Connect Verdalia to your AI assistant

You can connect Verdalia to the AI assistant you already use. Once connected, it can look at your garden and write down the care you tell it about — so "I just watered the fig" lands in your journal without you opening the app.

What it can do

See your plants, their care schedule, reminders and alerts — the same things you see on your Overview.
Log care you tell it about: watering, fertilizing, misting, notes and the rest, on one plant or several at once.
Adjust a plant's own care schedule — its cadences, light preference or notes — and postpone a reminder.
Look up your collection stats, streaks and badges, and search the species library.

And what it cannot do — by design, not by policy:

It can never delete a plant, a photo or a care entry. Logging only ever adds, and you can correct anything it wrote from the app.
It cannot upload photos or run photo identification.
It cannot change your account, your plan or your settings.

The address you'll need

Every assistant asks for the same thing — the connector's address. There is no token to copy: you sign in to Verdalia in your browser and approve the connection there, and you can withdraw it just as easily.

Claude

In Claude's settings, add a custom connector and paste the address above. Claude opens a Verdalia page where you sign in and approve the connection; after that it appears in your tools. The Claude desktop app uses this same flow — remote connectors are brokered through your Claude account rather than configured on the machine itself; claude_desktop_config.json is for local servers, a different feature.

ChatGPT

Turn on Developer Mode in ChatGPT's settings on the web — custom MCP connectors live behind it there — then add a connector with the address above and approve it on the Verdalia page.

ChatGPT restricts write-capable connectors on some plans. If yours is one of them, the reading tools still work and logging care simply won't be offered.

Google Gemini

Gemini's connector requires Gemini Spark access, an age of 18 or older, US residence, and a personal Google Account rather than a work or school one.

Go to gemini.google.com, open Settings & help, then Connected Apps, and under Custom apps for Spark choose Add a custom app. Enter the address above and select Next. Dynamic client registration is the default path, so you never need to touch the Advanced features credential fields.

Mistral Le Chat

Open Connectors, choose + Add Connector, then the Custom MCP Connector tab. Give the connector a name and paste the address above — a description is optional — then select Connect. Le Chat detects the authentication method itself and walks you through approving access. This is documented as an administrator-only feature, but on the Free, Pro and Student plans the account owner is the administrator by default, so nothing extra is needed.

Claude Code

Add it from your terminal, then run /mcp inside Claude Code to sign in.

claude mcp add verdalia -t http https://api.verdalia.app/mcp/user

Desktop and editor clients

Clients that run on your own machine must use a loopback redirect — an address starting with http://localhost. Custom schemes like cursor:// are not accepted, because they cannot be verified as belonging to anyone.

Cursor and VS Code with GitHub Copilot both work this way already: each registers itself with Verdalia automatically and redirects through localhost — Cursor to http://localhost:8787/callback, VS Code to http://127.0.0.1:33418 — which is exactly the loopback rule above. In Cursor, add the address above to your mcp.json file and enable it; in VS Code, run MCP: Add Server from the Command Palette and paste the address when prompted.

How much you can use it

Each account can make 200 connector requests a day on the free plan and 2,000 on Pro, counted across every assistant you connect. Connecting an assistant and letting it list its tools uses a few of those before you ask anything, so a day of heavy chatting costs more than the questions you count. The tally resets at midnight UTC, and your assistant can ask Verdalia how much is left. If you run out, it will tell you so rather than failing silently.

Withdrawing access

Open Settings › Connected apps in Verdalia. Each connected assistant is listed with where it connects from and when it was last used, and revoking takes effect immediately — the assistant loses access on its very next request.
