Add the Contextli connector (<https://mcp.contextli.com/mcp>) in Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity and sign in with your Contextli email and 6-digit code. The AI can then search and read your notes and contexts right in the chat.

Open the setup steps in Contextli

  1. In the desktop app sidebar, click Pull notes in Claude. This opens the AI Integrations page.
  2. Click Connect on the app you use (for ChatGPT, Open the Contextli app). Contextli shows the steps and lets you copy the MCP server URL.

  1. In Claude, open Settings, then under Customize click Connectors.
  2. Open the Add menu (top right) and choose Add custom connector.
  3. Name it Contextli and paste <https://mcp.contextli.com/mcp> into Remote MCP server URL. Leave the optional OAuth fields blank.
  4. Click Add, then sign in with your Contextli email and the 6-digit code.

ChatGPT

  1. On the AI Integrations page, click Open the Contextli app on the ChatGPT card.
  2. Press Connect (or Use) on the app page in ChatGPT.
  3. Sign in with your Contextli email and the 6-digit code.
  4. Ask ChatGPT to use Contextli, for example “summarise my Contextli notes from this week”.

Perplexity (Pro, Max or Enterprise)

  1. Open your profile menu (bottom left), then Settings, then Connectors.
  2. Click + Custom connector (top right) and choose Remote.
  3. Name it Contextli, paste <https://mcp.contextli.com/mcp>, keep transport on Streamable HTTP, and choose OAuth 2.0.
  4. Tick the risk checkbox and click Add, then click the connector card to finish signing in with your email and 6-digit code.

What the AI can do

  • Search and read your notes, and list your contexts and labels.
  • Save a new note from the chat, and add labels to a note, when you ask.
  • It never edits a note’s text, never deletes anything, and cannot see your billing or settings.

Try: “Go through my meeting notes from the last 7 days and list every follow-up.” The AI Integrations page has more example prompts you can copy with one click.

Troubleshooting

  • Connection stopped working: on the AI Integrations page, open the … menu on that app’s card and choose Reset connection. Then connect again from Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity.
  • Wrong account: sign in with the same email you use in the Contextli app.
  • Still stuck? Email [email protected].
