AI Connect (Diary Box)

Connect Diary Box to an AI app that supports MCP connectors, such as Claude or ChatGPT, to add memos, tidy up scattered memos, and schedule events while you chat. The AI can only see the boxes you choose when you connect.

Connecting (Claude, about 3 minutes)

Before you start, check which account (Kakao, Apple, or Google) you use in the Diary Box app. It's shown at the top of Settings. You need to sign in with the same account, or your boxes won't show.

In the Diary Box app, open Settings → AI Connect → Connect to Claude. This copies the URL and opens Claude's connector settings. (Or in Claude, open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and paste https://diarybox.kr/mcp.)
Select Connect in Claude. A Diary Box page opens in your browser.
If you see a sign-in page, sign in with the same account as the app. If you're already signed in, this step is skipped.
On the next page, check the Signed in as card. If it's the wrong account, select Sign in with another account.
Pick every box Claude should see and select Allow. You're sent back to Claude.

If you connected before, you'll see "This AI app is already connected" after step 4. Tap the connection to change its boxes, then select Go back to the AI app.

Troubleshooting

Only some boxes show → In the app, open Settings → AI Connect, tap the connection and pick more boxes. It applies right away.
No boxes show → You may have signed in with a different account. Check it in step 4.
"The request expired" → Go back to Claude and select Connect again.

Other AI apps: any app that supports MCP connectors (remote MCP servers) can connect the same way: add the URL above as a connector and sign in.

After you create a new box

New boxes aren't added to a connection automatically. Add one in either of these ways.

In the app, go to Settings → Connect AI, tap your Claude connection, check the new box and tap Save.
Or open that box, tap the ⋮ menu at the top right → Ask Claude → Add this box.

It takes effect as soon as you save. Ask Claude "What boxes do I have?" to check that the new box shows up. If a chat you already had open doesn't see it, ask in a new chat. You don't need to sign in again.

What the AI can do

Tool	Example request
List boxes (`list_boxes`)	"What boxes do I have?"
Read and search memos (`read_memos`)	"Show me last week's memos in my Travel box"
Add, edit, delete, and check off memos (`add_memo`, `edit_memo`, `delete_memo`, `set_memo_done`)	"Add 'buy milk' to my Groceries box"
Move memos between boxes (`move_memo`)	"Sort my unfiled memos into the right boxes"
List, read, add, and edit notes (`list_notes`, `read_note`, `add_note`, `edit_note`)	"Summarize my Travel box memos into a note"
List, add, edit, delete, and check off events (`list_schedules`, `add_schedule`, `edit_schedule`, `delete_memo`, `set_memo_done`)	"What's on my calendar this week?", "Add a dentist appointment tomorrow at 3pm"
Today's to-dos: list, add, edit, delete, check off (`list_today_todos`, `add_todo`, `edit_memo`, `delete_memo`, `set_memo_done`)	"What do I need to do today?", "Add 'send report' at 3pm to today"
List, set, and cancel reminders (`list_reminders`, `set_reminder`, `cancel_reminder`)	"Remind me about this memo on Friday at 9am"

Today's to-dos and events made in the app's Today tab or calendar are available to the AI regardless of which boxes you chose.
You can edit, delete, or move only memos you wrote.
Adding an event sends a push notification to your phone right away and sets a reminder for its time.
Before editing, deleting, or moving anything, the AI shows you what it will change.
Times are in Korea Standard Time (KST).

Writing rules

The server sends these rules to the AI automatically when you connect.

Memos: one thing per memo, 1–3 lines, in your own words, no formatting symbols.
Notes: created only when you ask. A one-line summary, ## section headings, lists and to-dos (- [ ]), and a closing line with the date it was organized.

Disconnecting and changing boxes

In the app, Settings → AI Connect lets you change the boxes for each connection or disconnect it. After you disconnect, that AI app can no longer access your boxes.

Privacy

The AI app can read and write only the memos, notes, and reminders in the boxes you chose. It cannot see other boxes or your account details.
This data is sent to the AI service you chose when you ask it to, and its handling after that is governed by that AI service's privacy policy.
Diary Box does not collect your conversations with the AI.
See the Privacy Policy for details.
