How do I connect ChatGPT or Claude to Harbor?

You connect your AI through Harbor’s open surface — the CLI and agent skill today, plus an MCP server at launch.

The quickest path, if you use an AI coding assistant:

1. Create a Personal Access Token in Harbor. This is how your AI signs in as you — and you can revoke it any time.
2. Install the harbor CLI.
3. Run harbor skill install. It drops a self-contained agent skill into Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor that teaches the assistant to create, edit, richly format, organize, search, remind, and share notes.

From there, you just ask: “file these meeting notes into the Projects notebook and tag them follow-up,” and your assistant does it through the CLI.

For MCP-capable apps, Harbor ships a first-class MCP server at launch — point your client at it and your notes become a tool the AI can use directly. More on both in What are the Harbor CLI and MCP server?

Building something yourself? Every CLI command supports --json, and harbor openapi hands any tool the complete OpenAPI spec. Third-party apps can integrate via OAuth.

Two privacy notes, plainly stated. Your AI sees only what you’ve authorized it to see, and encrypted notes aren’t part of that — here’s exactly what it gets instead. And what your AI provider does with text you send it is governed by their policies, so connect the AI you trust.
