MCP & AI
Use Crub from your AI
Connect Claude, ChatGPT or another assistant that speaks the Model Context Protocol to Crub. It signs in as you, and does what your account can do.
Connect
Three steps
Add the server
In your assistant's connectors or integrations, add https://mcp.crub.ai/mcp.
Sign in
Your assistant opens Crub's sign-in. Allow it, and it can work with your account — nothing more than you can.
Ask
“identify this plant from a photo” · “what jobs are due in my garden this week” · “record a soil reading”
