Use Intellist with Claude and ChatGPT

The Intellist connector lets Claude or ChatGPT read and update your Intellist lists while you chat. Ask what's on your grocery list, add the things you just remembered, check items off, or find which bin the spare charger is in. Changes sync to the Intellist app on your iPhone.

Set it up What it can and can't do

I used two AA batteries. Update the count in my garage inventory.

Done. AA batteries in Garage went from 8 to 6.

update_itemGarage · AA batteries · 8 → 6

Where did I put the spare phone charger?

It's on your Office drawer list, quantity 1.

Connect to Claude

Open the Intellist listing in Claude's connector directory and add it.
Select Connect. Sign in on intellist.app with the same account you use in the app (Apple, Google, or email), then choose Allow.

Or add it by URL: in Claude (web or desktop), open Customize → Connectors, choose Add custom connector, name it Intellist, and enter:

https://intellist.app/api/mcp

On a Claude Team or Enterprise plan, an organization Owner first adds Intellist under Organization settings → Connectors with the URL above. Each member then connects it and signs in with their own Intellist account.

In Claude Code, run this, then run /mcp to sign in:

claude mcp add --transport http intellist https://intellist.app/api/mcp

Connect to ChatGPT

Open the Intellist plugin in ChatGPT's plugin directory and connect it.
Sign in on intellist.app with the same account you use in the app (Apple, Google, or email), then choose Allow.

You can also find Intellist in ChatGPT under Settings → Plugins.

What you need

An Intellist account, created in the iPhone app. The connector only sees lists that are synced to your account.
Intellist Free or Intellist Pro. Intellist Free includes 3 lists, whether you create them in the app or through an assistant.

Things to ask

“What’s on my grocery list?”
“Add milk, eggs, and coffee filters to my grocery list.”
“I bought the eggs. Check them off.”
“Where did I put the spare phone charger?”
“I used two AA batteries. Update the count in my garage inventory.”
“Make a packing checklist for a weekend camping trip.”

Good to know

What the assistant can and can't touch.

Can see: Your lists and the items on them, including lists shared with you in groups, and search items across lists.
Can change: Create lists, add items, edit an item's name, description, or quantity, and check items on and off.
Can't delete: Lists or items. The one exception is a list you've set to “Delete items when checked”: checking an item there moves it to Trash, as it does in the app, and you can restore it from Trash.
Same names: When two lists or items share a name, the assistant asks which one you mean rather than guessing.
Automations: Run when an assistant changes a count, the same as when you change it in the app. If an automation adds an item to your shopping list when a count runs low, it adds it once, and the assistant tells you it did. Creating or editing automations still happens in the app.
Sync: Changes reach your phone at its next sync, not instantly. Lists on a phone that isn't signed in stay on that phone and aren't visible to the assistant.
Not yet: Photos, item values, actions, automations, groups, and NFC tags aren't available through the connector yet.

Disconnect

Remove Intellist at any time: in Claude, from its connector settings; in ChatGPT, from Settings → Plugins. See the privacy policy for what the connector shares and keeps.
