude, open “Customize” → “Connectors”, tap “+” and choose “Add custom connector”. Name: Omnido, address: paste it. The connector belongs to your Claude account, so it also works in the browser and in the iPhone app.
According to Anthropic’s help (opens in a new tab) , custom connectors are available on every Claude plan, one on the free plan. In Team and Enterprise accounts an Owner adds the connector and members then connect (as of 12 November 2026).
3. Allow
Claude opens Omnido and asks “Allow access?”. Under “What may ‘Claude’ see?” choose:
- “Only shared tasks” (preselected): only tasks you give Claude, each for up to 24 hours. Nothing else from your account.
- “All tasks”: also read all tasks, including completed ones, plus categories, “About me”, settings and the list of your MCP servers. Even then Claude can change only the tasks you give it.
If you tick “Change About me”, Claude may also read and change your “About me” text. Then tap “Allow”. Claude now shows up under “Has access to Omnido”.
4. Give Claude a task
Open a task in Omnido, tap “More” → “Give to AI chat” and paste the text into your chat with Claude. With it Claude opens the task, reads the title, description and sources, and can:
- write text below the description. Claude never replaces it, and the new text starts with who wrote it and when.
- set the status: open, waiting or done. Done ends the share.
- set the period in which the task is due. Claude does not change an appointment.
If Claude does not use the copied text within 10 minutes, it expires. Claude does not create new tasks this way; for that, use Claude Code , Cursor or Codex .
Change or remove access
Under Settings → “Omnido in other apps” → “Has access to Omnido”, choose “Change” or “Remove” next to Claude. “Remove” takes effect at once; Claude then no longer sees the tasks you gave it. The connection stays as long as you use it at least every 30 days. In Claude, remove the connector under “Customize” → “Connectors”.
