Step 1: Connect Threadminder to your AI

Using Claude

Open Claude and go to Customize → Connectors. Click the + button, then select Add custom connector.

Fill in the details:

  • Name: Threadminder
  • MCP server URL: https://mcp.threadminder.ai

Click Add, then click the Connect button. Your browser will open for OAuth - sign in and click Open Claude when prompted.

Once connected, you’ll see Threadminder’s tools listed. We recommend clicking Always allow on all of them. This lets Threadminder act proactively - updating your projects mid-conversation, checking in at the start of a session, and saving things without you having to ask every time.

Using ChatGPT

You’ll need a ChatGPT Plus subscription and an active Threadminder account.

  1. Click your name, then go to Settings → Apps → Advanced Settings and toggle Developer Mode on.
  2. Click Create App and enter MCP Server URL: https://mcp.threadminder.ai/mcp
  3. Authorize with your Threadminder account when prompted.
  4. Go to Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions and add: “When Threadminder is connected and I ask about my projects, work, priorities, or what’s next, call get_context before answering.”

Note: Claude loads your context automatically. ChatGPT requires the custom instruction due to differences in how the two platforms handle MCP initialization.

Step 2: Pull in your first project

You don’t need to start fresh to get value from Threadminder. In fact, the best place to start is a conversation you’re already having.

Open any existing chat - something you’ve been actively working on. A project, a plan, something with real context already built up. Then just ask:

“Can you take what you know about this and make a project/status?”

That’s it. Your AI reads the conversation, pulls out what matters - summary, status, pending actions - and saves it to Threadminder. The whole thing takes about 5 seconds.

That’s it

From that point on, anytime you talk about it, your project stays automatically up to date. No manual updates, no forms to fill out. Just keep working the way you already do.

Next time you bring it up, in any chat, it already knows where you left off. No re-explaining. No copy-pasting. You just keep going.

That’s the whole idea.
